The SU-18 is a Soviet tier 2 self-propelled gun.
Self-propelled gun on the basis of the MS-1 chassis. This model only existed in blueprints, with no prototypes developed. Never entered mass production.
If you enjoyed the MS-1 you just got out of, then you'll feel right at home in the SU-18. It has the same hull and engine, right down to the distinctive put-put-put sound. The SU-18 is slow and has a fairly short range. Remember to take advantage of that short range to lead your targets more easily with a, relatively, reduced shell flight time. Armed with a 76mm gun similar to that of the T57, it has good accuracy and rate of fire. It's a good platform for trying your hand at artillery combat. Just remember that in a straight-up fight you are actually worse off than you were in your MS-1. You have no turret to aim with, so stay well hidden as far back as you can manage while still being in range of the enemy.
The SU-18 marks the end of its Soviet self-propelled gun line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good rate of fire
- Good elevation arc
Cons:
- Low engine power and top speed
- Poor view range
Performance
The SU-18 is a pretty effective artillery piece. It paves the way for the play style of the next two Russian SPG's. It's greatest advantage will be the extreme rate of fire. It will normally be facing low-tiered tanks, and with this high fire rate it can destroy any tank it encounters. It's small size allows the SU-18 to hide in small bushes, shrubs, and be extremely difficult to find and hit. Be sure to move up with your team constantly, however, because the gun has a very short range.
Early Research
- Fortunately the engine upgrades for the MS-1 carry over, so you should upgrade to the AMO-3 engine immediately upon purchasing this SPG.
- Upgrade the suspension for faster turning
- Research the 9RK radio before proceeding.

Historical Info
The SU-18 is a variant of the T-18/MC-1.
In November of 1929 ANII K. M. Ivanov, commissioned by the UMM RKKA, produced a self-propelled gun based on the T-18, as well as the ammunition carrier for it. The prototype was a captured French Renault FT-17BS. The SU-18 kept the same design as the French vehicle, but replaced the tower with one that resembles a truncated pyramid. The SU-18 used the 76.2-mm regimental gun model 1927 with a slotted muzzle brake to reduce rollback. It had an ammunition capacity of 4-6 rounds and no machine guns. Other prototypes were created using a high-power 37-mm PC-2 gun and a 45-mm model 1930 tank gun, which was planned to be installed on T-24 tanks.
