The SU-100Y in terms of armament is even better than the IS in terms of power, as instead of a 122mm with 175mm of pen, you have a 130mm that packs a better punch and has a considerable 21mm more penetration.

However, remember the SU-100Y is among the last words in finishing off opponents in its tier, a crafty SU-100Y operator can pull out and around a corner to land a killing pot shot square on a target, in most cases at half health, with ineffective armor if allies are engaging them, allowing them to move on to other targets and thus assisting your team. | |

The SU-100Y is a Soviet tier 6 premium tank destroyer.
Developed on the basis of the T-100 heavy tank. The vehicle was intended to neutralize fortified emplacements and enemy vehicles, and was equipped with the improved B-13-S2 naval gun. The only prototype was manufactured in March 1940. The vehicle never entered mass production.
The SU-100Y is a very large tank for its tier, larger than even some tier VIII heavy tanks. The SU-100Y has a devastating 130mm gun that, with a Gun Rammer and 100% crew, loads in less than 14 seconds, dealing an average of 440 damage a shell. It is also very mobile for its size, but unfortunately has next to no armor to cover its massive profile. The SU-100Y is sometimes referred to as the "boxtank".

Performance
The SU-100Y is all about the gun - the 130mm Weapon of Doom. With an average damage of 440 (510 with premium) the gun can wreck all lower tier tanks, one-shot everything in tier 4, and if it penetrates any tier 6 other than the TOG II*, it will shave off half of said tank's HP pool. With a 100% crew, Improved Ventilation, and a Tank Gun Rammer, this TD can reload in less than 13.50 seconds, making the eventual DPM 1,750.
One of the best tactics to use in this tank is to play it as a front line support role TD, having a hill to shoot off of, and a rock or house to duck behind after you fire your gun. This tank is never going to do well as a brawler or sniper, and trying to take the role of the VK 36.01 (H) or StuG III Ausf. G will result in untimely and useless death, while playing the front line support tank can, if done properly, result in excellent games. Players who have done well in both the KV-85 and IS may find playing this tank a little easier than others, as some skills learned in both of these tanks can give a rough picture of how to play the SU-100Y. But do not forget, this is a tank destroyer, not a heavy tank, use camo crew skill for this tank would help it considerably, especially with its enormous size for a tier 6.
The SU-100Y's hull armor values are nearly identical to that of the KV-85's, except it has 15mm less in the front, which can make a negative difference in some instances. The SU-100Y, despite its size, also feels about as agile as a partially upgraded KV-85, although it does feel like it turns slower due to its size for a tier VI. The SU-100Y in terms of armament is even better than the IS in terms of power, as instead of a 122mm with 175mm of pen, you have a 130mm that packs a better punch and has a considerable 21mm more penetration. Not to mention the higher accuracy of the 130mm gun, which is comparable to KV-85's 100mm gun. Though these do not mean you should brawl against an IS because the SU-100Y's reload speed is comparable to that of the KV-85 equipped with its own 122mm.

In a tier VIII battle, keep your distance from the heat of the battle and simply pick at targets of opportunity. If you have a tier 8 exposing its side to you in your line of fire, place a shot into it. If you get a shot opportunity on a tier 7 or 6 tank that you know you can pen from your position, take it.

Historical Info
During the Winter War it was proposed to modernize the T-100 with a more powerful armament, the 152 mm M-10 gun, able to destroy concrete structures, particularly in dragon's teeth, a common anti-tank measure amongst Europe's fixed fortifications during World War II. A new turret to accommodate the 152 mm howitzer was implemented around March 1940. This new model was designated T-100-Z. However this project was abandoned because of KV-1 and the 152mm equipped KV-2 tanks were superior. In April 1940, the N°185 factory proposed a self-propelled gun (prototype 103) for coastal defence based on the T-100 and armed with the B-13 130 mm naval gun installed in a rotating turret with three 7.62 mm machine-guns. This project never went beyond the drawing boards.
When work was stopped on the T-100 project, the SU-100Y was transported to Kubinka in the summer of 1940. In November 1941, at the most critical moment of battle in the suburbs of Moscow, the SU-100Y, together with the 152 mm gun armed experimental SU-14 and Su-14-1, was pressed into service in an Independent Artillery Division for Special Duties. Further information of the combat record of the unit has not been made known. Unlike its base model (T-100), the SU-100Y prototype survived the war and is a part of the collection at the Kubinka Tank Museum.
