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 was added to the game in patch 0.8.4. It is a very powerful tank destroyer, with the highest alpha damage of any Tier 6 tank (excluding the KV-2's 152mm and SPGs). Unfortunately, its exceptionally large tank, which can be somewhat awkward in handling and the armor is quite thin on all sides. It is sometimes called 'the boxtank'.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Surprising speed and agility for its large size.
- One of the most powerful guns of its tier, boasting superb penetration and alpha damage.
- High hit points for tank destroyer.
- Thick gun mantlet.
- Excellent rammer due to its good speed, acceleration, and heavy weight.
Cons:
- Very large silhouette and poor camouflage values.
- Does not have access to higher penetration ammunition other than regular AP.
- Reload is slow (3,75 rounds per minute, same as KV-1S) which results quite low DPM for tank destroyer (if not firing premium
- Weak armor other than the gun mantlet.
- Low signal range.
Performance
With a gun that rivals that of the KV-2 in terms of raw damage, the SU-100Y is a highly dangerous tank destroyer. While the 130 mm B-13-S2 is not quite as powerful as the KV-2's 152 mm M-10, it has far better penetration, accuracy and aim time, as well as a significantly shorter reload. With 440HP average damage, the regular AP ammunition will reliably 1-shot all Tier 4 tanks and Tier 5 TDs and mediums and can 2 shot any tier 6 heavy tanks and most tier 7 tank destroyers. The more expensive AP ammunition trades lower penetration for even more damage, reliably 1-shotting Tier 5 medium tanks and 2-shotting tier 7 mediums and even some tier 8 tank destroyers.
As the in-game description hints, this tank destroyer is best used as an assault gun. The tall silhouette and poor signal range will make it more difficult to play a classic sniper/ambush tank destroyer role, though it is by no means impossible. The SU-100Y also has the mobility to keep up with teammates, who can cover it during the long reload. In exchange, the SU-100Y's gun can cripple even Tier 8 tanks, and wields a significant fear factor not unlike that of the KV-2. While it definitely does not have the armor for prolonged slugging matches, the SU-100Y has more HP than other Tier 6 tank destroyers - except AT 8 with 800HP - and can generally take a few more hits.

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.
