The <value_unset_error> is a [[|]] tier .
<value_unset_error>
It's the slowest artillery in its tier, but it has the highest rate of fire. It's primary advantage is the turret; it is the only tier III artillery that has one. This makes it a fun and easy-to-play vehicle. It will, however, have trouble reaching across the map, so you may have to move to a more forward position to be effective.
The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Has a turret, giving it a 360' gun arc (the turret turns instead of the tank)
- Good signal range
Cons:
- Poor range
- Lousy damage against strong armor
Performance
This SPG starts out with the same gun as the SU-18, which can be painfully weak at this tier. Since it uses the T-26 chassis, it uses the same engines as the T-26. The turret allows this SPG to be far more stealthy than other SPGs because it doesn't have to turn its chassis. Therefore, you definitely want to use a Camo Net since you don't have to break the camo bonus by turning. Unfortunately, it has the lowest range of all tier 3 SPGs, so it has to get uncomfortably close to the fighting. Still, a turret on an SPG is an extremely rare feature, so many players choose to keep the SU-26 permanently.
Comparing this SPG to the other Tier III SPGs, the top gun has much worse damage, but much better penetration than any of the 105mm guns on its counterparts. This means that the SU-26 will do much better attacking less heavily armoured targets. Do not waste your shots on the well-armoured KV-1 or T-150 unless you really need to pin them down - the most you'll do is scratch the paint. Instead, use your guns to soften up mediums and lights, so they can be dispatched by your team. A French heavy or a side hit on a T1 HT or M6 can also be relied on for serious damage.
Early Research
- The 71-TK-3 and 9RK radios carry over from the SU-18 and can be installed immediately.
- If you played the T-26 previously, the T-26F engine will be available and can be installed immediately.
- If you haven't played the T-26 previously, you should research the T-26F engine right away, skipping the T-26M.
- If you want, you can research and buy the 76 mm 1903/30 now, or just skip it.
- Next research the suspension so you can turn faster and have the weight capacity for the 122mm.
- Now work on upgrading your gun.
- Lastly research the 12LL radio, which is quite helpful.

Historical Info
The SU-26, also known as SU-T-26, SU-76P or Leningrad self-propelled gun, was produced in 1941 by the Factory of Hoisting-and-Conveying Machinery named after S.M. Kirov in Leningrad. According to one source(1) 14 were built, probably 2 with 37mm gun, and 12 with the 76.2 mm regimental gun mod. 1927. Another source(2) speaks of 15 built, with no mention of any 37mm gun.
Artillery tank Variants of the T-26
- T-26 mod. 1931 with the A-43 welded turret developed by N. Dyrenkov. Note the ball mount for the DT tank machine gun. Leningrad. 1933.
- T-26 with the A-43 turret[42][43][44] - artillery T-26 or "tank of fire support" with a turret developed by self-taught inventor N. Dyrenkov at the Experimental Design Office of the Department of Mechanization and Motorization of the RKKA (UMM RKKA). Two types of turrets, armed with the 76 mm regimental gun mod. 1927 and DT tank machine gun in a ball mount, were assembled by the Izhora Factory. They were partially pressed and welded. The first variety was installed on the T-26 mod. 1931 in February 1932, and the second type was used in November 1932 (in the last case, the rear armored plate of the underturret box was made sloping).
It was found that the A-43 turret was very tight for two crewmembers. It had an insufficient observation field, there was no turret ventilation (which made continuous gunfire difficult), and it was hard to rotate the turret manually. At the beginning of 1933, a new 76 mm KT tank gun mod. 1927/32 with reduced (from 900 mm to 500 mm) recoil length was installed into the A-43 turret. Nevertheless, it was proved again that the turret was still a very tight place for crew members. In addition, the ammunition stowage for 54 rounds was unsuccessful. As a result, the military refused the A-43 turret.
- T-26-4[45] — artillery tank with enlarged turret armed with the 76.2 mm KT tank gun mod. 1927/32 (some modern sources mention this tank as T-26A, A stands for artilleriysky or "artillery"). The turret was developed by the Bolshevik Factory (since February 1932 - by the Design Office of the established Factory No. 174) in 1931-1932, and was installed on the T-26 mod. 1931 in November, 1932. Unlike the A-43 turret, the turret by Factory No. 174 was much more convenient for the crew. The turret of the T-26-4 was quite similar to the main turret of the T-28 medium tank.
