Flames Of War - Soviet: SU Tank-Killer Battery

The Sredniy Samokhodno-artillyeriyskiy Polk, or Medium Self-propelled Artillery Regiment, is an essential unit for the Red Army’s breakthrough tactics. These regiments back up the tankers and motorised infantry to give them serious antitank support.

The medium assault gun regiments are equipped with some of the most effective tank killers of the war. The SU-85 came into service in 1943 and quickly proved the value of assault gun regiments supporting tank corps. In fact, brigades of medium assault guns were formed and sent to the front line starting in February 1944.

These brigades and regiments are equipped with SU-85s, the heavily armoured SU-85M, and the very powerful SU-100. These weapons are ideal supplements to a tank force, using their ability to engage the enemy at long range. However, they are equally potent on their own.

While not intended to launch a direct assault on the enemy, they are well-equipped and trained to engage the enemy at a distance and bring their tanks under fire in order to draw attention off the tankmen and mechanised infantry.

The medium assault gun regiments are expert tank-killers. Armed with powerful weapons such as the SU-85, SU-85M, and SU-100, these troops can engage the enemy’s tanks at long range with deadly accuracy.
