The SU-100 is the ultimate in Soviet tank hunting tech. For a mere 31 points you can bring 5 Fearless, Veteran, and Careful tank hunters with AT15 cannons and Firepower 2+, what's not to love? Well there are some strings attached, but lets talk about that below.

First let's talk about the most impressive aspect of this Tank Destroyer, it's gun. The SU-100 mounts a 100mm D-10S cannon, giving it a 32" range, AT 15, and a 2+ firepower. This gun is fully capable of smashing almost any tank in the game into fragments. It comes with some major drawbacks though: like all soviet big guns, it uses a rather large bullet to do this (it weighed about twice as much as comparable German 88mm rounds), meaning that you have a paltry RoF 1/1 and slow firing. 

Armor-wise, the SU-100 uses an up-armored T-34 chassis that is somewhat tougher than the SU-85, giving it armor 7/5/1. This means you are very capable of resisting shots from medium tanks. The problem is, you should be throwing these things against heavy tanks, which often have cannons fully capable of turning you inside out. This means that while you won't have to worry about many of the medium tanks that are escorting the heavies you need to kill, heavy tanks are still a problem. This is made a bit easier courtesy of your careful 4+ to hit rating.

Mobility isn't great but it's not bad. 10" tactical is very standard and these things will get where you need them. Unless it's in woods, that is. The SU-100 has a 5+ cross, so trees are just as bad for you as enemy AT guns. Instead of playing woods, try playing ridges, wheat fields, or low walls for cover.

The SU-100s interesting combination of traits make it a very situational beast. It can't move and fire very well, it can't take the heavy hits, and it can't really take advantage of rough terrain like woods to stay safe. Your best bet is to play a ridge, where your cross won't bother you as much and you can take full cover until the enemy shows up, then pop over with your 3+ blitz and blast them. Another good use is as an ambush unit, but if you're doing that, you may as well have just brought the 100mm AT guns. Nevertheless, if you do catch your opponent flat-footed you'll make your points back pretty fast.
