I would like to propose that the SU-100, SU-85 and SU-122 be merged into a single article. The vehicles are basically the same differing guns. Oberiko 15:35, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Front armour

LostArtilleryman, where do you get the armour figures? The table in Zaloga & Grandsen, Soviet Tanks and Combat Vehicles of World War Two, (p. 179) lists hull front 45 mm, hull side 45, hull rear 45, hull roof 20, hull bottom 20, all the same as the SU-122 and SU-85, and the text description makes no mention of up-armouring. Could this be a later upgrade, or a figure referring specifically to the gun mantlet and not hull armour? —Michael Z. 2005-11-8 16:27 Z

The front armour figures was taken from Russian book A. Solyankin, I. Zheltov, M. Zheltov, I. Pavlov // Soviet medium self propelled guns 1941-1945. All other Russian experts (Svirin, Baryatinskiy etc.) confirms this. Probably, some SU-85 was rearmed during repair by D-10S and these vehicles really had 45 mm front armour. I can upload to Wikipedia scans from these books to solve this question. All my native language sources contain 75 mm front armour thickness. LostArtilleryman 17:36, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

No need for proof; it sounds like your sources are good. Just wanted to get our facts straight. —Michael Z. 2005-11-8 17:47 Z
