SU-130PM: Soviet Tier VIII Premium Tank Destroyer
2 min readThe Soviet Tier VIII Premium tank destroyer was finally introduced to the game files with the latest micro-patch. The SU-130PM might be the first turreted tank destroyer introduced to the Russian nation, but it’s plans aren’t clear yet.
A possible new turreted tank destroyer branch might come in 2019 according to some rumours and the introduction of this vehicle in the game files indicates this is highly possible.
The SU-130PM is a project for a tank destroyer with an open cabin based on the SU-100PM. Unlike its predecessor, this modification featured a more powerful 130 mm gun that required specific changes to be introduced in the vehicle design. No information is publicly available if this was ever a proposed modification or not, only a 100 mm and 152 mm versions are known.
No details yet when this vehicle will be on released but all stats present in the article are the most up to date ones.

By stats its some kind of Russian copy of Skorpion G…
How about letting the Russians coast for a few months and doing some work on the American and German trees? Power creeped and stale.
According to tanks.gg it doesn’t habe a fully rotatable turret but only a +-77.5° gun horizontal arc. Also there the turret traverse is listed with 22.94°/s which seems far more realistic for a turrete TD (they usually have like 18°/s), the 31.29°/s seems to be just for (vertical) gun traverse.
Can you confirm that? Wouldn’t be a complete Skorpion copy then.
russian , better scorp g
just dont sell this this is op in all the ways. its a better skorp g and skorp g is already op. and it makes no sence there is no russian td line to support it.
