Is SU-100P a real tank?

[Gord]

When i search it on google or youtube the only thing that pops up is war thunder. no matter what or where i search i find no evidence of this tank existing in real life.

1) They never said they will remove it. They just haven't denied the possibility at some point in the future.
2) There's a big difference between pure concepts on paper and actual prototypes.

I did a quick search and real images were immediatly brought up.

There is v-3 guns, Does it mean we should ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ have them? no. The point is Production accepted for the army not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tests made by scientists. Otherwise we would have tanks made 1-5 times for tests

We have plenty of those. On all nations, btw. The tree would be awfully thin in many cases if we had no prototypes and mini-series. And some nations would have only one or even no tanks in certain BR ranges without them.

Despite finding this article, its still hard to find info on the SU-100P compared to a lot of other tanks. Its a rare poorly documented prototype that never went beyond 20 vehicles.

I also find it odd Gaijin might remove the 105mm Tiger II despite a large amount of post-war Soviet tanks being purely prototypes, with some never going beyond a single production model

#waitingfor STURMTIGER cause why not, gaijin loves prototypes it seems.

But but sturmtiger was not a protype, it was built and used in combat

The vehicle was even accepted into service in 1955, but it quickly got nowhere after that because of changing requirements and only a couple of dozens were built (with only one surviving to present day). If you want more information you'll have to search in Russian. The vehicle is fairly obscure so it would be overly optimistic to expect a lot of info on it in English.

That necro though. @_@
