SU-76M Tank Destroyer

The SU-76M virtually replaced infantry tanks in the close support role. Its thin armour and open top made it vulnerable to anti-tank weapons, grenades, and small arms. However, its low weight and low ground pressure gave it good mobility. The SU-76M was a good weapon against any medium or light German tank. It could also knock-out a Panther tank by hitting it’s side armour. but the 76.2mm ZiS-3 gun was not powerful enough against heavy Tiger tanks.
