Su85

coolman1218's Photo coolman1218 Apr 01 2012

Hi. Im about to get the su85 and was wondrringif the 107mm was even worth the 14k xp with the su100 being only 26k xp. I have a kv with the 107 and its a awesome $ maker. Is tge su85 the same?

its worth it.   you dont have a ton of HP or armor, but you can one-shot many tanks at your tier and lower and you can damage just about anything else you will thrown in with.  really fun and a good earner, but with the 107.  this way it  makes good practice for the Su100 with the D25.

Yes the 107mm with the SU-85 is a great experience

Is it a good $ maker? Is it a keeper like the kv?

I personally have re-bought the SU-76 with its 57mm gun. If I wasn't cheap and bought another slot, I would have probably re-bought the SU-85 as well. It was a lot of fun. Not sure about the money, it's been a while ago. But the fun factor is there!

[edit] Still think the 76 is more fun  :Smile-hiding:

Once KV-2 moves to tier 6, SU-85 w/ the 107mm will be the king of tier V in terms of the gun (107).

I did saw tree, not sure if it is actual true or was changing, but KV-2 still is tier 5 but only advance into SPG.

grant if they do make KV-2 tier 6. then Su-85 will be monstrous on field with 107.

I have a JT, Ferdi, T30, and ISU152.  I also have an SU85 and a Marder II.  The Marder II is for fun.  The SU85 is for credits.  I make more on it than I do on a KV.  Plus it helps me think TD.  

It's a keeper, so get the 107.  Totally OMFG p0wning when the top tank is tier 5.....yet can still hit tier 7 tanks reliably, even higher tanks with side shots.

Dev's have changed their mind and decided to push it to tier 6

Ditto on the 107...it is a great TD with it.  Decent number of kills per game, and it always makes credits for me.

yes, you can enjoy 1-shot to kill tier 5 light-tank and med-tank
you can change your win/loss ratio to 50%+ :Smile_honoring:
Top gun and your teammate will look you up.

I have the SU-85 with 107mm and its a real tank destroyer for its tier. You can two shot KVs and Churchills and mostly every other T5 and lower medium + light. It's gun is still decent enough to penetrate higher tier tanks if you're thrown against them.

The 107mm is the difference between being a mean little bitch and dying like one.

Good info. I had the same question myself concerning the gun for SU-85. I have enough free xp to research both 107mm and 122mm. But after reading this thread I will give the 107 a spin and research engine. Another question I had is this TD worth keeping in my garage once I move up to SU-100?

yes, shoes. It is very good money maker beside Preimum tier 8 tanks

The 107 is definitely worth it.  More so when you consider that the SU-100/SU-152 only get a 175 pen gun as their top guns.  Thats only 8 pen higher than your own, and its up to two tiers above you.  The SU-85 is a monster and can deal with just about anything thrown at it.

After over 12,000 battles SU-85 is still my most successful vehicle. Now that I accumulated some credits I can afford buying an extra equipment for it.

I would like to find out which one you recommend?

How is the camo on the SU-85?  Can it be really well hidden like the StugIII?

yes, it can hide all way to 50m. I know because I seen it before when I hide in bush at fishman bay map that is 60m from my base.
