The shell also has very low muzzle velocity and is very difficult to aim at medium to long range without aim assist or rangefinding crew skill (which normally players do not have yet). The HEAT shell can penetrate pretty much anything the SU-122 can face, but has a very focused shape of damage, therefore it is likely that the enemy tank will survive the attack if it is wide enough. Nonetheless, it is a very strong tool against teams made of light or medium tanks. Avoid firing directly at tanks cannons, as it might reduce the splash damage from the shell and let them survive the shot. Unfortunately, the HE shell requires some extra time to aim, as quite often hits to the frontal armour of enemy tanks does nothing, particularly in an up-tier. It doesn't necessarily have to be turret roof, as even hull roof penetration generally leads to the tank's demise. The HE shell isn't the strongest at the BR, but it is strong enough to defeat most tanks roofs and destroy them via overpressure. The SU-122 uses two types of shells: the HE and the HEAT.

Suspension wheels and tracks are 20 mm thick.

Cast homogeneous armour (Gun mantlet, Driver's hatch).

Having 5 crew members is not spectacular, but it still gives you a fighting chance if 1 or 2 crew members are knocked out. Note that if you lose your gun and/or tracks, you're losing all means of fighting back or retreating. Unfortunately, its side armour will fail to stop most shells fired directly at it, so angling should be minimal as to avoid being obliterated by a patient sniper.Дue to frontal armour being nigh impenetrable for many light and medium tanks until BR 3.0, most players will aim at your gun mantlet and very likely penetrate it, breaking the gun breech. This allows it to face most enemies with lighter armament frontally and 'tank' their shells.

Sloped at about 50В° with 45 mm of steel, and an even stronger lower glacis reaching up to 100 mm of armour with an angle about 20-70В°. The front glacis of the tank is very strong against tanks of similar BR.

It is very hard for it to hit targets from over 500 m in Realistic and Simulator battles, so its users often resort to rushing an enemy tank and shooting it at point-blank range, but this only works if there are no other enemy tanks because with an untrained crew it can take anywhere from 20 to 33 seconds before the SU-122 has reloaded.

It also has a very strong frontal armour which will deflect most kinetic shells at its BR. The main feature of this SPG is a powerful gun, but you have to make a good use of the first shot. This vehicle was created on T-34 chassis and carries a fearsome 122 mm M-30 howitzer.

It was introduced during the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41. The SU-122 is a rank II Soviet tank destroyer
