SU-76 Tank Destroyer

SU-76 design started in November 1942. The T-70 was chosen for mounting 76.2mm ZiS-3 gun. However it was too short for good gun mounting and it was lengthened and one extra road wheel per side added. These vehicles were completely enclosed with the gun mounted in a citadel instead of a turret. Consequently the gun had very limited traverse.
