Thanks for sharing these, SS. I’m actually from the EU server, but on holiday in the states visiting my wife’s family. It is a shame it’s been left there and not looked after. I tried to find out how long it’s been there. My wife (26) remembers it being there when she was a kid, so at least 10-15 years. Her mother remembers it being there for the entire 40 years she has lived here. Whether it has really been there that long is uncertain, but it’s a decent estimate.
I’ve seen a few guys on the NA forum who have expressed an interest in cleaning up the vehicle in response to this post, which I think is fantastic. Thanks again for sharing these photos. Hopefully this vehicle gets the care it deserves.

The SU101 is an awesome tank. Decent mobility, high DPM. It just requires some thought on positioning because it has no depression – get caught on the brow of a hill and your dead.

Interesting to see that tracks are garage-style…

You know the 261 is an arty piece right? Putting a TD in an arty line would be really fricking weird.

The price of steel per ton makes it not worth the effort. Plus its kinda out in the open with lots of people seeing what your doing…

on a weight / price basis it’s worth much more than conventional steel armor.
but a cooper steam-punk tank would be the wet dream of the scrap metal collectors. ;)
