The USSR light tank tech tree currently ends with the post-war PT-76. We present the ASU-85, which will take it's rightful place after the PT-76 in the tree and become a top tank at rank IV. What is the ASU-85?
The ASU, or aviadesantnaya samokhodnaya ustanovka (air-landing self-propelled gun), armed with an 85mm cannon, was developed in the post-war Soviet Union as a vehicle for Soviet airborne landing troops. It was intended to be air-dropped and reinforce infantry in offense or defense with its powerful artillery fire directly on the battlefield. This SPG was the logical successor to the ASU-57, and from 1959, it replaced its predecessor in the forces.

Light, small and agile
The ASU-85 is based on the PT-76 amphibious tank already familiar to our players. To reduce its dimensions and increase its compactness, the ASU-85 received no rotating turret. Its powerful cannon was installed directly in the hull. Outwardly, this makes the ASU similar to other classic self-propelled guns, reduces its profile, allows its crew to work in more comfortable conditions and speeds up the cannon reload time. Obviously, the SPG had to be made as light as possible for airborne transportation and landing. Because of this, it was decided in the design phase not to give it thick armour. As a result, its armour is quite light (45 mm maximum at the front), although it is placed at a high angle on the frontal hull.
In the game, the ASU-85 takes the role of a light and mobile support SPG: Although the 85mm cannon has an ammo complement of just 39 rounds, it can fire with improved post-war ammunition. The vehicle’s small dimensions and low profile are its main advantages in laying an ambush. Quickly capturing an enemy point and lying in wait, or simply ambushing the target in one direction and then change position quickly – this is the style that perfectly suits all owners of this SPG. The important thing is to always take the first shot and don’t get shot in return. If you learn to fire accurately and quickly, and then don’t hang around, you’ll get along just fine with the ASU-85.
This air-landing self-propelled gun will arrive in the game soon™
Keep an eye on the news!

I don't mind more light tanks for the soviets at all! But as someone who has grinded all the vehicles in the German tech tree, I hope they get some new interresting stuff soon! (Me 262 HG series, Ju 88 with 75mm and 88mm and such)
what rank is it going to be
I thank it should be rank 4
i know this sounds stupid but was the MIG-19 used after WW2 or in WW2?
The MiG-19 was used far far after World War Two. Entering service in 1955, with the performance it had it also would have been untouchable during the 1940s.
i guess War thunder saw my comment on the ASU-57 post when i said add in the ASU-85
Very nice, now I'm jsut waiting for the ASU-76
just*
If based on the hull of the PT76 will this vehicle be amphibious too?
No it will not be. There was an amphibious ASU-57 designated ASU-57P, but no ASU-85P
The ASU-85 will have an absolutely beastly 85mm, considering it fired D-10T 100mm rounds that were necked out to fire an 85mm projectile :D So the AP will be between 180-230mm im guessing. and the 3BK-7 had 260mm penetration (HEATFS) or there is the 3BK-7M with 300mm penetration This tank will be very interesting and fun
seems nice and phat (cool), but... the infra-red is useless coz Panther II has also infra red in ingame, but u cant use it. Please make it able!
Cant say I didn't see this coming 😉. This is awesome, and glad they were added. But btw, they will almost literally be useless unless they can fullfill thier actual role as being air droppable support. I guess im saying, They should be airdropable
**The ASU's being air droppable, not the PT-76
*If the PT-76 Can fullfill its role as being amphibious (almost literally the only good thing about it besides its post war HEAT, which every other tank of its period has haha) shouldnt these be airdroppable?
