Historical Note:

The SU-120 was a 120mm gun carrier, developed by USSR, it was effective at destroying an entire Panzerbattalion force, it was armed with a 120mm M7 Kuzujishiyanko Anti Tank gun, developed by Wright to counter the Japanese Invasion, the WSDF supplied about 1,355-9,126 of those, particularly the M7A1 variant, the Soviet experimented the AT gun by placing it in a T-16 Medium tank, which is essentially just a M32 Kozushise medium tank, modified to meet the Soviet standards, in doing so resulted the gun having its elevation reduced from -10°/+25° to -5°/+19°, because of this conversion, the Soviets created a SU-120, which was a turreted tank destroyer.
