Initiatives were sanctioned by the October 19, 1942 directive from the GKO to GAZ & Zavod n°38 plants to prepare mass-production of a modified T-70 chassis SPG named the SU-12, mounting the 76.2 mm (3 in) ZIS-3. In November 1942 both prototypes were tested. The GAZ prototype was rejected, while Factory #38 model passed the tests and formed the basis for the mass-production of the SU-76. The latter was made of a lengthened T-70 chassis (with an extra roadwheel pair). A ZiS-3sh was placed at the rear, protected by an enclosed 10-35 mm (0.39-1.38 in) thick sloped armored casemate. The engine was made of two GAZ-202 engines parallel to one another, each engine driving one track. The driver was placed between them, to the front, but had troubles operating them without good training. The gun had a coaxial DT machine-gun and the crew of three also carried personal firearms. Production started in December and, by January 1943, the first two regiments were sent on the Volkhov front. As the first Soviet SPG, the SU-76 filled three roles in the Red Army, well served by its speed and low ground pressure, despite its vulnerability: light assault gun, mobile anti-tank weapon and mobile gun for indirect fire. In the first case the open compartment eased communications between ground troops and battlefield awareness. It had greater firepower compared to previous infantry tanks, and was hugely popular in its close support role. Info. thanks to Tank Encyclopedia
