i don't have the exact figures on the su-100 but i believe the weight difference in chasis was only refering to a t-34 when completed as a t-34/76 or t-34/85, not a su-100

Yes, that is what I want to know, where the extra 10,000 lb came from on the T-34/85 over the T-34/76.

"based on the 31 ton T-34 chassis
not the 36 ton T-34/85 chassis "

I can only find an increase of 220lb for a whole tank.

T-34-85s main gun weigh was 1540kg ~ 4400lb...
And F-34 cannon weight was 1155kg ~ 2547lb

Excuse me but t-34/85 never weighted 36 tons.
~ 32 tons

1540kg = 3395 lb. > a typo???

That only accounts for 850 lb. of the 10,000 lb.

dankes, it is so hard getting info on this 10,000 lb increase here. All I have ever seen is, as you say, 32 ton.

Correct.

Weight of early model t-34 (L-11 cannon) was 26.5 tons. It increased to ~30.5 tons in T-34/76 41 year model (F-34 cannon). (dunno how... mb armor thickened etc)

I often encounter the following sentence in different articles  about T-34 (IMHO original author is Igor Shmelev) "the weight of t-34/85 increased by 6 tons in comparison to first model". Ppl treat it incorrectly and suppose the weight of t-34/85 to be 36 tons (30+6)

Correct is 26+6 = 32.
