It is safe 2 say that these weapons were comparable. Also King Tiger frontal armour was 100mm IRL, not ******* 180mm (that was the turret only).
Su-100 should have far higher penetration stats than it has now.

Yes but in MoW the King tigers AP round counts as a APCR round. Since the max penetration of the KT is 233 at 10m.
So the King tiger would still have higher penetration then the SU-100.
Also that fact that the SU-100 got 180mm penetration at 1000m, its not guarenteed its true. It might but not guarenteed.
Yes Wiki says so but, that doesnt prove anything.
I have come across other penetration values for the SU-100 that are lower. Maybe thats why the SU-100s gun is what it is in MoW.
But you have gotten it all wrong about the King tigers armor. Yes it only got 180mm on its turret. But the frontal armor is still 150mm, not to mention its sloped.
If the King Tiger only had 100mm frontal armor and had the weight of almost 70 tones it would had been kinda useless.
