The Maus Tank's Rare Brother

@Ellie Williams it was originally going to have the Maus turret but they found out it would have done the aforementioned suspension braking so they made a new lighter turret which Is the more historical one and the wot ones

I think the main reason why Gaijin went with the Maus turret for the E-100, since (l think it was in a documentary about the Maus). The germans did have a E-100 hull and used a wooden Maus turret on it. So when the Russians found them (Maus and E-100), both had same turret. Even though we got blueprints with different turret for it.

[@commissarfox]

I have held for a long time that playing a tank whose armor works, like the Maus, Jumbo, or Black Prince, makes enemy players just go straight stupid mode. They forget how to aim, where to shoot, positioning, they just want you dead so bad they look stupid and also kill themselves on you. It's great fun.

[@CaptainScorchMane]

I agree. The amount of times that I've practically rerouted entire enemy teams JUST to come and kill me because my vehicle happens to be armoured as Hell is considerable. When people's shells start bouncing, they start getting tilted. Try playing a hull-down Chieftain Mk.10, sometime. EVERYTHING bounces. You'll have the entire enemy team dumping on you within half a match.

[@PigEqualsBakon]

@@CaptainScorchMane I like to use the Porsche Tiger, the 5.7 one. People aim dead center on the hull not realizing it has 200mm or armor. They also forget about the weak spot that is the hull corners, or the fact the turret face has like, 21 extra mm of armor compared to the regular tiger. The whole "reverse top speed same as drive top speed" throws people through a loop too. No mr 76 Jumbo, your solid shot wont punch through my hull, try again next life. No mr pershing, i angled my hull slightly and i angled a bit. try again next time. Easily my fav tank. just drive straight towards the enemy.

Repair costs honestly make this game so much less fun and forces you to play the same tanks the entire time. Especially when SL rewards aren’t adjusted to repair costs or even anywhere near fair. Russian top tier is 1.6 base reward, whereas UK top tier is 1.3-1.0 despite having higher repair costs across the board. And lord forbid you play israel, merkava mk4d has a .8 base reward and costs like 8k to repair. The game requires you to be spookston or better if you want any chance at not having to pay money or go back to lower BRs just to have enough for repairs.

My only distinct memory of facing an E-100 was when I was a terrified near-stock M47 Patton II without HEATFS and solely armed with M82, and in my pants-shitting fear of coming face-to-face with one, managed to aim for the 128mm barrel, but somehow get the shot straight down the gun tube as the guy was aiming at me (back when that was a more common thing to manage), and the blast from the explosive filler going off in his gun breech was enough to kill his last replacement gunner.

The E-100 version was to have the turret side armor substantially reduced to make it light enough for the E-100 hull to mount. Otherwise they were identical.
