Saying it’s a product of the past is an excuse. Gaijin recently equipped the MiG-29G with R-27ER, the YAK-141 with IRIS-T, and added the F-16AJ, which is even less feasible than the ‘Maus 2 turm E-100’, simply for Japan.
Secondary, West Germany never used the AIM-9J missile, but according to Gaijin, they give the AIM-9J to F-4F and F-104G because the AIM-9L was overbalanced And it was paid just because it was equippable
As a side note, ostwind2 was replaced with FlakPanzer 341 even though it had less data than FlakPanzer 341, simply because ‘Fkpz 341’s turret just a mockup’.
+1 as event tanks or premium event tank for the war thunder anniversary !
i hope this tank make it.
E-100 we have in the game have turret could not even handle the hull and it’s looked behind tournaments and 2000 Gajins coins.
M6A2E1 this extra 50mm armor was planned to be added but never built but gajin added the extra 50mm armor to make it balanced and playable.
And T-80B with thermals which never had.
and
and F-4F early have Aim 9J which was never fitted to the early version.
i see no issue adding different shape turret to the E-100 which was the really turret for E-100 and we already have the gun and hull ready.
balance is not an issue they could make br decompression to 13.7 Br and move these tanks in br.
and also the E-100 we have in the game locked behind 2k Euros which only wealthy and skin creates can buy them and tournaments are the worst and the top 1 team can get the E-100 which is bs !
i played the E-100 tournaments and got Decal from getting the top 10 team only a decal and some GE.
it’s win win for everyone E-100 owner will be happier they will get Extra E-100 they could sell or keep and Gajin will make more money and players will have Chance to play with E-100 also this E-100 is more realistic.
It would be great if current E-100 would be renamed to Tiger Maus (like it should be named), and we could get real E-100. This still wouldn’t be entirely historically accurate but well we already have vehicles that are combinations of multiple vehicles… sadly.
technically since there was an unfinished prototype hull for the E-100, we can have both the Tiger Maus (which wouldve used the hull) and the E-100 (which, yep, used exactly the same hull) and still be relatively historically accurate according to gaijins standards
Yes from me, but Gaijin won’t add it probably due to how much money they make when the 2000 dollar original tank sells. Should be added tho, more realistic design.
But hasn’t the E-100 supply dried up, with no new stock being injected into the market? Even introducing this version in the tech tree would make marginally more money from people GE’ing it, and much more if it comes in an event with buyable stages.
