Yeah, that’s a fair argument. That said, it’s a bit of a shame, though, considering we at least have a decent amount of information on the E-25 and possible evidence that a few may have been built.
Honestly, though, I don’t see the issue with adding in paper vehicles; I mean, WT, at the end of the day, is a game, and more content is always acceptable for the longevity of the game. I also don’t really buy into the nonsensical argument that by adding in paper vehicles, WT turns into WoT 2.0. We have a long way to go before we reach that mark, and adding some historic designs doesn’t change that fact. That said, you do make a point about the lack of info, but I’d wager you could get a decent estimate of performance values from what information we have. Just my two cents though
Honestly, yes! That said, the Tiger II 10.5 probably shouldn’t be brought back, as it was a rejected design proposal that had no chance of working and was barely designed. Aside from that, the Panther II in comparison, would need its schmalturm replaced by the Turm Panther 2 (schmale Blendenausführung) and its gun replaced by the standard 7.5. Coelion would also be nice to bring back as a gap filler plus there’s more evidence that existed than there is that the Ostwind II existed.
I disagree. It’s the current E-100 with its Maus I turret that’s in what-if fantasy territory, because the the original Maus turret would be too heavy for it. Which is unfortunate since the hull of the E-100 is a very accurate modeling job.
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.
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.
