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.

also we have these R2Y2 never built.
and
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.

are we really calling physically existing, but unfinished due to the end of the war, tanks “paper tanks” now?

isint the E-100 already in game as a extremely rare veichal? (EDIT: its 8:00am don’t comment on my bad spelling)
Yes, but incorrectly (more or less) represented with simply a Maus Turret, which IRL was too heavy. This is with its intended turret.

Be a good sport an forward it. Leave it up to the devs to decide.
The player base demands it anyhow, and we’d love for the devs to at least look at it.
