A more accesible E-100 would certainly be very, very nice, but we already have the Maus as a German TT superheavy. Adding this E-100 would just make the Maus even more outdated then it already is in every regard save historical (in)famy

i know they look similar but the MAUS is no way outdated its like the best 7.7 heavy but only at range 312mm APHE is insane and its armors good to

I’d honestly say both the IS-4M and T32E1 are better actually. And I say that as someone who has both the Maus and the IS-4M, and the 7.3 T32. The Maus just suffers from a massive shot-trap on the turret that no other superheavy has around that br.
(also I stick with the 12.8cm shells instead of the 8.8cm APHEDS, because 700+ grams of filler is so yummy)

IS4Ms muzzle and and massive reload hamper it a lot and the T32E1 has good armor frontally but is worse side on compared to both the is4m and the Maus
maus only flaw is its mobility as its lathargic its by far best 7.7 heavy as in range combat its a beast shot traps ive found to be rare and if your downtiered to 6.7 only thing that can harm you really if you play right is heat monsters

If it’s the turret with the 80mm sides idk. The Maus still Mogs. Especially with that 13mph reverse speed.

At least the 105mm l/68 cannon on the Tiger 2 105mm is actually complete, so we can’t say it’s a completely fake tank. However, the rangefinder should be removed.

i don’t think the 105 tiger need to changed or anything anymore. it’s fake anyways and can’t be obtained.

Honestly? I dig it. Something like this that we can have as an occasional event vehicle sounds like a good way to add some funny 7.7 German superheavies. Fuckin’ send er bud.

I don’t understand why so many people want it in the form of an event. Most people didn’t get the last E100. But this time, you still want it to appear in the form of activities, is to hope that future players can not get it? Why so selfish?

They couldn’t balance the Maus which is basically an event, so there is no chance of having this as a techtree.

In fact, the mouse and E100 should be placed at 8.0, and the current vehicles above 8.0 should be readjusted again, up to 13.7. This will alleviate the imbalance between 8.0 and 10.7

Back in December, I requested for some documents to be digitised on the German Bundesarchiv invenio. I requested 6 documents with 4/6 of them being on the Maus. They also included stuff on the E 100 in these documents which is pretty cool. No drawings as it’s all notes on development of the vehicles from meetings and correspondence between other companies/individuals involved and German ministries from Krupp’s documentation.
Excerpt from one of the pages from RH 8/2850 includes mention of the E 100 turret, with it being 35 tons, has a 12.8cm gun with the 7.5cm being placed above it, sloped front plate with 200mm of armour on the front, 80mm on the sides, 200mm on the rear, and 40mm roof. It’s then stated that the only known difference between the E 100 turret and drawing Bz 3269 (drawing for the Maus II turret) is the thickness of the armour.
These details were already known from secondary sources on the E 100, but it’s nonetheless cool to finally have access to some of the primary sourcing.

oh that’s cool.
so to my understanding then, is that the turret currently on the E-100 in game would be over-weight by 20 tonnes?
Just under 20, the E 100 in game uses the standard Maus I turret at 51.5 tons, even though a lighter turret was designed and selected for it which is 35 tons as my post above. It would be 123.5 tons instead of the 140 tons.

Even Maus II turret would be better to have than Maus I. Tho best option is to have turret intended for E-100.
Imo current E-100 should be renamed to Tiger Maus and suspension changed to what it should be. I don’t think that many owners would be angry with this, my friend for example wouldn’t care. Not to mention that most owners either do not play the game anymore and chunk of them are banned (I wont explain why in topics).
they already have there own E-100 i don’t support the remodel of the E-100.
this E-100 should be a event E-100 in my opinion so all players have chance of getting it ! they ( they will get another E-100).
the E-100 tournaments is so bad experiences and have so many very mean people and players won’t have chance at all.
I would want all tanks to be as close to what they should be as possible but nvm.
Yeah first tournament was terrible and later ones were dominated by only the best players.
Maybe a dreams come true?
