it must shoot magical unicorn shit if it has better performance then. (or proper fucking APDS shells)
because the gun barrel length is the same, meaning shell velocity is the same.
more over the Ausf B is wargamging going derptastic and "lets give the L7 to a german tank!"
but then, the M68 on the patton is excactly the same gun (slightly different breech design) and i am honestly expecting massive performance differences between them.
I'm grinning from ear to ear now looking at those pictures. I'm not sure if its because they all seem rather retarded or because I am going to enjoy driving all those tracked bunkers for people with a tiny tiny penis.(Yes I that means me too!)
Either way hilarious. Good thing I already have 200k saved on my Patton.
Overlord posted a (completely made up by WG) blueprint for E50 Ausf M. Rear placed drivebox. I don't know should I go fuck yeah or curse the devious bastards.
Edit. Here's the BP

Hmm... does upper front look to be more sloped than normal E50 or is it just visual because of no tracks in some schematics?

Damage of the Tiger II's 10.5 L/52 and the E-50's is different, which means they fire different ammo. Barrel length is not the sole determinant of shell velocity. It's the easiest to change, certainly, but weight of the projectile and quality/amount of propellant are both important as well.Originally Posted by Liare
Plus, it's a video game, they can give it whatever values they want.
Also, willing to bet E-100 TD 17cm gun will have <250mm pen. And 0.5 accuracy.
and i am expecting a marginal difference, certainly not enough to make it better than barely competitive.Damage of the Tiger II's 10.5 L/52 and the E-50's is different, which means they fire different ammo.

it's already hilariously disadvantaged compared to what it's going to face off against, the T-62 ? Patton ? both of those will be half the height or less, the Centurion will ride about as low and holy cow, imagine what the chieftain is going to do to these tanks if it turns out to be the British tier 10.
enough frontal armour to make the Maus look like a lol-tractor, enough mobility to keep up with a T-54 and a 120mm gun ?!?
Unconfirmed stats from when it was a tier 9.
HP - 2000
Armor - 300mm frontal (Casemate/Upper superstructure), 200mm frontal(Upper hull) Lower hull unknown, , 180mm Side + 55mm side skirt, 150mm Rear
Armament - 170mm PaK 44 (Confirmed by developers)
Rounds Per Minute : 2.6
Accuracy(100m) : .40
Penetration (AP,APCR,HE): 281 / 355 / 88
Damage (AP,APCR,HE) : 950 / 950 / 1200
Please not that Chieftain is just my (and a lot of other folks) wishful thinking.
i know, i am not expecting it because quite frankly the tank would be so strong nothing else could compete with it.
i am expecting another late mark Centurion myself.
Expecting current tier 9's get nerfed down. Overlord stated following on forums in response to "OMG MY TIER 10 HEAVY WILL BE IN DANGER!!111":

There will be some serious rebalancing upon the introduction of these vehicles.View PostBlack_Gold_Saw, on 11 June 2012 - 05:04 PM, said:
This is nice but, tier 9 meds and TD's are so affective against tier 10 heavy's.
Wont this upgrade to tier 10 a little overpowerd.
AND can we expect tier 11/12/13 heavy tanks??.
STUG E-100 COME TO ME
WE MUST DERP ALL THE THINGS¨
HNGGGG
I think they said that they don't think re-balancing T9 meds and TDs will be needed. What they are talking about is buffing T10 heavies.
This makes me concerned for the future of all tier 9s.
Don't forget :HE: man.
so batchat owners get a free t10, something else for me to grind for :9
Fat chance as that'll make the tier 10's utterly incompatible with tier 9's in the same game. The tier 9-10 heavy or 8-9 med/td gap is already pretty big relative to lower tier steps.
Now I have thought about it I am rather sad. I'd finally gotten the crew on my Patton close to where I'd want it (3rd secondary 60%) only now to face the choice of moving them up or not or move up all crews from E8 till patton one step. :/

Well, fuck it. More tanks. More re-balancing. No doubt more 'strong Russian wood'. I DO hope the Centurion is as good as it should be, just so I can beat the shit out of all the T-59 and T-54's in the game. If the Brits get the Chieftain? Holy balls will that be OP
Fuck, looks like I'm going have to buy the Lorraine and grind it up soon.
I won't be surprised if the t9 meds will be nerfed - they have been balanced with the t10 heavies in mind and they won't need to do that much after the t10 meds are introduced.
WoT: Area
I just hope that after they will get their t9 heavy MM weight reduced back to regular medium again as well.
What is this French horse hooey. I might have to grind for a Lorraine just to keep my 13 90?
Why can't they move up the Lorraine and Batchat, and add the AMX 13 105 as the Tier 8? Or if they do move up the 13 90 at least give me the 105 as an extra gun option, because MM.
