Hi all, I'm about to drop big $$, no turning back. I can go the route of the VK3001(P) and end at the Maus, or buy the VK3601(H) ending at the  E-100. Now, time requirements mean i'll prolly NEVER top out, but just for pondering's sake which direction do you all like?

The Tiger (H) is an absolute amazing tank, as also stated by Rypper. A lot of players play the tank like it is an IS...which it is not, so it gets a ton of bad rep for players not using it correctly.

I would recommend the E-100 route only because the 3601 is one of the most fun tanks in game and you can keep it and grind credits to purchase higher tiers as time permits.  

I do not own above the Tiger, but read much about this as I'm grinding it now too.  The Tiger II, E-75 are supposed to be among the top favorites to drive too.  Not to mention the E-100 which seems to be very popular in Clan Wars or more serious battles.

I've heard people complain about the Tiger before the last path or two but since then I hear people say it's great.  

Everyone has their own personal choice though so good luck to you.

Go E-100 route.  If you get bored, get the Tiger P as well, it's a fantastic tank.

- I think the Tiger II is the best tier 8 heavy

- If you master the Tiger II, you'll stomp people with the E-75

- E-100 is fun to drive and has a good combination of armor and a giant cannon.

I'm out Tiger II and almost to the E-75, the Tiger was fun... you just gotta learn that it is more of a support tank in this game, if you brawl, like with any other German tanks (except the E-75 I hear :P) you'll get pwned, but if you snipe or support more rather... You will see how this beast shines :)... I don't have it anymore though :( Wasn't using it anymore, and I didn't need it really... The Tiger II, if you like to go up close and personal, but not full on brawlin'... you'll love LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this tank lol... be careful when you're stock because then you are rather slow and fragile turret too, and if you like the KT...then, from what I've hear, you'll love the E-75 even more, as it is something like a KT on steroids, especially when elite :P.... E-100, people don't talk much about it, but I have a friend of mine who loves it and can pwn in it... So I look forward to it ^_^... Good luck grinding to you all!

Edit: Forgot to mention that only do close up and personal shooting when your elite... even then, always see if you will do better sniping :P Sniping is always priority with German Tanks, but if they need you to the front, play good, and you will succeed!

As someone who is grinding the VK4502P Ausf B and is only on the Tiger in the E-100 line, I can say that while harder I think the Maus line will be more rewarding considering that the end is the god of the tanks the Mighty Maus. But the tanks on Maus I will sum teem up

Tiger P- Love it!!! Probably one of my favorite tanks in the game and a keeper for life.
Hull armor of a Maus and the always trusty and awesome 88mm L71

VK4502P Ausf A- Hate is not even close to how I feel about this awful tank. The only advantage this thing has is speed and in a heavy I don't care about speed, I want alot of armor which this awful thing does not have.

Vk4502P Ausf B- The E-75 may be a better tank, but this odd looking and suprisingly small little beast is quite deadly and has great armor and a good (if sometimes eratic gun).

:lol: That is pretty funny and it does sum it all up but lol... Ausf. A is just another crappy tank that is always on the dawn of a beast tank :P


Examples? M3 Lee -> M4 Sherman, Jagdpanzer IV -> Jagdpanther, T-28/A-20 -> KV/T-34, KV-1S (trust me, it's bad, to me anyways) -> IS... Idk anymore lol, but I think that kinda suffices it, Tiger is not bad, just not used properly by most ppl lol... hey, Pure Bred German Tankers anyone? B) I am now lol, used to experiment with tanks though <_< Not the best or wisest thing I've done lol

Edit: Sorry I lied to you guys and myself :( I'm not a pure German Tanker, I got the AMX 13 75 in mi garaje :( Muy bien, pero horrible armor  :Smile-hiding: Como esta es E-75? lol
Sorry taking Spanish one B) Very good tank (AMX 13 75), but horrible armor, How's the E-75 btw?
Jeez, I'm a fast typer, but I'm making epic typos XD

Out of curiosity which is the better T10 E-100 or Maus?  I know the route to the E-100 is better, but the end tank is what I'm curious about.

it depends. if you want to have a tank that- with the right supporting tanks, can not only establish a beach head on a flank, but be able to hold off any attackers, the Maus is more your style of play. The E-100 is more of a mobile armoured Howitzer platform with its 150mm gun and lack of accuracy. The long reload time and low penetraiton of AP rounds on the E-100 makes the tank unable to completely hold off against rival tiers, but makes it a big, bad, heavy(second heavies tank in the game) bully to Tier 7 tanks and lower.

I personally chose the E series myself because it was the new line of tanks brought out, and I did not want to have to go and play the Ausf.A, then the B to get to the Maus. The A was a nice idea, but the gun is lacking for it to do much other than hunt mediums, and the B has a rear mounted turret. While rear mounting was more practical for field battles in the real world, having a rear mounted turret in this game makes you have to totally change your play style, as peek- a- boo tactics do not work so well, especially on city maps
