I just ripped my equipment/150mm off of my E100 to sell for credits. The E75 gave up its 128mm gun to fit on the E100 so I could sell said 150mm. Now my E75/E100 crews are playing Skat while drinking Schnaps in a dirty old tank hangar.

I just can't do it anymore... I'm a good/decent driver. I do everything I'm supposed to do. I angle my best to protect my lower plates. I use server reticule and give it that one extra magical second to aim. I try my best to scoot from cover to cover and watch out for my teammates while dodging artillery and incoming shells from invisible tanks.

But I just can't do it anymore... Our guns are inferior. Our armor is inferior. Our mobility is inferior. Anyone can take a cursory glance at the numbers and sort of understand what the situation is. One could even put the effort to look into the soft/hidden stats like camo or even the XP requirements compared to other nations.

I'm so jaded from patch after patch of nerfs and stealth "changes" that I've just come to accept that It's time to move on to something else. It just isn't fun anymore. You can only take so many front hull/turret penetrations, engine/transmission fires, HEAT/AP rounds that bounce off Russian side armor, and tanks swarming you like a pack of wolves attacking some sick Moose trying to not slip in its own feces...

This is mostly for high tiers mind you. I have fun driving about in my 3601H or PzIV or Marder II if MM treats me decently.

I would hope that just go off the original design specifications as the original plans exist. There were several Turrets under production in 1945 and at least 3 (yes 3) hulls built (1 never left the factory but was nearly complete, one was desroyed and the other is in Kubinka.
It would seem that to quote myself there were more than three hulls built...
Here is another three and some more turrets...

these are good pictures and give a great idea of the size of the tank and the thicknesses of the armor plates involved in their construction.
I mean seriously...look at the back armor on the turret!

Well at least the sub-par German endgame TDs will be getting an upgrade.

YEAH!!!! 170mm!!!!!!!

In all seriousness, the Jagd E-100 will probably be the reason why WG will never put the 170mm on the E-100, and their way of fixing the complaining of the history buffs about the lack of said gun on said tank.
