Ok lets work these magic numbers that everyone is worried about. Now lets keep in mind that it takes the Waffenträger auf E 100 almost 1 minute to reload. With that in mind lets check some numbers.
The tier 10s I own:
Tank DPM Pen(all gold round) Rounds/ min
E 100 2250 334 mm 3 = 1 round every 20 seconds
T110E5 2400 340 mm 6 = 1 round every 10 seconds
T 57 Heavy 3097 340 mm 4 = 1 round every 2 seconds with a 25 second reload for 33 seconds total. another 4 rounds in 8 seconds so that is 8 rounds in 1 minute
T110E4 2308 375 mm 3.08 = 1 round every 19.48 seconds
IS7 2146 303 mm 4.38 = 1 round every 13.69 seconds
Waffenträger auf E 100 2229.5 311 mm 4.55 = 1 round every 13.18 seconds, reload for 1 minute, and then another 4 rounds. so actually it is 4.55 rounds per 2 minutes.
So everyone feared this TD with the lowest damage per reload time and the second lowest pen? yes I know the tank put out 2229 average DPM If they all penned and did 490 damage within 2 minutes of game start and first tank shot. But it took 1 minute to load at start of game, At 4.55 rounds a minute that would equal 1 round every 13 seconds. Well first round in 1 minute and 13 seconds then 3 rounds every 13 seconds, reload for 1 minute and repeat. Every tier 10 I own except the IS 7 has more damage potential than the Waffenträger auf E 100. then there is the armor. Hull Armor 80/50/40, Turret Armor 20/10/8 it is almost a Hellcat with a bigger gun.
