I'm currently driving PZ4 with derp gun. I loaded 5 gold shells (for silver ofc) so i can surprise ISs, Tigers, KVs etc. Battles are fun, fast, you always earn cred's (don't have premium). It's funny

stupid change? E-75s transmission has always been in the front, as with all German tanks, only 1 or 2 tanks in the game can pen its front armor, and even they will bounce half their shells, so it does need some kind of weakness to make up for that.

[FlashFrozen]

The game when it intro-ed the E series modeled the e-50, e-75 with rear transmissions the E100 was solely the only one in the series with a frontal transmission, they changed that in a patch so the whole line became frontal-ed

It was much easier relatively to fight with a rear transmission I would know, you rarely ever had to worry about fires, lol.

I argue though a fair bit of tanks can pen the e75, anything above 200+ pen can go through the front if the e75 isn't angled, otherwise your better off shooting at its hatch.
Imo, the harder tanks to fight frontally are the Is4/Is7,T110e3, Obj 263, and a good maus. The rest aren't terribly tough.

[ValkyriaL]

well, if the E75's front is angled normally, any tank will have huge problems with it. On another note, IS-4 isn't that hard actually, it used to be a T9 remember?, its front armor is about as hard to pen as that of the king tiger, IS-7 is a nerve wrecker to fight, only place to shot is the bottom plate, which is fairly easy to pen with a T8-T9 tank, T110E3 --> shot the turret next to the gun mantlet, 100% pen, the obj is also really hard to shot, you need to get lucky with that one, Maus is really easy to pen as well, unless the dude driving it knows what he is doing.

[FlashFrozen]

Lol, the is4 UFP at 30 degs side angle is as tough as the E75 ufp flat on, that's pretty tough if you ask me, tier 9 or tier 10.
Not to mention it has a superior turret armor wise,

Is7 used to have a LFP that was STRONGER than the e100 lfp, but that's nerfed now.

The 110E3 tumor, IS NOT, I repeat, IS not a weakspot, it is as armored as most other tanks on their strong parts. It has bounced, and consistently bounces alot of guns, Even my JPZ100 bounces against the tumor,

Mauses are still not terribly tough, unless your in a german tank youself,

OH the E3, i meant the E4 (<--Fail), yeah i don't even bother shooting the E3 or T95 frontally, waste of ammo.

as Flash said it wasnt...i remember times when it was still in the rear both in E75 and 50 and they were much more enjoyable....ive seen plenty of E75s penned right through frontal plate by the new US and ruskie guns and then set on fire with their engine dead....all you need is to hit just above or below the seem between UFP and LFP  yeah angling does help but 270mm pen guns might still go through the LFP and do something nasty to your engine....
the problem is that in real life it was mostly impossible to hit that part of the tank thats why it not armored as much as the rest of the front.....
as for IS4 it doesnt have its drivers hatch weakspot anymore so unless he angles himself in a bad way or youve got 270mm pen gun it might be rather hard nut to crack
as far as im concerned most german tanks have been shafted if they came close to russian ones i still love my E50 though

Obviously you dont pack gold rounds. 95 is butter to most of the newer tier 10 guns and the E3 has the soft lower hull.

If you want real lols try a tier 8 premium with preferential MM. I have a 80% w/r in my IS6 right now just from pub matches

[ValkyriaL]

Buying gold ammo is a sin, and even they can bounce.

[johngalt]

I run straight gold through my type 59 and still have a net profit average of 30,000 silver per game. (If you don't know, you can now buy gold ammo with credits i.e. its no longer exclusively gold) and I picked up 45,000 gold from when I lead my clan battles on a hard camp of 16,000 gold/day. I have plrenty of gold to spend on worthless things like Isreali flags for my German tanks and Taiwanese flags on my Chinese tanks.

You can drive inside the bunker as well, very good hiding spot if your team is losing.

[arcibalde]

What!

You didn't know that t-95 can fly? And that t 50-2 can jump?
