I just found out that it is getting a buff, what do you think of this?

[__The_Dude_30__]

Bushka thinks it is the worst tier X tank. Definitely a very much needed buff.

It's going to be amazing

 

An E3 that has the gun arc of a 268, snapshots like an M103 and goes 35 km.h is going to be downright terrifying

 

I found the biggest issue with E3 was that you had to sit still and aim for quite a bit before having a reasonable chance of hitting anything due to the poor gun depression, which further multiplied the issues of low speed, but with the gun handling E3 is going to be scary good

Bushka's video was literally just footage of him overextending way past his team and driving into crossfires, and him complaining about it.

 

He couldn't have survived the situations he put himself into, even in a med tank, let alone E3. He also constantly said the cupola was a weakspot, and I just shook my head at that. Spoiler alert, E3 cupola is not a weakspot, and is actually more of an advantage. You have to hit a very small part of it on the lower half with at least 340 HEAT pen, and you need to high roll on the penetration roll to actually pen. No one ever pens that cupola except tier X TDs with gold, but people waste their shells on it anyway which lets E3 leisurely dispose of them while they reload.

 

I would say E3 is better than 263 and Grille (when compared only to tier X TDs) as things currently stand, and after the buff, I'd put it above 183 and JPE-100 as well, and maybe even E4

It'll make it a slightly more versatile TD, and that's on top of the strongest frontal armor in game. TDs will be further pushed into controlling tier 10 and it may even turn out to be a good counter to the DeathStar.

[Shadow__Lugia]

Definetly the counter to the Death Star now. I didn’t mind it before the buff, but now, it’ll be very nice.

 

yep, just took it out for a spin now, and even now, it’s a counter to the Death Star. Point blank, he tried to HE me, I took 2 damage, and he killed himself from like 400 hp lol

As an E3 owner, this makes me very happy. Everytime it's a 1 vs 2+ situation, the match always ends in me getting circled for days with my futile attempt to cut off my enemies at a choke point. It's a very much needed buff. I'd say the reverse speed should be -15kph instead of -10kph.

[seal7862_FA]

Much excited. Thing is gonna be beast. I think it’s trash now, but for different reasons that say, Bushka.

Well of course its better than the Grille.

I do think the grille is the worst tier ten td, if anyone has any arguments I would love to here them

[Duke_87]

Any tank as mobile as the grille can't be all bad...

you are incorrect the thing won’t out run a shell, anyway it’s armor is the worst in tier ten so any HE round will pen and if is a derp gun the HE will most likely do 1000 damage or so, that means it’s a two shot.

[SanguinaryDan]

That driver’s hatch weak spot is still there and still quite exploitable. I caught an E3 on that hatch with my Jageroo’s HE yesterday for 1,000. It forced him to back off and turn his right front away from me. Made life much easier for our flanking T62 who finished him off. Though to be fair his shot had also hit and his friendly pair of Grilles finished me off soon after. 

 

Doesn’t mean I’m not going to actually give this tank a try. I just have to decide if I want to suffer through the Doom Turtle (16 kph?   ) or wait till I’ve got 3 gazillion Free XP again.
