At tier X the E-100 is first seen by the new players as a walking wall with a gun that hits hard. It's first impression is so strong, that more often than you think new players reclaim that the tank is broken. However the E-100 is not that good as the players think it is. How good is it?
Gun:
It's the only tier X heavy tank with a 150 mm gun. Wich seems amazing, except for it has one of the lowest dpm's off the game, only better than is7 and maus dpm's, also it's the most unaccurate gun, and worst disperssion. Even with it's 640 alpha damage, the gun is one of the worst at tier X
Armor:
With a nice hull armor (200/120/150). The E-100 looks like thought nut to crack, the front armor is strong and well angled, the side armor has extra spaced armor making HEAT shells useless. However, the low part of the frontal armor is flat, huge and weak, making it a huge weakspot. Also the turret seems strong (250/150/150) but it's frontal armor is really flat and the gun mantlet is tiny, so the turret is easily pen by all gold shells he can meet, EVEN TIER 9 GUNS (the picture shows E100's turret face a WZ-111 mod 1-4, a tier 9 heavy tank). So E-100 has the worst turret of any tier x heavy tank (autoloaders included). Still if the E100 know how to angle like in the picture, the armor can be amazing. The problem is that at any point he will need to fire, and an experienced player will wait for him to fire and then he will pen the turret like butter.
Movility:
With a top speed limit of 30 km/h and a really bad engine The E-100 is one of the slowest tanks at tier X just after the maus. It's speed rotation is too bad, making fast tanks like a bat-chatillon and leopard 1 a Living nigthmare. However it has good ground resistances, and thats enough to reach it's top speed at almost any environment.
Playstile:
A Heavy Tank designed for holding a position, the E-100 is really good at facing tanks face to face, with him in a perfect sidescrape, he must wait for the ennemy to shot (if the sidescraping is perfectly done, it will bounce) and then return the shot, the turret must be angled all the time to avoid gold shells. When flanked the tank can struggle to fight back. He must avoid open field at all cost, I dont recommend to begin a push on this tank.
Difficulty: Advanced
Gun: 2.5/5
Armor: 3.5/5
Movility: 2/5
Pros: good alpha damage, good side armor, spaced armor,
Weakness: Huge Weakspots in the armor, gold shells magnet, bad rotation, bad dpm bad accuracy
Conclusion:
Even with all the weakness it has, the E-100 can perform really well in the nice scenario, if he's facing tank in front of him, he can easily win. But he must sidescrape perfectly and every shot he fires must pen the ennemy, he must know how to avoid getting flanked, and also to be patient. Is the hardest heavy tank to use, but when used properly, is a beast.
