Any point in grinding for the T110E5 now?

With the stats published today for the new tier 10 meds, I wonder if there's any point in grinding for the T110E5 now? The new Patton will have a 268 pen gun with 2925 DPM compared to the T110E5's gun which has only 2400 DPM.
Right now I'm playing the M103 and I really like it, and even though I knew the new T10 meds are coming, I thought they'd just have better mobility, DPM and armor, but not penetration. But now, I don't see what's the point in playing the T110E5 now since I'll be worse in pretty much every aspect other than armor compared to the new Patton, and armor won't play such a big role when you have a 268 pen gun with awesome mobility.
I already have everything researched on the Patton, but sold it to buy the T34 before it went premium, so I only need the money to buy the Patton and accumulate the 180-200k exp that the new Patton will probably cost.
Is there anything I'm missing? Should I abandon my grind in the M103 and concentrate on buying the Patton and prepare for the new one?

What? You sold your Patton? For shame, son.
I had to, otherwise I wouldn't have had enough money to get the T34 before it went premium, but then I got bored and left the game for about two months.

As far as I know pretty much all tier 9&10 tanks will be rebalanced, and the stats of the patton may change. Also, the T110E5 has some armor, I don't expect the M48 to have any.

1. Stats of X tier meds are not final. You should have seen penetration of some French tanks in first public test.... Six tier heavy had better pen then IX tier meds.
2. X tier heavys will be rebalanced too. T110 can have big advantage in HP. Also T110 has much better armor then M48
3. X tier meds, are X tier, so they shall be powerful like X tier heavys, but in other way.

Mediums of a set tier should be able to penetrate the heavies of their tier. Directly head on it might be difficult or crazy and I don't see people doing that now. As a heavy you'll still have the gun that hits harder more armour and more HP.
From the way some people are panicking over this, it's like they're the only people in their team, and they drive their heavies into the open on every map and sit in a field waiting for mediums to drive towards them.
I was always under the impression that heavies use cover when reloading and avoid open spaces. They also have support of their team. It's a very brave or foolish medium who takes a heavy head on.

One or two random T10 meds in random battle might not be too bad. But three in platoon? Or 15 in tank company? If meds have better DPM than heavies, they move much better and heavies armour is useless in practice, then what use there is for T10 heavies in coordinated battle?

They do exactly that! - and that's why there is so much arty hate: most heavy players don't know how to use there own tanks.

remember, this are all prelimenary stats and will probably change.
Imo this high pen guns are not something that will stay. Personaly i would implement tier 10 meds so they are more mobile, have better acceleration, more hp and more DPS (maybe even higher alphas, but not necesery) over tier 9 smaller brothers. Adding more protection is debatable.

You should really go for the tank you wanna play. I avoid heavies cause I don't like to crawl around. I don't expect T10 heavies to be penetrated that easily so they will have a role, especially in battles with about 10 tanks being tier 9 and below. As for Patton, I expect much better turret armor than M46 has and a bit better hull armor, but still very destructible, much more so than T110.

Well if meds have high penetration guns, and heavy's armor becomes relative, then i suppose we can expect heavies to have more HP.
Even if a med has 270 penetration, good RoF, good mobility etc, it still doesnt make it superior over a heavy tank that has 1000-2000 more hp, for example. With less than 200 armor (i think none of the new med 10s has more than 200 armor with slope bonus counted) all current tier 10 tanks can penetrate them frontally, so even with something like a 1000 HP advantage over meds, heavies will still retain some advantage?
Ofc if they dont reduce the ridiculously stupidly high amount of module damage, then no matter how much HP heavies get, they will be roflstopmed by meds...
