Stats speculation for the monster 183mm gun.

Speaking of large shells, any idea on how many shells it holds? I doubt it'll be that fun if you only hold 12 shells.

Well the Jagdpanzer E-100 is gigantic and can "only" hold 25 shells in total. So judging by the size I think we can expect a bit less.

Well 12 or something shells should actually be enough regarding the most likely abysmal rate of fire. My average shots fired per game in my Jagdpanzer E-100 is like 4-5, so as long as you can conserve your shots and fire at high priority targets you should be fine.

Not to mention the higher average damage per shot with a 183 mm gun will also grant you a better damage output per shot fired.

stats close to russian T8 arty gun, except with sniper mode instead of arty view. That;s what I want.

180 mm B-1-P
Damage 1700/1100/1700 HP
Penetration 102/360/102 mm
RoF 2.02 r/m
Dispersion 0.42 m
Aim time 6.3s

Maybe lower aim time a bit, increase dispersion. These more like the KV-2 152mm.

so with the stats like that will it get AP and hesh? i believe hesh was its standard ammo so perhapse AP could be it's gold round something like Hesh 1800 damage 240 pen/ AP 1150 damage 360 pen :)

I believe the 183 was intended only to fire only hesh.

no crew member or module will be safe from a 183mm HESH round. once HESH mechanics have been reworked i can see this being a very dangerous TD, you will have the ability to completely render the combat effectivness of any tank useless with 1 shot that is unless it has a spall line. but this thing will be the target of everything once spotted and by the looks of things, it has no chance to stand up to such punishment with the low armour figures that have been floating around.

This should be the most devastating in game tank ever :Smile_glasses:

Looking forward to the (now confirmed) shift of the 215b to TD tree and it getting given a 183mm monster gun. With mobility hopefully it'll be the beast I had hoped the JgE100 would be.

Now to grind the 215b...

Chieftain will take the 215b's tier X heavy slot.

finally! this can only be good news for us, if they keep the armour stats but give it the 183 and limited traverse and a lower mobility ratio then it would suit well for the T10 TD spot. i just need to start grinding as much as i can before this happens.

^Sorry, Storm (one of the most authoritative sources) later said that it's not true. He says he doesn't know who got the idea.

My guess is that it'll deal more damage than the jpz e-100's gun. But the turret and hull armour won't be that great.

That's not how you write "tier 10 KV-2"

Compared to the JgpzE100 (and many TDs), it's mobile.
