What do you think of the E-50?

Easier to kill than the Panther 2.

Great. Dont nerf it. And finally fix the goddam M46 and add M48
Then nobody will ever complain about the T54 anymore

I love it. Faster, turns faster (than P2), has a great armor. And looks badass. Just don't nerf it. But look at the mudguards please, they have the same bug as maus used to have.

<Cant say anything good about it, i see>

What do you mean runs and turns faster ?
It accelerates slower than old Panther2.
I couldn't circle a VK with it, first time a VK killed me 1 on 1, with old Panther2 it was much easier.

Other than that, the front armor feels better, it bounces a lot better.

Only played around 10 games with it so far, so I'll see how it performs over the weekend.
Maybe I have to get used with new engine and turning and then decide if it's better or worst.

It accelerates slower but only a bit, i usually roll with 60km/h. For the first time i thought theese russians rigged my speedmeter.
BTW i couldn't circle anything except tanks with damaged turrets with P2. And i can do that now too. But i don't want to do that cause i usually end up dieing. It's still not a real medium but im fine with it. (Know some people wont like it but just go for T54 than)
EDIT: And i feel that it turns faster just stop and try turning. Its kinda fast. Sadly it loses a lot of speed while turning.

Initial impression, in Standard Battles, is beyond great. Actually even boarderline overpowered. But I have also only had lucky battles so far. I'll wait to go through a string of bad luck, before I make up my mind.

It fails on medium role, heavy role and even damage dealer role. Its just slow. I realy dont enyoing it.

Everything is great except engine power (not speed)... needs a better engine.

I'm actually surprised this thing called E50 made into this game.

It's no medium, doesn't move like a medium, doesn't do anything like a medium.
and it no heavy eighter.

A can of baked beans is more agile than the E50.

And once you made it move. It has no breaks.

Orlund's Photo Orlund 11 Aug 2011

A bit too big i think. Makes it sort of easy to shoot at, in my KT i don't have that much problem with shooting at them tho at 1v1 it can get a bit intense.

I still rather face E-50's or Pattons rather then T-54's

Only impression i can give since i didn't test it alot on test server.

Good upgrade from P2, this thing bounces! Would love a wee bit more agility, acceleration, turning/braking (traverse), nothing much just a little. Otherwise all in all pretty good.

Liare's Photo Liare 11 Aug 2011

i love it to be honest, its like the Panther and King Tiger took a trip behind the shed and got busy, its not quite a medium tank, its far to heavy and armoured for that, but its not really a heavy either, its much to mobile.

all in all its a much much better match for a tier 9 tank and unlike the Panther II its not exactly mincemeat when caught flat footed either. to top all that off it looks great all round.

i do expect a fair number of "E-50, why u so OP?" posts in the near future, this lovely little ride is a utter menace against most things it meets.

RobJul's Photo RobJul 11 Aug 2011

although it is a bit slower on the acceleration the extra armour and bouncy nature seem to make up for it and therfore i am really enjoying it.
However i do have one grievence, and thats with the 88L100.... its kinda pointless isnt it? not enough penetration and fire rate to warrant the low damage as an option over the 105. surely the point in having a faster firing, less damage gun is so u cud use it against harder targets and knock little bits of health off? i tried shooting is7 lower front hull....fail. as expected to be honest as the L105 which has basically same pen stat wont do it either. so this means i still need to flank a really bouncy heavy tank to make the gun produce damage, and therfore i go back to the higher alpa damage gun cos when i get there i want it to hurt! any thoughts on the 88L100?

It's just a smaller, faster version of a King Tiger. I love it :)

Great tank yes slightly bigger than P2 but who cares it actually has ARMOR wich bounces and stops rounds ! Gun dispersion is quite horrible but can live with. Didnt expect to much from this tank but im suprised in a good way.

Armo's Photo Armo 11 Aug 2011

It's more like a medium-heavy than true medium. It plays more of a heavy tank role, but has the speed to relocate.

It's too clumsy for proper medium work sadly :(

when you weight 65 tons, you brake for nobody.

i wonder how all you guys that say e50 is awesome play this tank? camp in bushes till 5min before end of match? you really dont see horrible gun depression in close combat? acceleration to 40-45 is kinda ok... but later, give me hill plx!
agility... not enough, if i start from 0 kph after i stopped for shot - i cant outmaneuver gw-t... so i just pray he is still reloading when i ram him, also i lose sooo muuuuuch speed when making turns... t54 can zig zag without much spd lose, e-50 will slow down to 20kmph.
playing peek-a-boo is impossible, you break too slow cos of its weight, its hard to stop from going forward and go back fast.
bouncning ability? mby if someone is using autoaim yeah... but give ppl a week to learn new tanks and it will be like with p2, and mudguards (that thing over tracks from front) .... everything lands there.
size of that tank is hillarous - is7 is lower, just a little longer, t32 is much smaller than e-50, is this game WW2 simulator or arcade? decide at last please, cos you fail at both atm

if it is sim take all the big kids toys from tanks, if it is arcade... make e-50 damn med, not heavy wannabe

i didnt play it much those 2 days cos i dont like it.

if i want to play hvy i go on KT, e-50 is failed medium.

flame mode off.
