When i die, i die because i can't get out of trouble fast enough. So yep, for me speed > firepower.
You don't have the best armor, so it doesn't matter what gun you have, you must take care and flank. ->Can't flank without a good engine.

But this is how i play, if someone like a good gun on a slow medium it not my problem.

Bought E-50 with the discount and started playing after 7.5. Crew at 95% + vents and toolbox and the tank is still pretty awesome. 28 victories in 40 matches. The accuracy is so refreshing after playing hundreds of battles with Patton. The front armor too.

Funny to notice the changes in gameplay brought by the different MM, re-tiering of tanks, buffs/nerfs, and possibly also worst player base. Just about a year ago I reached 1000 battles with Panther 2 T9. 2490 damage per battle, 990 average xp, 60% WR and playing every match like my life was at stake to get there. Now with less pimped crew and equipment, just about 2000 damage per battle, I can play more relaxed and win just as much or more...

Just got a game where I was top tier on serene coast (I use the 88L100 because I haven't researched the 105) It was like birthday and Christmas rolled into one

e50 cant even flank tank destroyers because all of them has much better turn rate!!! e50 is really terrible tank heavy tanks are always better in every thing than e50!

Not sure if trolling or stupid.

I just got the E-50, 6 battles and only 1 victory thus far (Using stock turret and 8,8 cm L71). I feel bad for every team I'm on when driving it due to how crap this gun is in tier 9 - 10 battles.
The tank is incredibly large and is heavier than the IS4, how the E-50 isn't classified as a heavy tank I don't know. The tank is very sluggish and has mediocre acceleration (Using MB HL 234). It slows down like the tank has asbesdos drum brakes from an old motorcycle. When spotted, EVERYONE shoots at me. I've seen tanks give up their primary targets to engage me in my E-50 because people think that the E-50 is just a worsened version of the E-75.

Edit:
Forgot to mention how much of a hole in the wallet this tank is. 16K+ For repairs alone?
Like AMX heavies, it needs to be fully upgraded in order to be of any use. Currently, it's a piece of shit in my garage. Absords damage like a sponge absorbs water. With the new MM the tank can't compete seriously.

Something I've noticed is the Lorraine, Patton and T54 have much shorter grinds for the top engine (Suspension is around the same for each).
E-50 top engine = 50,000 XP
Lorraine top engine = 36,000 XP
Patton top engine: 31,000 XP
T54 top engine = 27,200 XP

Don't judge a tank about how it is stock. I hated it at first too, but then I loved it, even though I had the 1200 HP engine from the beginning (E-75)

I kinda love E-50 after the 7.5 changes but is seems that WG doesn't like me driving it.
lost 9 battles in a row when averaging 2.5k damage per match in the process.
Once It was 6+k and still a defeat...

Played 4 games and I've been gutted since I've had a 1-2 zero damage hits in each game. Have anyone else experienced this "lately"?
Can't say that I've experienced it before. Well, the 88mm used to have it's random hits now and then in other tanks, that I know.

I'm using the 105 L/52.

Hehe. E50's long barreled 88 is ridicilously accurate. 105mm is better at brawling tho.

E-50 is still a great tank, everyone saying otherwise, is probably playing it wrong.

Pretty much, im still having fun with this tank, grinding it for E50M, the grind has been pretty enjoyable so far. Its a hell of train to when i get my hands on a E50M.

It got NERF again and what can you expect for a BIAS pro-Russian company(?)

I buyed it again in discount to try grind for E50M just to notice nothing changed. E50 still suck hard in any role (its slow for medium and weak for heavy).
I wish i could get my tier9 P2 (i grinded for after release) back. I would never get this shit50, its just not worth it.

I like the E-50, flanked a JagdTiger last night and finished him off, very satisfying.

Got Tracks, Turret and almost at 10.5cm gun. 8.8cm L/71 is still a good gun though, beats the stock 7.5cm L/70!

Works well playing as the design was intended, ie; running escort and interference/inception against lights/meds for E-75's and other big tanks.

I bought this tank on friday, and i like it very match. Wth crew at 80%.
At the begining was hard to grid exp and money. I use my type to harvest money and E50 exp.
With some free exp have unlocked first, the 2nd gun (the pinoccio one).
I use it to snipe a lot. What a great gun for sniping it is! I love the penetration and the accuricy it has.
i could even hit everything (exept the amy beast m110e5) and do some damage. But i  need more power.
After that and a lot of destraction (mine), manage to gather exp. I unlock the the tracks. The tank is now more agile. The pain continious after i have unlocked the tarret. By that time same games gave me 1100 exp and same others 200. When i have to managed to unlock the last gun and try it in battle i have feel the power it has. The tank tranformed to a docfighter and finally now can strike hard.
My favorite tank so far.
I have a question about modules. I have install rammer and stabillaiser. What to install at third slot?
I dont like vedilation i think it dosent do mutch. Also Is there anything to do about eng fires. And finally is it possible to suggest crew skills? Mine have all repairs at about 56%.

Catches fire like a zippo, breaks quite badly and sticks out like a sore thumb. I do like this vehicle alot but playing it costs lost of credits due to the steep ammo costs and repairs.
One can but wonder how this baby would do if not for the ancestor killer bias.

I also find it irritating how there is no inventive on the side of the developers. If things would have gone the axis way a bit more this beast would have rolled out at the end of the 40´s tops. The M model a few years (at best) later. And still we are forced to play against tanks from the late 50´s or early 60´s. Throw us already the Leopard 1 ffs.

I must also say that using the second gun, every hit i score, takes points from the tank i have hit.
For the last gun, there are many times that i score a hit on a target (penetrate target) but no points taken out!

E-50 sucks. Sounds legit.

I still enjoy driving it, but since update it catches fires at least once every two games. Previously i drove without fire extingers and with higer octane fuel to improve agility a bit. Not anymore, so it really is a nerf to have engine / gearbox in the fornt now. I can really notice it.
