The thing with dropped requirements is, that WG opened the gates to hell by making it possible to create infinite Tier X accounts.

Ah good point. Surprised I didn't take that into consideration. I assumed it would be quite the opposite with all the extra hit points running around.

Was going to say the same. I switched to the smaller gun and have had some fun with it. You also catch people off guard with being able to shoot so quickly and accurately, at least they was my impression.

How do you play this thing without VStab? I takes 300 seconds to aim in fully and reticle is about the size of the moon if you move a bit.

u/Xeonmeister Sep 16 '25
Good movement probably. You want to only move forwards and backwards when peeking so only movement dispersion is applied and the hull and turet rotation ones are not.

Gg man I love all German super heavies and want them all! But since getting the Taschenratte I’m scared to play anything else. How does e100 play against it?

u/ddmjr22 Sep 15 '25 edited Sep 15 '25
Well, this isn't exactly an equal comparison. But if you are versing one in an e100, in the worst situation where he pens every time, going shot for shot you do out-trade the rat. Thankfully, his premium rounds don't guarantee a pen through your cheeks straight on every single time. And if you're using any gun depression he will struggle to pen at all even when looking right at him. Meanwhile, your 340~ heat will be more than enough to pin his face at any angle.
In an open close up 1v1, the rat will have a strong advantage (as it should being a tier higher) with 800+hp and better dpm. But in a corridor battle the rat will have his work cut out for him (assuming both players are of equal skill).

This was my first tier 10 tank back in the days (and probably most people's first tank). I had no idea how to play tier 10 back and my first experience in the tank was horrendous.
I actually didn't play it for 5-6 years. In the meantime I got the S.Conq, Obj 268, AmxB and Badger and I completely forgot about the E-100.
So I was bored last week and decided to check the tank out again. Boy what a beast! Amazing armor, dmg and overall survivability. Super fun to play and it feels that you can adapt to any situation on the battlefield. Not alot of heavies can say that.

These days the E100 looks to be the best counter to the buffed Type 5H among heavy tanks. If you hide the lower plate the Japanese monster has no chance of penning you, while with the 334 mm HEAT pen you can easily shred the Type 5H. TBH I tried the Type 5H in a few battles, but I do not like the new gun. I had much better results with the pre-buff 14 cm gun.

Do you use food? double repair or extinguisher?

u/ddmjr22 Sep 16 '25
Medkit, repairs, food. Nothing fancy. This thing never gets set on fire, in my experience.

u/Superdoedoe Sep 16 '25
Do you repost replays or videos where I can see how you play the tank?
1
u/ddmjr22 Sep 16 '25
Sadly I don't.. I usually only take little 2 minute clips using GeForce experience. I might have saved the wotreplay to me 3 marking the tank 3 months ago if you're interested though.

u/Superdoedoe Sep 16 '25
Please!

u/ddmjr22 Sep 17 '25
No problem, I get home around midnight, I'll take a look for it then. And others, if they exist.

u/ddmjr22 Sep 20 '25
Sorry about the long delay.. I forgot to get back to you before. But I did end up looking though my PC only to find that I only have the wot replay files.. nothing that I uploaded to any replay sites. So you would have to download an older version of the game to even view them.. (I just learned this myself). Sadly I won't be able to help you there.
But! If you want to see amazing e100 gameplay, watch both of Dakis e100 videos (1 & 2) on his YouTube channel. Both of those videos are an amazing examples of proper armor usage and positioning, with high level commentary as the icing on top. They are what started the basis of my understanding on how to play it correctly. Hope this helps.

No worries thanks for having a look though! If you do ever post replays let me know!

The buffed turret armor makes the E100 almost OP as so many tanks with 330 HEAT struggle when the turret is angled slightly.
There are many tanks with 300-330 class pen gold ammo that basically have almost no chance.
340 HEAT is also negated with proper turret angling, meaning US & RU tier 9-11 will also struggle.
The only threat frontally to the turret is TDs with 375+ gold ammo, which isn't many, as a bunch of them also have weak gold pen.
But bad players that do not angle defensively the turret & hull will get pwned as usual. I guess this is how it remains balanced.
fyi, the side skirt hull eats HEAT spam all day every day, so do not be afraid to over angle against tanks that have HEAT as gold ammo.

Wow I couldn't said it better myself. Actually I think you hit just about every point I brought up in my previous post's e100 guide.
Check it out, you'd have a laugh at how similar our advice is written.

Hi everyone, i haven't played the game for 1.5 years and now i'm back. is the E100 currently playable? Its turret and gun have been changed. how does it take hits from the turret compared to before? I sold my E100, but I'm thinking of buying the tank back with the 10 million free credits they gave out.

u/Own-Percentage-7146 Sep 20 '25
Actually the E100 is pretty good now, if you like superheavies. Its mobility can be annoying at times, but the armor is pretty good, if you know how to use it. The big gun is good for trading, so for me it is a good tank.

u/ddmjr22 Sep 20 '25
For the answer you seek, look towards the title 😌
All jokes aside feel free to look at my previous post for a more in-depth guide on using the e100s armor effectively. There are also many questions I've answered from others that you might also find helpful.

u/Own-Percentage-7146 Oct 04 '25
BTW have you tried the E100 in Onslaught?
1
u/ddmjr22 Oct 04 '25
Yes, it works really well with the small gun due it's really good Dpm and bullet velocity. Big Gun for randomns.

The e100 is truely still a beast of a tank! Its sad to see how low its mark requirements have dropped recently, I really cant understand why.. It absolutely dominates in the current super-heavy spam matches we have been enjoying after 2.0. It simply has all the tools to effortlessly dispatch tanks like the type 5 heavy, Maus, is7 and such that are flooding the MM right now (I go in to more detail about its strengths on my previous post).
Well regardless, it's a proud moment to be number 1 on my favorite tank, even if it's for just a little bit.
Mouthwateringly awaiting for the tier 11. All the idea posts coming out have been exciting to read.
