We all know it has a weak turret, but it is so damned fast, and it has SUCH AMAZING view-range, that with 100% camo crew, a camo net, binocs and coated optics basically made it so that I could shoot EVERYONE without them EVER seeing me! I mean with that kinda setup, I saw an IS7 around 810 meters away (OFC another teammate T62A was closer and the one who spotted the IS7) And KILLED it before it could do more than 1 shot to the T62A, and the T62A did not even damage it! No one other than me did, AND IT ONLY TOOK 4 APCR ROUNDS TOO!

That is just too damned OP… That is more than power creep, that is making all previous tanks nearly useless in the face of it! Sure, if you are LUCKY (and the driver is either dumb, or close to the last one left on his team and doesnt have 6th sense or view range enhancements) You could catch one during its minute long reload – but I have NEVER found falling back to reload to be ANY kind of real problem! I mean with the DEVASTATING auto cannon, I , along with 2 or more teammates alone can wipe out 5+ enemy tanks on one flank! As a result, I NEVER traveled without teammates nearby and cover I can make it to in order to reload.

In other words, the ONLY weaknesses of the WTF-E-10OP are easily offset by driver skill (but not much of that is needed really..) and/or good equipment and crew setup and good reload tactics! Which OFC I know from having owned a BatChat 25t since it was a tier 9 med.

As I see it, this tank will NEED the extra depression to make up for its complete LACK of armor! Unless they do work a LAD system into it which would be easy enough AND make sense! Just give a dedicated key that turns the LAD on and off, that way a player can decide to load a full LAD at the beginning of a match, and then turn LAD loading off as it starts firing off its longer 4 round burst – after which pint it could reload like most meds with a 105mm gun, a round every 7.5-8.5 seconds! And IF a player then decides to fall back for a little they can again reload the LAD so that the tank can unload another 4 rounds in 12 seconds when it again re-emerges!

OR

They could just incorporate the LAD as an always in-use system. Since it takes 4 seconds between each shot, it should load the next 4 rounds in about 16-24 seconds – depending how initial testing shows.

But there again, I am not sure testing matters AT ALL!

I mean HOW did the WTF-E-10OP make it into the game WITH a 6 round clip that can do 560 average damage every 2 seconds, unloading 3360 damage EASILY in only 12 seconds! With .29 acc, a full 260 turret with a fast turning speed, good acceleration and maneuverability (better maneuverability than the Foch 155 and nearly the same speed!) AND it aims in 1.5 seonds! Meaning using ALL view and camo equip, coated optics, binocs, and camo net – with camo and view range training – like my E-100 crew had in beta (I switched repairs to camo) – the Waffentrager E-10OP is THE DEFINITION OF OP! With SO much accuracy, 276 AP pen is MORE than enough, BUT it still has 352 APCR PEN! I can, and HAVE penned an E-100′s upper glacis with it! Which means the turret is auto-pen with APCR! Ugh…. It pisses me off that they drop such a blatantly OP tank into this game…. I mean FFS, I did 6111 AVERAGE damage per match in 26 matches, I only lost 4 times, and I Survived ALL but 3 matches! NO TANK SHOULD PWN THAT EASILY AND THAT WELL!

Now more seriously, I think this might be the first tier X I free exp to all the way from tier 1.
