Note that he is referring to the WT auf E-100, NOT the Maus.

Global win rate is higher on unpopular hard to play tanks like the 183 because they are played by better players. German tanks have the overall worst players and have lower global win ratios because of it.

Fell free to bring your 15 WTF-100s, my clan will bring 4 WTF-100s, a T-62A and 10 183s, smack a WTF-100 with HESH,shoot him once with another WTF-100′s 128mm gun, he should die. T-62A is around as a mop to 1-shot any remaining WTFs that survive a 183 plus a shot from a WTF-100 to the face.

First shot: Your clan has 5 at full HP, 6 down to 1-shottable by our WTF-100s (one of these is hit by the T-62A once), 4 have died from our WTF-100s after being hit by 183.
You return fire after a second to aim, assuming you focused fire, our 183s can still shelter our WTF-100s a bit and you are after our second volley down to 5+1 WTF-100s (4 down from our WTF-100s and one from second T-62A shot) while we are still only down a total of 5 183s from your 2 volleys.
Third volley you have killed another 1.5 of our 183s, or more probably probably one of our WTFs by this point instead, so we have 5 183s left, 3 WTF-100s, and a T-62A. You have the wounded WTF finished off with a single shot from one of ours, and another hit for about 60% of his health, plus 4 intact.
4th volley: We’re down 1 more tank, probably a WTF, so we have 5 183s, 2 WTF-100s and a T-62A left, kill your wounded WTF with our WTF-100s to be sure RNG doesn’t screw us too much, and the T-62 shot damage another, say RNG screwed us and 62A had to mop the guy up.
5th: We likely lose another 183 to accumulated damage as it screens our WTF-100s. You lose over half the health on one of your last 4 WTF-100s.
6th: more damage soaked up. We kill that wounded one. You have 3 WTF-100s, we have 4 183s, 2 WTF-100s and a T-62A.
The T-62A circles one of your WTF-100s to death, the 183s split into 2 pairs and each pair HESHes a WTF-100 into dust about 17 seconds after the fight began. The WTF-100s wouldn’t reload fast enough to be useful with the T-62A’s DPM.

you get the point.

Yes, thats justifies the bad armor on paper, but thats not enough. Decent mobilty, better guns, better camo value and turret is really too MUCH advantage compared to 1st line TDs in any fucking possible way. How ever, I dont know if WG nerfed tier 8 and 9 due to people complaining, or because they really feel those tanks are OP. And if they alreaddy knew these tanks were OP, why even release them on live server with those stats`?

True, thats what im saying. With actuall 1200 damage and 20+ seconds reload, you would be forced to play smart, shoot and back off and angle armor when returning fire. With WT E100 you can take one hit, still survuve and finish off the enemy. In no other TD is that possible, except retard autloaders, which the WT E100 is.

True, but compare a miss or bounce and then have to reload for 20-25 seconds, than get another shot in 2-3 seconds after. Also the WT E100 is a tier 10 retard tank, people can and will use gold ammo. They surely use gold ammo on object 268 and foch 155, and they have almost 300mm pen anyways?

Also, with the 128mm gun, you do more than 1000 damage in 4-6 seconds (2 shots), which is much more than average 1050 damage on the jagdpanzer e100.

Either that or the T-43′s gun installed with lower RoF, normal MM.

Premium tanks are meant to be weaker than elite silver tanks. Chi-Nu Kai is pretty balanced, IMO. Decent gun on a mediocre platform.
