Regarding E50M, it has only small space on turret front, most of it covered by mantlet and gun. Also there is some small angle on it, around 15 degrees I think. But as far as I remember, if I hit that front with stronger gun or under better angle (negating front turret armor angle), it pens.

The size does matter. I was quite surprised when I mounted top turret on M46. It really reduced the occurance of being hit in it as well it produced some funny bounces when they hit bad angles. And that feeling when you bounce in that thing… it is like you were born second time :) so far M46 was my favorite medium, even when in T54 it is much easier to win since it can even brawl. Heck, I took head on M103 E75 and T29 in T54 at the same time and won. Few more degrees of angle can always make a miracle, especially it you already have some, like E50M turret or Fatton.

Sry that isnt balanced. Also who cares if the T96 is great, only 3k will be on server.

M48 is sooo UP anyway you slice it, it is bottom 2 in most categories, that isnt jack of all trades it is only master of none.

DPM its mid-low
ROF mid-low
HullDown mid [but huge weakspot and weak turret]
Speed lowest
Camo lowest

So if you want depression there is literally no reason to not go Japanese over it…
Its much faster, has -1 better depression, has .3 aimtime worse [Lol] Much sleeker body and turret, better DPM and same alpha and 1/3rd better camo and 10m less view…Lol

I mean it was first ever laminate armor, first Smoothbore`d tank that was a stable firing platform, first of its kind in rangefinding and firecontrol….All in all totally revolutionary .

Even though it wasnt produced it had nothing to do with it not being amazing. It all came down to it being to advanced and unable to build mass numbers, and since we relied on huge numbers in WW2 and won using this method obviously this was the waY TO GO RIGHT? Lol yes fight the USSR with numbers and we would have surely won [Not]

Anyways the ingame T96 cant ever match RL`s version or else it would be massively OP and basically make Heavies useless and Meds would get bullied. Only thing that would keep up/beat it would be T64 and MBT70

Also they are only giving -8 degrees to M103/E5 and probably E6.

About Rus meds being OP, they are…They have amazing bounce armor, amazing DPM and OTM accuracy and a shot every 5.5 secs [Like slow autoloader than never ends] and all of it with WAY MORE depression than normal. IN RL -5 is generous for the Rus MBT`s and things like 907+430 were -3.

So Ruski meds get everything.

So instead of doing things like making US heavies great and all there meds suck, and all Rus meds gr8 and Heavies suck why not mix both?

M48 needs its old DPM of 3k+, remember when it was released it was even with the 62a…Then they nerfed it. M48 has no armor, now has no Depression advantage ontop of having a super weak turret, on top of being slowest [fattest] hull down tank, ontop of having worse camo…It needs something.
