sure, city maps like ensk make it harder (ruinberg still has some long streets where you can profit from camo+viewrange and an open field), but you can still use it to flank enemies like you would in an aggressive scout. But this goes for every TD or other tank that relies on camo instead of armor.

firing more often may get you spotted easier, but if an E-25 hides behind a bush he has so much camo, that combined with camo skill + camonet the enemy can get ~150m close and will not see him while shooting.(Source: http://www.wotinfo.net/en/camo-calculator, tested e-25 vs T32)

Sure, penning enemy T32 frontally will not be easy, but since e-25 can pretty much position himself anywhere, you can easily snipe enemies on the side of the tank or even flank them and shoot them in the back.

Yes, ELC has scout matchmaking, but they still have the same playstyle and they have the same max MM rating and E-25 is better at everything. Just because ELC is Tier5 does not really change anything once you loaded into the game and they in fact DO meet each other.

I don’t believe premium tanks ever get nerfed or buffed…do they?

absolutely agree. they are nerfing maps for snipers instead of nerfing that tanks. and introducing more city maps in new patches. now only 3 or 4 maps are suitable for e25. it’s great DPM and great camo are the only strong sides of that tank. and it cannot use them in city maps or in corridors which are WG’s favourite things these days. it has weak penetration (cannot pen. even tier 7 tanks easily, cannot flank tanks due to lack of turret and cannot engage moving tanks due to narrow gun angle. so it’s not OP as hell.

So they’re thinking of removing the E-25 but leaving in the SU-122-44?

First of all, why did they have to say that they were considering removing the one of the two that I DON’T have, and secondly, the SU-122-44 is as OP, if not MORE OP than the E-25.

Or perhaps you don’t see how hard it is to play that E-25.

If MM gives you a map like Ensk or Ruinberg, good luck with that paper armor and absence of a turret – those maps hardly give any good spot with a brush to hide in. End result? You will have to rely on view range (assuming you use a Binocs or Optics) which will turn useless the moment a tank gets close enough and sees you. Then that paper armor won’t save you from getting shot at a few seconds later.

Good ROF? Haven’t you thought about the fact that firing more often in a match will get you spotted more easily?

Not to mention T8 games give tanks that have armor that’s difficult to pen frontally with 150mm penetration. Even a T32′s hull becomes difficult to pen the moment it angles. Not to mention those IS-6′s…

Have you thought about the fact that the ELC is a SCOUT tank, while the E-25 is a TD, explaining the matchmaking?

The way I see it, the E-25 punishes dumb players who don’t get out of the line of fire the moment they get shot at with that 75mm gun.

You sir, are the one who is blind.

I got 2338 average in it after 400+ games. So it’s a beast, though I won’t play it again as long as they keep nerfing maps. You barely have maps where you can use that camo anymore.. :(

I started playing it in 9.0 when they had started nerfing maps, if I’d have started with normal maps I would have had 200 more avrg dmg :).
