GW E-100 Replacement

Posted on February 2, 2015 by Silentstalker

Since it was published elsewhere…

Yea. This is the GW E-100 replacement, still called Grille IIRC. And yes, it’s this weapon – we (Czechoslovaks) wanted to put it on Panther chassis after the war, but the mortar was developed earlier, during the war, for – amongst other things – the Tiger chassis, aka Grille.

so it’s for sure going to be a 305MM gun? time to get a serious umbrella…

  Well it could also be 420mm

    That would be very interesting…
    
    I wonder, in the light of this new arty, maybe SturmTiger does have a chance after all ?

      Yeah I’m really wondering this too :) SS, couldn’t you please please ask the WG guys if they could consider the SturmTiger? :)

        I doubt there will be Sturmtiger ever. If not for other parameters then just for the fact it breaks two WG’s basic rules about ingame guns: 1) only rifled guns (it’s smoothbore) 2) only conventional (it’s rocketlauncher).

        You’re wrong om both accounts. First of it was rifled. Look down the barrel and see, pretty sure they showed / mentioned it in the fairly new Sturmtiger video WG made .
        
        Secondly, the projectile was rocket assisted. Many conventional artillery pieces use that ta extend the range compared to regular rounds.

        Might be wrong about the projectile. But i am sure about the rifling!

Looks like someone wanted to compensate something… ;)
ConnorSwift on February 2, 2015 at 12:46 am said:

Looks like something to look into when it appears in game.

  Must be buff loaders to only have two of them…
  It shouldn’t have AP pen, it should be whatever it hits it crushes completely :P

I dont want them to replace sexy ass GW E 100 :(

  You mean fake ass (or ‘fake as’, as we say in my country).

    Fake as <<<<< Sexy

So no need to worry about T92′s now. Now I have to worry about a 402mm HE round landing on top of me. FUN!
- Ramjali on February 2, 2015 at 12:58 am said:
  
  You wont need to worry too much.
  It will probably be so inaccurate that even the enemy team will need to worry about their friendly GW E-100 shitting on top of them.

Well, gotta start grinding that GW. Tiger.
- eMZakk on February 2, 2015 at 2:01 am said:
  
  just because of this news i re-bought the GW Tiger, and decided to grind those 120.000 exp i still need to get the GW E-100 (after the accuracy nerf i stopped playing artillery altogether). get to f**k, CGC, here comes the german hell machine!
DJ Tucker on February 2, 2015 at 2:55 am said:

I unlocked the GW tiger long time ago… now I have a good reason to buy it.
Merquise on February 2, 2015 at 3:18 am said:

Oddly enough the CGC is one of my worst tier 10 arties.

It has a short barrel (mortar yes) and I can seriously never hit anything with it.
Maybe one in.. 15 shots is a hit?

In my T92 (longer barrel, howitzer), I fire AP shells half the time because it’s still accurate enough to hit at 1000 meters.
Missing with AP doesn’t alert the enemy so they don’t move.
Hitting with AP does 1500 damage.
Missing with HE alerts the enemy and does 300-500 damage.
Hitting with HE does….. 500? 2000? God knows…
I love AP in my T92….

Anyhoo….
I also fire AP in my GWE100.
It’s a lot harder because of the stupid small gun arch.
But if WG turns this gun into a 305mm mortar, it will probably make the GWE useless (for me).

No sir, me no like.
Iron_Tsunami on February 2, 2015 at 4:07 am said:

420mm now?

Armored Warfare better be good. Fuck this shit.
- zeroyuki9221 on February 2, 2015 at 4:50 am said:
  
  It most likely will use 305, the change is not even final lol
noobz on February 2, 2015 at 4:47 am said:

awww why…. theres no need for this…
panzeraustirol on February 2, 2015 at 8:10 am said:

I thought all the time, that (since 305mm gun was mounted on Sturmmörser Bär) it will be Bär. Why not?
artiesarenoobs on February 2, 2015 at 8:34 am said:

With 40 deg. min elevation it probably can’t shoot anything closer than 1km. Good fail vehicle for fail players.
- pesymistyczny on February 2, 2015 at 8:55 am said:
  
  exactly my first thought, defenseless to scouts
23r0_NA on February 2, 2015 at 8:46 am said:

Well at least it’ll finally give something to Germany that can actually hide behind the side of a house as a tier 10 for a change.
karl0ssus1 on February 2, 2015 at 8:54 am said:

I dont know whether to rejoice and grind the thing for CW, or whimper and never reinstall the game.
Not_me on February 2, 2015 at 9:07 am said:

Any timeframe for this ?
Oberst-Knorre on February 2, 2015 at 9:15 am said:

But… will it have autoloader? *g*

On a more serious note for those who ask why not Sturmtiger instead of this Deathstar:
Sturmtiger has some serious front armor. It would be the bouncing bane of every scout tank, if it’s implemented as arty.

Also… wasn’t it that the Sturmtiger had no horizontal gun arc? How do you aim with it in arty mode?
nixxxie on February 2, 2015 at 9:51 am said:

Karl-Geraet, plox… The model is already in game, they only need to put it in randoms :P .

Honestly, the GW-E100 is annoying to play, atm. For me, at least. I hope this new thing has a better gun arch or better traverse. Anything to make it more reliable!

Jarkorsis on February 2, 2015 at 2:53 pm said:

So it shoots every 90 seconds and does 4500 damage? Splash is 50 meter square =).
Torenico on February 2, 2015 at 3:44 pm said:

WG, add it and you lose yet another player.
- 23r0_NA on February 3, 2015 at 8:46 am said:
  
  This isn’t necessarily adding something but replacing something already in the game with something else.
