T110E5: is it OP?

Ectar:     - Shoot the LFP on the side and driver is dead... - Shoot the first track wheel from the sides and ammo rack damaged and driver is dead... - Shoot HE into its sides from E100/ E3/ E4/ Obj 268 do 950+ damage and set it on fire... - for the VK45B to be penned frontally you'll need ~330mm penetration, and its cupola much smaller... - IS7 has much better front, side and rear armour and a real troll while hull-down, E5 cupola can still be penned if shot right...   Its rounded front can be bouncy while moving, stationary an IS3 should be able to pen its lower plate and unless someone's firing HEAT into your sides you never gonna deflect damage from the tanks you meet. With the HD models angles and curves became more detailed = armour actually works *worth anything* but RNG can still troll you.   I had a few games with it since the update and yes it's bouncier than before, but because everyone shoots at my turret front for some reason... Might seems to be OP compared to an IS3, but not tier for tier and besides T10 tanks were made to fight T10 tanks.     Regards, DR4G4L     Lots of great advice here. The front wheel thing can be especially effective once you can nail that weakspot. I remember 1 shotting an E5 with the first shot on Steppes with an ammo rack.  It's no more OP than an Maus, IS7 or E100. They're front line brawlers and need to have strong frontal armour. Once you get round it however or know where to shoot it's not easy but you have a fighting chance.   If you're a medium going head to head with a heavy, the heavy should realistically win as that's his comfort zone.   If you're a TD going head to head then it comes down to who knows where to shoot and who potentially has the better ground to help protect their weaknesses (hull down, denying a flank opportunity) If you're a light then you're either brave or stupid If you're arty you best hope RNGesus is on your side, you're not within spotting range and you're not reloading
