| ? | The E-75 is a tier 9 [[Germany|German]] [[Heavy Tanks|Heavy tank]]. It is the first [[Heavy Tanks|heavy tank]] in the Entwicklung series. It has very thick sloped armor, rivaling that of the IS-4, but with one great advantage. Unlike IS-4, the E-75 lacks a huge weak spot on the front side. At stock it is armed with an inadequate 88mm L/71, but can also use the long 105mm from the Tiger II. Eventually, you will have access to the very powerful 128mm gun that packs a sizable punch up close or afar. The E-75 can be used for multiple roles thanks to its fantastic armor and great weaponry. Very thick and well sloped armor makes the E-75 virtually immune to all tier 6 and lower tanks even if they attack the sides and rear. Like all heavies (bar the IS-7), however, the E-75 is slow. | | + | |

| ? | The E-75 Standardpanzer was intended to be the standard heavy tank to be used as a replacement of the [[Tiger II]] and [[Jagdtiger]]. The E-75 would have been built on the same production lines as the [[E-50]] for ease of manufacture, and the two vehicles were to share many components, including the same Maybach HL 234 engine. The E-75 would have had much thicker armour however, and in fact compared to the Tiger II the E-75 had improved hull armour all round. As its name indicates, the resulting vehicle would have weighed in at over 75 tonnes, reducing it's speed to around 40 km/h. To offset the increased weight, the bogies were spaced differently than on the E-50, with an extra pair added on each side, giving the E-75 a slightly improved track to ground contact length. | | + | |

| ? | According to some sources, the similarities between the E-50 and the E-75 went further; they were to be equipped with the same turret and 88mm L/71 or L/100 gun, along with an optical rangefinder for increased long range accuracy (German scientists and engineers had successfully designed a 'schmal' or narrow turret and infra-red lighting and sights for use on the prototype Panther F as the war drew to a close). Other sources however, indicate that the E-75 was to be fitted with the much larger Tiger II turret, which could be adapted to accommodate an even more powerful high velocity 10.5 cm gun. | | + | |
