?{{TankData+#REDIRECT[[Tank:G55_E-75]]
?|The first heavy tank in the Entwicklung series. It has very thick sloped armor, rivaling that of the [[ST-I]], but with one great advantage. Unlike the [[ST-I]], the E-75 lacks the huge view port weakspot the [[ST-I]] has on the front side. Stock it is armed with the inadequate 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71, but can also use the 10.5 cm KwK 46 L/68 from the [[Tiger II]] so make sure to research it before using the E-75. Eventually, you will have access to the very powerful 12.8 cm KwK 44 L/55 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. However, of the tier 9 and 10 heavies the E-75 is one of the slowest. Only the [[Maus]] has a slower top end speed and it is regularly passed even by the [[Löwe]]. Your manuverability is also slacking, with dismal turning rates and sluggish turret travers Taking this in consideration, you can be easily flanked and destroyed by faster mediums and lights. You can help migitate the danger by traversing your hull along with the turret, doubling the traverse speed and allowing you to get a shot on the enemy.+
?Speed and agility aside, you are a quite versetile tank. You can be a close range brawler relying on your armor and firepower to keep you alive, or you can be a far range sniper with good accuracy and damage. The E75 is one of the most dynamic heavies of it's tier, with thick hull and turret armor coupled with an excellent gun. In situations in which your armor does not hold out against enemy fire, you can rely on your huge block of hit points to bring you through the battle.+

?|InTheGame_pros=+
?* Excellent dynamics. Combined with excellent hull and turret armor, this "trustworthy" heavy tank is not an easy opponent for any medium or light tank.+
?* Strong upper frontal armor and excellent whole frontal turret armor.+
?* Relatively strong side armor.+
?* Excellent view range.+
?* Excellent gun: very accurate, good rate of fire, and high DPS.+
?* High number of hit points.+
?* The large mass of 94.5t makes it good for ramming.+
? +
?|InTheGame_cons=+
?* Tall silhouette.+
?* A marked tendency to receive critical hits to the internal modules and crew.+
?* The observation devices tend to get damaged easily.+
?* Strong inertia - damaged tracks during tank movement will rotate it almost 180°.+
?* Poor turret rotation speed. However, this drawback is offset somewhat by the armor of the turret.+
? +
?|InTheGame_performance=+
?With strong armor, a precise and powerful gun, and decent maneuverability for its size, the E-75 is a highly capable tank. Many say it's what the Tiger II would be if it was tier 9. +
? +
?The tank has a very high silhouette, so don't expect to do much hiding. The ammunition is very expensive (aim carefully before each shot), and most importantly, the turret rotates very slowly. Most any medium tank can out-circle it.+
? +
?However, in the top tier, E-75 is a perfectly balanced machine, whose presence in the list should make any opponent nervous. One distinctive feature of the E-75 is that the transmission is in the rear, and thus, engine fires from front hits are very rare. Those who have become used to having their nerves frazzled from engine failures and fires from front hits in their German tanks can relax a little.+
? +
?Despite the low (but standard for the Germans) maximum speed of 30 kph, it is nevertheless quite frisky. All the guns for the tank have good accuracy and fire rapidly. +
? +
?The main tactic is sniping from a distance. The tank is very sensitive to the splash damage from artillery, not to mention a direct hit. It would be very useful to have the E-100's screens, but in their absence, this tank must rely on agility and engine power. Effectively, this tanks is roughly on par with the IS-4. +
? +
?The greatest danger for the E-75 in a direct clash comes from fast tanks. When fighting very strong opposition, "hull down" or "American" tank tactics can be used: hide the body in the folds of the terrain or behind stones/tank corpse and shoot enemies from a distance. +
? +
?|InTheGame_research=+
?* If you unlock the E-75 via the Tiger II, then you'll already have the Maybach HL 234 and 10.5 cm KwK 46 L/68 researched and you can install them immediately.+
?* The first thing you should research is the upgraded suspension.+
?* From there the turret is a great next step, and you can take your pick from there. +

?|History=+
?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.+
