The E 75 TS is a premium tier VIII German heavy tank.

## General Information

The E 75 TS shares many similarities with the E 75 (as its name might suggest), so it has some of the same strengths and weaknesses as its tier IX counterpart. Although the E 75 TS has strong armor, it has some notable weak spots, such as the turret cheeks and the lower plate. These weaknesses can often be mitigated with the use of proper armor angling.

## Strategy

**As E 75 TS:** The E 75 TS is a variant of the E 75. there are two major differences between the two tanks: The E 75 has *much* smaller turret cheeks, but the E 75 TS sports cage armor over its sides. Some consider the cages to be useless and merely decoration, but this is not the case. Slat Armor is its official name, and it neutralizes HEAT rounds. In some cases, you may bounce 250-some damage from your sideskirts. Opponents are foolish to shoot at your side armor with prammo, for your turret's side armor is the same thickness. Aside from the sideskirts, strategy is similar to the Tiger II or the E 75. Your frontal armor is strong and well sloped, but your turret cheeks are massive and weak. Waggling your turret will decrease the chance of opponents scoring a hit. This tank is also relatively fast but has poor acceleration.

**Against E 75 TS:** As aforementioned, the turret cheeks are large and poorly sloped, easily penetrated by prammo or even some normal AP rounds. Also mentioned before, the sideskirts will bounce HE and HEAT rounds, so don't bother. this tank is easily tracked, so you may consider that. The lower glacis plate will not revile you, so shooting that may avail results.

## Historical Information

The E 75 TS is a peculiar tank, but it does seem to have some historical basis. After the cancellation of the Löwe project in the summer of 1942, Krupp continued development of new heavy tanks. Apparently, one such project designated simply "TS" emerged during the development of the Tiger II and would use components from the Tiger II and former Löwe projects. In addition, it would use a gas-turbine engine, a 105mm L/70 or L/73 gun and would have the option of additional turret armor and removable sideskirts (Schürzen). Eventually, Krupp made a request to utilize suspension and transmission components from the E-series tanks in this project, essentially making it an E 75 proposal from Krupp. However, the project was soon cancelled in favor of developing the E 100 Tiger-Maus project. While this information desperately needs further verification, in any case, the E 75 TS is almost certainly a reconstruction from a set of specifications which represent what the project was supposed to be. Whether or not this constitutes a "fake" or "real" tank remains up for its commander to decide.

## Historical Accuracy data

There's no known information about an "improved" design of the E 75 exists. The only known sketch of the original E 75 only featured a hull and without turret, there's no information about improved turret design of the E 75 either. So, this think is a complete fabrication created by Wargaming. Despite the description stated that it was an "improved" version of the E 75, the E 75 TS's statistics are way worse than the original E 75 in almost every aspect, save for turret armor and top speed.
