Circon, this is your best commentary yet. I could tell you were in a good mood when you recorded this. Keep making more videos man. Please and thank you.
They should make the bottom of the e5 cupola (the little ring bit below the machine gun) still strong, and make the actual machine part weaker. If they made the actual cupola, it would be very bad for the tank
Screw cupola buff, I would nerf the damn lower plate to the pre-HD levels. So you can still hull down pretty nicely, but when you are out of position, your lower plate gets fucked…you know like in 90 % of heavy tanks. The lower plate is ridiculous, with weakspots in the corners, but good luck hitting that if the driver is competent, in his ”fast traversing, aims quicker than your med heavy tank”
(Pls puff up my ego and like this comment so Circ might see it) Since you asked for them, here are two of my replays from this patch. http://wotreplays.com/site/3061648#siegfried_line-octo16awesome-m40_m43 This replay showcases the glorious balance that is arty. (for the memes) http://wotreplays.com/site/3071913#sand_river-octo16awesome-matilda_iv Im actually proud of this replay. I was playing the Maltida IV as a rental and had this game. If you do the math, I do more damage in that game than my entire team combined. (Pls puff up my ego and like this comment so Circ might see it)
I really enjoyed this upload. I especially enjoyed the advice and strategic explanations. I wish you had the time to make more content in the same vein.
Instead of making the cupola a weak spot again, I would make the lower plate weak again and maybe reduce the track traverse by a little bit. It would force the E5 to play a bit more like your usual ridge line American heavy tank, a tier 10 brawler-heavy tank shouldn’t have such a huge turret weak spot: the IS-7, E100 (if angled), 113 all have pretty much weak-spot free turrets. One thing i would definitely do is reduce the HEAT pen from 330mm to 300mm, that is plenty IMO.
the only awkward thing about the e5 in my experience after ~500 battles in it, is the ammorack. te lower plate is not reliable, (yes, it’s very strong) but if you pen it, it’s ammorack.
waaaw i never thought my replay will be reviewed by u as well circon , its my honor to have this 😀
anyway about the gold ammo shots , i was completely forgot to change it back to standard before i really i almost wasted most of em unnecessarily lmao . and same as you , i got my 3rd way more than a year ago 😉
and about my name , it means Aku=i Tegar=hardcore so basically ImaHardcoreGamer kinda lol
gun broke but he dont give a damn, i also want to highlight that e5 dont work for me but that is because i am unlucky player (the level of: bouncing side of grille with my e100 and i loaded he- kind of unluck)
That was a situational game that highlighted e5’s strong points, but few games are like that when playing it. Also, it seems that he had a very good crew and the enemyes did’t know where to shoot it when they had the opportunity. Apparently they were all set for the cuppola.
9:05 Do people still not realize you can do that with nearly if not every tank in the game? It’s always polite to take advantage of up track into hull shots.
This tank makes my german E100 obsolete. Its flat armor has no function to the heat shells, the 150mm gun cant do nothing on AP and HEAT bounces on the E5’s rounded profile. Nerf it or give the E100 some buffs…
The cupola was stupidly annoying because it was so easy to pen and easy to hit. E5 needs it’s LFP nerfed back, strong hull down is fine but sat in the open and you can’t pen the LFP or it trolls you isn’t fine.
Circon, this is your best commentary yet. I could tell you were in a good
mood when you recorded this. Keep making more videos man. Please and thank
you.

Top Tier Golder………. good Noob Noob…
is dis from asia server? cuz Aku means “I am” in malay…so IamGamerTiger?

This guys ammo management makes me wanna fucking puke.

What’s funny about this replay especially is that the dude playing the E5
ain’t that good. But the tank is dank so who really cares
1 vs 13 and winning! Kolobanovs, Pools medal, 1 short for Raiseinai medal

meme’s are real with this one
would you take a console replay? it’s on YouTube and I don’t know if you
would be okay doing that
How about a kick ass replay that doesn’t involve an OP tank?
Would be a nice change of pace don’t you think?
,,mising shots gold amo for what i dont like this play style ,,but e5 ovp

snails pace going backwards and easily ammo racked are the two weaknesses
of the E5 that bug me when playing it
Can you do a replay cast of any of the T95 mediums?
1k gold say Circon can have a battle like that in that server.every
battle,any tier.lmfao
http://wotreplays.com/site/3116335#stats
from when i got a kolabanovs in my 13-90 in a tier 10 battle
AW is removing arty…WG TAKE A HINT! :P
Instead of making the cupola a weak spot again, I would make the lower
plate weak again and maybe reduce the track traverse by a little bit. It
would force the E5 to play a bit more like your usual ridge line American

I came here expecting a Chi-Ri replay.
Asia server gameplay! Next level stuff.
“NO THE E5 IS BALANCED!!!!! YOU JUST NEED TO GIT GUD!!!!”
Says almost every unicum besides Circon, Foch, and Sliphantom.
That tiger 2, won’t be suprised if he stopped playing this shitty game with
its stupid +2 mm, ABSOLUTLY unbalanced
Wow he’s such a big noob lol, just spamming heat and playing op tanks
wow…
the only awkward thing about the e5 in my experience after ~500 battles in
it, is the ammorack. te lower plate is not reliable, (yes, it’s very
strong) but if you pen it, it’s ammorack.
This comment section is cancer.
Everyone saying e5 is balanced is either stupid or padding hard in it.
waaaw i never thought my replay will be reviewed by u as well circon , its
my honor to have this 😀

“Unnecessary as balls” :’D
gun broke but he dont give a damn, i also want to highlight that e5 dont
work for me but that is because i am unlucky player (the level of: bouncing
side of grille with my e100 and i loaded he- kind of unluck)
Whys he shooting heat at the VK B when all you need to do is aim and the
gun port?
That was a situational game that highlighted e5’s strong points, but few
games are like that when playing it. Also, it seems that he had a very good
crew and the enemyes did’t know where to shoot it when they had the
opportunity. Apparently they were all set for the cuppola.
He obviously forgot he was no longer fighting the VK-B in the HEAT of the
moment.
As long as the best tank in the game isn’t Russian I’m happy
i have 2 ace tanker games in your favorite tank, the t110e3. one on a
defeat even. i also have a wonderful example of arty balance and map design

Here’s a replay of mine for you, Circon.

Wolverine. 11 kills and Kolobanov’s

It’s always polite to take advantage of up track into hull shots.
This tank makes my german E100 obsolete. Its flat armor has no function to
the heat shells, the 150mm gun cant do nothing on AP and HEAT bounces on

The cupola was stupidly annoying because it was so easy to pen and easy to

open and you can’t pen the LFP or it trolls you isn’t fine.
I do have a 6k damage game in a KR lol that was a good game
