-Towards the later half of World War II, Nazi Germany began the planning of the ''Entwicklung'' series of tanks in an attempt to standardize the tank designs. E-100 was the heaviest tank to be standardized in the E-series as a analogue to the [[Maus]]. The E-100 was proposed by the Adler company they began development of the vehicle, though its progress was limited due to other priorities in the war effort. By the end of the war, the Allied forces captured the German factories and testing grounds, where they discovered the partially completed E-100 hull. The hull was examined, evaluated, and ultimately scrapped in the post-war period.

 Introduced in [[Update 1.53 "Firestorm"]], the monstrous E-100 is a very rare trophy vehicle that is only given out in events. The tank's turret is identical to that of its counterpart, the Maus, but it features a completely different hull that is lower and more compact in its dimensions. Additionally, the E-100 has improved mobility compared to the "Maus," though this super-heavy tank still falls short in mobility when compared to most other heavy tanks. A distinctive feature of the vehicle is the presence of armor skirts along both sides, providing good protection against shaped charges and anti-tank guided missiles. Nonetheless, with the support of allies, the E-100 remains a formidable tank for opponents.

-The E-100 could only be obtained in the special tournament events, making its acquirement rare to the point of being one of the rarest tanks in the game. It was first available in the "[[wt:en/news/3493--en|Teutonic Giants]]" tournament held from a time span of January to March 2016. It was made available again in [[wt:en/news/5081-esport-victory-tournament-series-celebrating-war-thunder-s-5-year-anniversary-en|War Thunder's 5th Anniversary tournaments]], then again in the [[wt:en/news/5863-esport-war-thunder-s-6th-birthday-tournaments-en|War Thunder's 6th Birthday tournaments]].

-The E-100 looks like a more sleek version of the [[Maus]], or perhaps a more practical one. The two share the same default camouflage scheme of the yellow ''Dunkelgelb'' and green ''olivgrün'' paint. The two super-heavy tanks also share the same turret design with the 128 mm primary armament along with a coaxial 75 mm and machine gun. The big difference in design though is that the E-100 has a turret at the centre of the tank hull, making it unable to really cover the engines. Also, the side armour that is curved makes this Super Heavy tank a rare one.

-The E-100 is played similar to the Maus, with the same armaments and similar armour rating. However, the E-100 has the benefit of increased mobility due to its improved chassis. The E-100 can thus be somewhat more suitable in moving from cover, but close quarter combat is still not recommended due to its still relatively slow movement, long reloads, and the lethal anti-tank armaments the other Rank V vehicles are bound to have, including the now prominent [[Anti-tank guided missiles]]. In a down-tier, the E-100 can be played much more aggressively and has to put pressure on the enemy team in order to be impactful. The psychological factor makes it easier to achieve this goal as this tank is a very feared foe and can, in fact, turn the tide of the game. However, down-tiers should be taken seriously as your enemies will be focused on taking you out. Picking the right targets is also something that an E-100 driver has to master to get good games. When facing light and an armoured target the main gun should always be used to destroy the strongest tank while the 75 mm gun takes care of the squishy one. Even when facing weaker opponents the turret has to be angled between each shot in order to avoid shot traps. When the E-100 gets an up-tier you should get to cover as quickly as you can and play it ''extremely'' carefully as any shell may be enough to take you out or at least cripple you. The 128 mm is not as effective as you now have to aim for weak spots on tanks like the T-55AM-1 and the 75 mm should become a smoke dispenser.

 ===E-100===
-Of the designs, the E-100 was the most radical in terms of design. The E-100 was proposed to be the basis of heavy artillery, anti-aircraft, tank, and tank destroyer on the battlefield. The design concept began alongside the [[Maus|super-heavy Maus]] in June 1943 and was intended that the design would use components from the Tiger II and the Maus turret. In March 1944, Henschel submitted the blueprint of the design, which would use the Maus turret and parts from the Tiger II, namely the turning mechanism and transmission. The design proposed the usage of a 700 hp Maybach HL230 used in nearly every German heavy tanks or a newer 1200 hp Maybach engine. The difference in the design from the Tiger II basis was a 90 cm diameter road wheel and spring suspension rather than torsion-bars. The turret was to be a new design different from the Maus, in that it is simpler and lighter.

 However ambitious the project was, Hitler ordered in July 1944 that work on all super heavy tanks be cancelled. However, the E-100 was still developed with low priority, only three Adler workers were reported to have been working on the prototype after the order. The prototype was never completed and in April 1945, the American 751st Field Artillery Battalion captured the prototype, of which was simply the hull with the roof barely completed. The prototype was sent to Britain by the British Army for evaluation before being scrapped.
