The E 75 TS boasts a thick sloped front, side screens, and an extremely strong turret. Its fast-firing gun inflicts high damage per minute, aims quickly, and strikes its target accurately. This even-keeled German juggernaut rips the enemy defense open like a tin can! Get the superheavy E 75 TS, demolish your foes, and earn lots of credits!

Through October 25, you'll find two bundles in the Store: one with the E 75 TS and a Garage slot and one with a complete set featuring a fully-equipped E 75 TS with the Eagle Legendary camouflage and Underwater Menace Legendary avatar.

This warpaint represents the predatory nature of the E 75 TS at its finest. The tank keeps a watchful eye on the battlefield, patiently stalking before single-mindedly chasing its prey. It strikes with pinpoint accuracy and in cold blood, digging its deadly claws into the victim's armor.



The Eagle Legendary camouflage costs 1,450 gold, is effective on all map types, does not require replenishment, and changes the tank's name in battle to the E 75 TS Eagle. Attack the enemy like a merciless predator!


Is it that irrepressible? Strong armor? How much? And what about the fast-firing gun? For answers to these and other questions, check the precise numbers of the E 75 TS stats.

The E 75 TS is first and foremost durable armor. Its upper armor plate and turret front are almost invulnerable for standard shells of medium tanks and most Tier VIII heavies. The enemy will need at least 245 mm of penetration to damage the turret front, while the upper armor plate will be a tough nut to crack for even most Tier X guns!

The weak spot is the tank's lower armor plate. It can be easily penetrated, so whenever possible, hide behind cover or destroyed tanks. The terrain can also help. The 10-degree gun depression angle allows the E 75 TS to play in the American style. If there is no such opportunity, then approach your opponent head-on! When going toe-to-toe, the guns of most enemies simply cannot reach the lower armor plate, while the E 75 TS penetrates the defenseless top of the enemy's turret.



Another way for the E 75 TS to block damage is to sidescrape behind cover. In this position, the lower armor plate is hidden and the 120 mm side with its 15 mm shield is perfectly sloped for ricocheting. It's the perfect situation. You deal damage while taking none! The only drawback to this tank is that the front of its suspension can sometimes be penetrated, so it's better for you not to stay in the same place for a long time. Also, remember to always keep a Repair Kit on you.

The gun of the E 75 TS deals 2,086 damage per minute, among the best rates for Tier VIII heavy tanks. Combined with provisions and equipment, the E 75 TS can deal damage up to 2,400 HP! When you take aim at your opponent, its HP will melt as quickly as ice cream on a hot day!

The E 75 TS penetrates the hulls of most Tier VIII heavies with ease in spite of its modest 215 mm of penetration. However, it may experience some difficulties when dealing with the Tiger II or Tier IX vehicles. In this case, use APCR shells.

The gun of the E 75 TS features high accuracy, quick aiming, and small reticle dispersion when moving and turning the hull or the turret. Combined with strong armor, this means you'll be able to unleash the full potential of the E 75 TS' impressive firepower: play aggressively, hit frequently, and achieve penetration even when moving at full speed!

The engine of the E 75 TS has a difficult task to perform. It needs to move a huge 85-ton machine! It huffs and puffs, using all 780 horsepower to work, but it copes with its task with dignity, accelerating the tank to 20 km/h in 4-5 seconds and to 30 km/h in 10 seconds.

A price must be paid for the armor of the E 75 TS, which is its low power-to-weight ratio and slow chassis. A close encounter with a quick maneuverable tank may prove to be fatal. Use Improved Control or Engine Accelerator and take Standard or Improved Fuel when going into battle, and then enable Engine Power Boost when carouselling. Everything that can increase engine power or hull traverse speed also increases your chances of survival.



Such a heavy mass has its pros for the E 75 TS. If you happen to meet an unfortunate, lightly armored fellow on your way, just ram it without remorse! Successful ramming will deprive the opponent of 100-350 HP. You won't be able to resist laughing maniacally when a careless light tank explodes after bumping into you!

The E 75 TS was made for fighting face-to-face on the frontline with the most dangerous opponents. It's an armored wedge that you can force through the enemy's defense shell by shell, breaking through and paving the way to victory for your allies and yourself.

Welcome the new hero of the Valkyria Chronicles! The state-of-the-art imperial tank Vulcan] has arrived in World of Tanks Blitz straight from the epicenter of European War II. This well armed and perfectly armored combat vehicle will intimidate your enemies and tear them to pieces!

Until October 18, bundles featuring the brand-new Vulcan, as well as the iconic Edelweiss, Lupus, Nameless, and Hafen, are available in the Premium Store.

The Vulcan bears a very strong resemblance to German tank destroyers, despite the fact that it has a solid turret instead of casemate.



The first thing you notice about the Vulcan (characteristics) is its reliable armor. The front of the turret is 155 mm thick, while the hull is 160 mm. The sides are less armored, but still pretty impressive due to the protective shielding. Despite being quite well-armored, the Vulcan requires wise combat tactics. Its front is thick, but not invulnerable. To make sure you’ll live to the end of the battle, avoid open areas and use cover.

Although the Vulcan is a heavy tank, it is quite speedy for its class. The 900 hp engine and high specific power guarantee good dynamics. This vehicle can accelerate to 36 km/h and maintain its speed well. Additionally, the tank boasts great maneuverability as the Vulcan acts quickly and accurately, making it perfectly suited for dynamic second-line combat.



The new imperial “heavy” is armed with a 110 mm gun. Its penetration indicators are equal to the Nameless. However, the Vulcan’s AP and APCR shells deal more damage per shot at 350 HP and 290 HP respectively. That's enough to make enemies think twice before approaching.

This combination of solid armor, a powerful gun, and good maneuverability will let you support the offensive, break through enemy lines, and reduce anyone who gets in your way to ashes.

In Valkyria Chronicles, the Vulcan is in the service of the 502nd Imperial Heavy Tank Battalion, better known by its unit name Ausbruch. Its commanding officer was Lieutenant Colonel Klaus Walz. The tank was named after the Roman equivalent of the Greek god, the smith Hephaestus, who was associated with fire in all its aspects, including forges, metalworking, and volcanoes.
