The King Tiger's Replacement - The E-75 Standardpanzer

The King Tiger is considered one of the most notorious and brutal tanks of the Second World War, however it did have its flaws. It was mechanically unreliable with having a bad habit of breaking down, it was rather underpowered for its huge size and the crews were rather inexperienced who would run the huge tank. However what did German tank designers have in mind to iron out these flaws?

The E-Series of German tanks were planned to create a standardised set of German tanks, and these were designed and planned during the latter stages of World War 2. None of the E-Series vehicles would ever make it to the battlefields, but the E-75 was the vehicle planned to replace the King Tiger.

This was a huge tank, the E-75 would weigh around 75 tons and be fitted with a better engine and gearbox. It would also feature a very powerful armament and more armour and its design hints at many different innovations and designs that would have made the mighty King Tiger/Tiger II rather obsolete. So join us today as we look at the 'King Tiger's Replacement, The E-75 Standardpanzer.'
