E-75 BLM

The **E-75 “*Standardpanzer*”** was intended to replace the Tiger II tank. For ease of manufacture, the vehicle was to be built on the same production lines as its predecessor, and share as many components as possible.

On paper, the E-75’s upper front plate was angled at **60 degrees** (compared to 55 for the Tiger II) Drafts showed that the upper front plate was meant to be **150mm** for the E-75, increasing the effective thickness to around **300mm**. Statistics of the turret was vague however, some proposed that the E-75 uses an enlarged Tiger II Krupp turret, others believed it was a completely new design.

**Sadly, not a single E-75 sample was ever built.**

The **E-75 BLM (*Besondere Leistung Modernisiert*)** is the main battle tank variant of the original E-75 in **an alternative timeline**. It features **explosive reactive armour (ERA)**, **modular composite armour** on the turret and a **thermal sight** for the gunner.
