With the upcoming artillery nerf rebalancing coming, I thought it would be interesting to explore what artillery could do realistically. I have previously looked at how well HE works in real life, and it seems to work pretty well with even small calibers. Large calibers, like 152 mm, work even better.

The thing is, these tests only cover what happens on direct impacts, which, as any artillery player will tell you, are few and far between. Even the Object 261, heralded for its accuracy among the SPGs, has an accuracy of 0.42, which is pretty miserable for a tank, especially when shooting all the way across the map.

The E-series (Entwicklung-typen) program started in 1942, as a project to discover new solutions in the field of tank building. The head of the program was Heinrich Kniepkamp, a competent commander, and talented engineer. By the end of the war, he held 50 patents relating to tracked vehicles. It is worth mentioning that not a single company involved with the project has ever built tanks before. The German high command predicted that this will result in the most original approach to the problems at hand. Even though not a single E-series tank was mass produced, and most only got as far as blueprints and wooden mockups, one could say that this was a successful project. The E-series are considered the peak of German technological thought.
