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.
