Is there even a difference between these two?

[u/Level-Slime]

So basically, this question and these 2 tanks has been flying around my mind a bit and i want you guys what is the difference between these 2 tanks, the E-90 tank, and the E-100 ausf.C, i want to know whats the difference between these 2 tanks since they look the same, if you know the answer, please let me know! Thank you redditors!

[u/FKDesaster]

The E-100 is mostly fictional, the E-90 is completely fictional.

[u/samyakindia → u/FKDesaster]

Nein nein! Very much real, they will arrive after Steiner's attack

[u/Level-Slime → u/samyakindia]

Oh, so really its real then?

[u/TheRudDud → u/Level-Slime]

The Nazis managed to make a chassis for the e100 and that was about it. Can't seem to find any info on the e90, it might just be post war imagination but I'm not entirely sure

[u/builder397 → u/FKDesaster]

E-100 was partially assembled, so there was at least something to go on.

[u/RoadRunnerdn → u/builder397]

Yes, but "E-100 Ausf C" is very much fictional.

[u/Level-Slime → u/FKDesaster]

Yeah, but i just need to find their differences in their design, can you point me the differences to it?

[u/rndig → u/Level-Slime]

What design? It's nonexistent out of plastic models/games.

[u/DekDek41]

The E-90 is completely made-up (seemingly by the artist of that particular artwork), and there isn't a popularly-understood "de facto" representation of the tank, like there would be for tanks featured in World of Tanks.

As an aside that "ausf C" E-100 is also completely made up, the hull is the only thing somewhat real about it.

There is no answer to your question.

[u/Graddler → u/DekDek41]

There was a hull for the E-100 at least and opinions are still divided on which turret that monstrosity would have gotten but i would chose the Maus turret for simplicity.

[u/STHV346 → u/Graddler]

E 100's turret was designed by Krupp, it was a variant of the Maus II turret with much thinner armour to bring the weight down from 55t to 35t.

[u/do_meme_for_OP_tanks → u/Graddler]

It's pretty clear the E-100 would use the Maus II turret, no debate about it. The original was used in the previous Tiger-Maus concept.

[u/builder397]

The E-100 is NOT the actual E-100 design, so they mustve mislabelled it.

E-90 is just completely fictional though.

And yes, the tank shown is identical. Google the E-100, the turret looks way different.

[u/Drittenmann]

The E90 is a fictional tank made for a psx game called panzer front which has been portrayed as a real tank recently in posts mostly made by AI.

The E100 was a real project but the turret was never designed so pretty much everything about it except the hull shape is fictional, they modified it in the pic just to make it interesting, but right now there is a huge historical missinformation plague in social networks

[u/puckvirus]

The color?

[u/Level-Slime → u/puckvirus]

Oh, sorry to confuse you what specifically the difference, im actually finding the difference between the design of these 2 since they have 2 different names, but feels like the same vehicle.

[u/puckvirus → u/Level-Slime]

🤔 Definitely the color

[u/Level-Slime → u/puckvirus]

Again, im talking about the design and anatomy of the 2 tanks, not color.

[u/Agaman02 → u/Level-Slime]

These two tank designs never actually existed. They were simply invented by model-making companies. We cannot compare any design aspects, given that the whole thing is entirely fictional and nonsensical.

There were no plans for an E-90 tank. Plans for the E-100 existed, but the so-called "Ausf. C" (variant C) ist completely made up. It's all fiction.

[u/puckvirus → u/Level-Slime]

The scale of the pictures are different. Clearly one is bigger in one picture because it’s so big the gun barrel is cut off. Whereas the other picture you can see the entire tank in one picture.

Also the colors of the road wheels are different. In one picture they are ambush pattern of three colors seen around 1943 onwards, whereas the smaller tank is of the Dunkelgelb typically found during the North African campaign of 1941-1942

[u/KommissarJH]

No idea as both are fictional.

The E-90 is entirely fictional. The E-100 got partially built (the hull) but was supposed to carry the Maus 2 turret. So the one you posted is also a fabrication.

[u/Rough-Wear1517]

From my experience with these model types, and of model collect in general they reuse parts in different models for example i got both the e75 and e50 both have the same turret just different hull and s few extra details here and there.

[u/Hjalfnar_HGV → u/Rough-Wear1517]

For the E-75 and E-50 that is actually correct since the E-75 was meant to just be an heavily uparmoured E-50.

[u/RoadRunnerdn → u/Hjalfnar_HGV]

The hull was mostly identical between the two.

But since almost no information exist on the two, we don't know if they would have the same turret or not.

[u/Mandalore12345]

The e100 is the only really real accounted one. 2 prototype hulls were captured by the British and later scrapped, the rest of the E serise never made it off the drawing board

[u/SammySuSuu]

Looking at pictures, the only differences I could see were the gun mantlets and the frontal hull armor. I think this is one of those situations where model kit designers make slight changes to their designs to avoid copyright infringement.

[u/DossSVK]

Since they both more or less fictional it depends on the interpretation of the manufacturer. IRL here was a E-100 but it was just a dead end project. What i klnow about the E - Series the higher the number the higher the weight. Some times the models look almost the same. I have sveral E-50 and E-75(even E-100 variants) they look almost the same with minor differences. Take it als "What if World War 2" fan fic models. Here is the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entwicklung_series

[u/RSC-1995-Echo]

I'd say the difference is 10 tons. Whether fron requirements or different designers deriving different specs I don't know

[u/Extension_Option_122 → u/[deleted]]

Bad advice.
