How do you like the T28 Proto? I've been thinking about getting it but the open top and the lack of traverse really makes it uninteresting for me since it look to be a base camper.
I don't dislike the E-50... I just don't like it very much in comparison to the panther 2. Its a very smooth tank for sure, but it doesn't do anything "well". Good acceleration, good speed, good gun, ok armor... but dps is not great, gun is not that punchy, frontal engine, etc. With all that I still do fairly decently on it.
edit: New medium stats up:

Indienpanther looks great. 8rpm on the 9cm at tier 8 makes it the best DPS gun in the tier. 212 pen is awesome at that tier... long 88 only has 202 pen.
Now the bad news: from the forums.
"Indienpanzer, Prototype A and Leopard 1 all have the worst track stats for their class/tier. Indienpanzer has 2.9 aimtime and 0.22 track bloom, beating the T-34-2 for clumsiest gun handling. At least it gets good dpm and pen, though! The two Leopards at least have faster aim times, 2.3 and 1.9 seconds. Indienpanzer has the new BEST dpm at tier8 that's not on a premium tank or TD.
Prototype has 0.2 track bloom, Leopard 0.18. This is the first time that the autoloader light/medium does not have the worst soft stats at tier compared to other mediums. The Lorraine and Batchat have less track bloom (but slower aiming guns). Applies to both driving and turning.
Scout Panther at tier7 has the best gun handling track stats of the new tanks at 0.16, tied for best among tier7 lights. It ALSO gets the fastest aim time on a tier7 light. "
Also only -6 degrees on leopard prototype. Shitty gun depression hits once again!
