Oh some general observations, from some of the stats I've seen among the more active players of the clan -- those at higher tiers seem to peak performance-wise with their Tier 7s or 8s. After that, the stats feature a drop in general performance, likely in part to bad MM/Team composition at higher tiers (in other words volatility). There are some outliers of course -- see Touma's T30 stats or Kimi's Centurion mkI -- but it's kind of rare for us to have a win percentages bigger than 50% on tier 8s and up.
The E-75 was expensive .. but I grinded the credits on my Lowe, sold all my excess modules and sold the Comet I bought at a discount (man I hate that thing). I kept my Tiger 2 (for now) though. Moved my crew from the Tiger 2 to the E-75. It drives, shoots and fights like a much better Tiger 2, and I'm used to seeing Tier 9/10 in the Tiger 2 anyways so no difference there.

As for stats -- I speculate, and it is pure speculation at this point, that tier 8 is a very tough tier to play. It's almost like "the real world" of tanks..

I tend to see more high skill players consistently at that level both on my team and on the opposing team. Additionally, I find in most tier 8 tanks, you are so massively outclassed by Tier 9 that the power gap between 8-9 is much wider than between 7-8 and 9-10. I think my best stats with any reasonable number of battles is at Tier 7, I adore the Black Prince now (>57%) and T71 (>63%, which is a bit odd cause the T71 sees Tier 10). Part of it I feel has to be the "metagame" at that tier level for those vehicles. It apparently just suits me? For example, people love Tier 5 and the Pz4/M4/StuG .. any tank with HEAT is OP but I only have a 52% win rate on the Pz4? I am TERRIBAD at the StuG, look .. 37%!
