Don't think so. The german vehicle and unit list is completely full as well. There is some what-if stuff though, like the Panther F.

There's also the problem that a completely new turret was being designed for the E-50/E-75; and we have no idea what it looked like.

Icons *have* been done by others -- the "Das Reich" mod for MBT had them basically as:

Panther II = E-50
Tiger III = E-75
Mammut = E-100

JPz 38 D Hetzer = This actually replaced either the E-10 or E-25 on drawing boards; being a lengthened and re-engined Hetzer Chassis designed in Germany -- hence the 38(d).

The E-50/75 are on the same plate because they were to use the same external hull dimensions, the differences would be turrets and running gear (more roadwheels on E-75 to accommodate weight) -- and less internal space available on the E-75 due to thicker armor; while E-50 would have more space due to thinner armor.

Turrets for the E-50/75 are from top to bottom:

Large 10.5 cm Turret for E-75
Moderately sized 10.5 cm Turret for E-50
Normal Sized 8.8 cm L71 turret for E-50
