          • I’m no tank expert buton the right side of the mantlet (when facing it), there is too much armor coverage extending to the right of the turret than there should actually be..

            On the leftside the port of the coaxial machine gun? (is that what it is?) looks a bit too long in length. The sleeve of armor that also covers the base of that port also looks like it extends out farther than the one in carramba’s image.

            If am wrong, feel free to correct me.

            • I think that’s just the perspectives playing tricks with you, the overall shape being rather complex. The mantlet actually protrudes fairly far forward and slopes towards the edges so the central part around the main barrel obscures an awful lot of detail on the “far side” in the photo.
              And between the relatively straight-on angle of the photo and the angle of the screenshots where the coaxial 75mm is almost entirely obscured by the main-gun barrel, good luck making heads or tails out of it.

              Anyways, comparing with the nice collection of photos here (the site seems to be kinda full of shit in general – E-79 & The Collected Fakes, lolz – but the gallery of period pix is ok) the model seems to pass muster from what I can see: http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/PANZERKAMPFWAGEN%20VIII%20MAUS.htm

    • Can’t spot clear differences apart from the armor part behind the gun mantlet.
      And yeah that “Sorry your posting too fast” message is annoying.

      • Mous in kubinka is a mix up from Mous 1 hull and Mous 2 turret , when the red army captured turret of mous 1 was to damaged to be saved so they kind off mix the tho

  1. Could you please tell me which tanks will be remodeled in 9.0 next to these and the Tiger,Sherman,T-54?

  2. All the fancy graphics and physics are worthless if the game mechanics stay the same old f*cking sh!t, like the MM, the f*cked up visibility system, or the exaggerated randomness. WG = too dumb to create a good game.

  3. am I the only one who absolutely hate the lightning ?

    its awesome in garage, but the battlefield ???
    it was excellent in 8.10-8.11 … now it so bright and that contrast ? It looks like a cartoon.
    seriously.. I hope its just my drivers .. because it really looks like a joke…

    • I somehow agree to this. In test all maps, textures and colors are somehow way too “contrasty” to my eye compared to normal 8.10 variant :)

  4. I bet storm dont play on all max, uness he want really low fps with microfreeze and shit. these graphics are totally insignificant because no machine no matter how good they are can play max with 100 fps, while the very same machines can do it in other multiplayer games looking better than wot. Fail.I bet 90% of all players cant play all max and get over 60 fps or stable 60 fps, is max settings only meant to be played at 40 fps or similar? We have fucking people with nearly 5ghz i7 4770k and SLI 780ti having around 50-60 fps on all max. And thats bullshit considering the very same machine would run bf4 multiplayer all ultra with 80-120 fps or similar.

  5. Somehow the lighting in non-premium garage looks way better than in premium one.
    And Hellcat… a bit unnatural, but Maus looks just pure awsome :)
