oh you dummy -.- the armour at its back is not up there and even maus in game has 160

tier X maus isnt historical in game too front is supposed to be 220mm and all around 190 but in game its 200/185/160 so i m pretty sure that this tank will not have any better back hull armour than tier X

USEREXT

why people cant damn read this shit right go get glasses people

Maus was produced with 128 kwk but there were 3 types for this tank on paper
128 kwk 44L55
128 kwk L72
150 kwk L60

on paper hitler wanted 44L55 first with the time moves it changed to L72 and at last project was to put 150mm canon which also can be seen in WT panther project

That is what im saying if you have 200mm pen you can pen maus on thr side and rear but your gun elevation in relation to the enemy is important, if you have to aim “up” the effective armor increases as well as the impact angle of the shell. You maybe not can get a straight shot when you flank since mostr shots will be from some kind of angle. How ever this is at tier 10, this mauschen will be at tier 9 and that changes alot since penentration increase alot after tier 8, and this will see tier 7.

In a tier 8 mediums with 180mm pen you dont expect to pen a maus at tier 10, but at tier 9 you expect to pen a heavy on the sides and rear due to the +1 MM only. That is why I say that E75 and vk45b are much easier to pen on the sides and rear as well as on their turret because they have less armor = better for flanking mediums that dont wanna use useless gold.

If you think like that all tanks have “no armor” since even 225mm pen guns can pen the maus and E100 in the lower plate if they get a good oen roll and or if enemy driving over a slope.

I recall reading something about Yuri Pashlok discovering documents that proposed equipping the Maus with a longer 128mm L/70 gun. that could be an alternative

The armour shouldn’t be a problem for tier 8′s as they already face tier 10 tanks every other game any way and there is no out cry about that.
as for tier 7′s well they shouldn’t be taking on tier 9 heavy’s any way let alone super heavy’s, when they do its either their own fault or the team has died and left them in the poop.
But the first weeks it go’s live will be fun with 10 of these on each side derping the hell out of each other , there will even be the odd 15 v 15 game the first few days as well lol

I was talking about a tier 10 Maus with a 15cm gun, like “usertext” wanted.
225mm pen are…ok…for a tier 9 heavy. It’s not really good, but you can deal with it, if you aim a bit carefully. You can penetrate every other tier 9 heavys frontal armor nearly reliable, if you aim at the weakspots (except E75 and angled ST-I)

The penetration seems pretty fair, if you consider the armor it has. Plus it has ~ the same RoF as an E100…

Yay…because the VK B isnt slow enuff…

I dont think I’m going to like it. Every single person these days, be it unicum or bob, constantly shoots the VK B roof’n’cupola which renders its frontal armor useless. The armor on this Mausie is going to be ever more useless because the cupola is a freakin big piece of grill. Its a insta pen spot for t10, pretty much most of t9 and some t8.

I’m 100% sure that it will be changed few times after the swap

Oh yea – If we have a fully researched VK B, I assume that we will get fully researched Mausie ? Or at least exp compensation to research its modules ?

Regular Maus has 200mm Front 180 hard side 105mm side skirt 160mm rear
Turret is solid at 240mm front 210mm sides and 200mm rear (maybe 210 don’t remember to well) gold rounds should be taken into effect though tier 7s might as well forget it.
Tier 8s stand a chance with gold and MAYBE their AP rounds if it is at least 190.
