As per title, id just like to know which shell I can use on the M47 to Kill a Maus from the front in 1 shot.
And I do mean 1 shot.
Thank you in advance.
There aren’t many shells in the game that can oneshot a Maus frontally, even large high power APHE or artillery sized HE are inconsistent in doing that.
For the M47 you should use the HEATFS for a maus frontally, but don’t expect to kill him in one shot unless he has taken damage before.
The only way for you to oneshot a maus to begin with is by hitting his side armor and the ammo rack behind it.

Then forget M47, get a plane with a bomb. Considering that there will be two crewmember in the chassis (driver and “machine gunner” aka assistant driver) you can’t one-shot-one-skill a Maus. Firstly you usually target the gunner, then the driver and whoever takes the gunner seat or aim for the secondary 75 mm cannon ammo to cause ammo detonation in the turret and target the driver.
Oh, ok. So its impossible then?
Can you explain why it just happened to me in game then, while driving a Maus, which was completely undamaged??
You can just kill the gunner with HEAT-FS and flank to shoot the ammo, unless the ammo is in the turret.
Oh that is classic overpressure being glitchy.
You can see it’s overpressure because the crew are all gone before the damage card even shows the spall formation. He just got super lucky and the maus got super unlucky. Guy hit the literal magic pixel to oneshot you when 99.99999% of the tank will eat at least 2+ shots to kill.
You wish, you can consistenly oneshot the MAUS to this weakspot with HEAT
HEAT-FS is all you should be using, your standard APHE wont hurt a Maus and well APCR is a running joke.
You also should not take a Maus head on, you should flank or if you must disable the gun and then kill it at your leisure.
Not impossible, just incredibly unlikely.
