The stuff at 7.7 already take effort penning the Maus.
6.7s is even more so.
Maus is balanced at 7.7.

maus is balanced at 7.7, you can do a lot of work in it, if you expect it to play like a king tiger well… its well over twice as heavy, you play it different
Historically the KV-1 should be 3.7 and the M41A1 walker bulldog should be 7.7. If this game had historical matchmaking, I would be one of many people to quit

Historical match making has nothing at all to do with BR’s - ther are literally hunfreds of games that can manage to use it - table-top, computer and board games all have cases where opponents are limited to some form of “historical” without any problem at all.
A historical MM mode for WT would rate equipment by its effectiveness vs historical opponents only and you would “pay” for it somehow - not be coralled into BR ranges - so a KV-1 in 1941 might cost 100 pts and a Pz-3E 25 or something like that.

WOT does that, and look how it is mocked in this community, some vehicles are better than others from its time, and that’s just fact.
And that is why you “pay” more for them to be fielded - you don’t jsut get 1 KV-1 for every Pz3 - you get 4, 5, 10 Pz-3’s per KV…
WoT is mocked for lots of things - I dont’ play it so I dont’ know how it works, but I have played tabletop, computer and board games for half-a-century that work perfectly well with historical MM.
It seems to me that most WT players simply have no concept of how such MM works and so make up specious arguments like yours out of ignorance.

The 2nd prototype maus was completed and actually sent to fight the Red Army, it just broke down on the way and was destroyed by its crew to prevent it’s capture.
no thanks
this is typical German behavior, they sent children as young as 12 to defend berlin
Holy cope…
It does fine at 7.7.
It is only a problem now that you have it.
76 sherman vs Maus, yummy.
Yeah, if war thunder implemented a game mode where it was historical but still balanced, eg 5 Sherman’s for each tiger, that would be fine. If they just slam us with historical matchmaking, we will get 15 mauses vs 15 Sherman firefly’s
No wonder people meme on germany with takes like these

Well…playing against it at 7.0 would be fun for sure!!!
Maus works fina as it is…it is WAY SLOW…but that is what it is supposed to be…
Other than that it has more armor and firepower than most things at its BR…
Wanting to be (almost) invulnerable and having a killer gun makes a very poor balance argument to agree with…
They kind of tried that.
Had stuff like pz3 and t28s fight. You could save up sp to take out a early t34 or panzer4 but each team was limited to 2 of those.
Once those got spawned, people just sort of sat in the spawn screen to wait to join in or just left.
