E-100 is not a paper designs because the Hull was built and some turrets.
and E-100 Turret was not fully built but i found this image
you can see E-100 turret. Range finder boxes image from Krupp Factory .
E-100 is not paper tank like the Tiger II 10.5cm which had nothing built for it that’s what i think is a paper tank is.
Also please correct me if that image is fake or really !
For more wonder weapons, a huge yes!
This image seems to be real, it was reproduced in a Military Website;
Isnt that just a 2nd maus turret
i think thats a spare Maus turm
yeh cos wasnt the current maus that sits in russia made up of like several welded together or some shit
no it was the v1 hull mated to the v2 turret. (or other way around)
no pieces were used.
Yeah hull from Maus with fake turret and turret from destroyed Maus.
Its just regular turret with some shit on top, also there is no big hatch in rear.
I want.
Also also there was a lot of armored shells of hulls and turrets and fun fact, hulls from 8 onwards were cut for Maus II turm and had better hull ventilation (only two were worked on when war ended).
Hulls from 7 onwards also have somewhat different side armor and suspension.
yeah. because of this, we can technically suggest the Maus II. and it would be in line with War Thunders Suggestion standards
I’d love to see this added alongside the 155mm Gun Tank T58 and IS-7 model 1946. That’s three very unique heavy tanks for the upper-mid BRs!
I found another document, for the L/36,5 gun, when fireing the 5,83-5,84 kg K.Gr. (pre round to Sprgr.34)
It reached 470m/s, the lighter 5,74kg Sprgr.34 would reach a higher velocity.
i see zero reason for it to not be added if they gonna give russia 15inch guns they never had this is fine
+1 for more maus
+1 I would love to see this in-game!
+1 but with the E 100 turret and not the Maus II turret. The Maus turret was deemed too heavy for E 100 and that applied to both the original Maus turret and the Maus II turret which is why the lighter E 100 turret exists in the first place.
The Maybach HL234 was the intended replacement engine for the E-100. It had been promised by Maybach that the HL234 with supercharging and higher grade fuel would be able to achieve 1,200 hp. However, even with these modifications, the engine was only able to achieve 900 hp.
There’s an error here, the Maybach HL 234 only utilized fuel injection and not both fuel injection and supercharging. Supercharging the engine was abandoned for the HL 234 as it increased the output to 1000 which was not seen enough of an improvement to pursue. Not only this, while the HL 234 was capable of 900 horsepower the production version of the Maybach HL 234 ran at 850 horsepower as per waffenamt requirements as it was unstable at 900 horsepower.
The most important changes to the HL 234 to achieve this power were the fuel injection system, improved volumetric efficiency and an increased compression ratio from 6.4:1 on the 230 to 7:1 on the 234. There are a lot of small changes that also factor into the increased output, but those are the 3 most important.
Going back to the engine horsepower out, 5 Maybach HL 234 engines were constructed with 2 representing the final model, the French were able to seize all HL 234 engines and even installed the HL 234 onto the Char 40t What do the French have to say about the output of the engine?
The French list the Maybach HL 234 having an output of 850 horsepower, backing up the claim for 850 horsepower and not 900.
