You can legit put a MAUS at reserve and still be killed by CAS,whats your point about CAS problems?
“No one will play them unless they are fools”
I will play it just to spade it but thats fairly it

They tried that, but it did not go well.
Give you a hint, if you played and remember long enough, this game is over 13 years old.
Yeah, all the artillery having their way with a Maus does actually make some sense.
But if given a choice I would 10/10 pick to fight artillery pieces over most HEAT slingers. At least the artillery are just as big and loud as the Maus is, while not being all that hilariously mobile. They are the ideal counter to such superheavies.
Also, while you may technically be immune to standard AP rounds prior to the T-10M, if the guy isn’t dumb enough to shoot first, you cannot do anything.
Just ignore him. Some of these names tend to make comments less comprehensible opinions.
Tired of people saying
“Well…i got issues with CAS in that tank”
Forgeting that CAS will be an issue regardless of the br and or the vehicles you play
His point is probably that we have too many means to render heavies impotent.
HEAT or APDS light tanks. Derp HE. CAS. Barrel damage from any gun not using the aforementioned LOLpen rounds. There literally isn’t a single possible opponent in its current BR range which can’t kill or at least cripple it.
A 7.0 Maus would be dealt with the same way the T95 is. Tracked, barreled, and flanked or bombed into oblivion.
I get tired of “but muh Jumbo” more than I do CAS at this point.
Like legit any other vehicle,i was once in an uptiered match in my maus trying to spade it and still managed to get 9 kills before getting overrun by 5 dudes
Its just maybe how you play that tank in the first place
My tactic in that shit box its simple
Pick the nearest spot for sniping and if you know the range,the cannon will be to good use
(Try to use spots where you can bail out easily)

Jumbo its legit a good vehicle lmfao
Who complains about that Never mind i recalled something i retract this
It goes down like butter but the Jumbo can kill you like butter
It’s literally in the most perfect place rn for the entire game’s lifespan. Alot of vehicles with HEAT and ATGMs got uptiered while Maus stayed where it is and now you can actually utilize it properly.
Don’t play the Maus like most other tanks. You’re not supposed to be pushing or playing peek-a-boo, you’re supposed to hold points and snipe. A good Maus player puts massive fear into any enemy that plans to push down a lane you’re overseeing, make that your advantage. Also make sure to angle the Maus, because your armor is strong enough to make even APDS shatter. At any chance you’re starting to get surrounded, use your amazing reverse speed to retreat and smoke shells from the 75mm to quickly smoke off any points your enemies can come from. The Maus is the definition of a one-man army tank and players who utilize it well will give big headaches to even the best in the enemy team.

I am aware how to make it work - it just feels like to make it work you gotta play it against its whole point of having…armor. You gotta play it like an obese medium that’s made of glass, because the barrel sure as hell is, and even 6.0 light tanks can frontally pen you from considerable distance (Bulldog APDS).
Maus its a terrifying tank to deal with at range
Expecially when you have a decent team covering it

Only if M103 and T32E1 also go down to 7.3
Well thats how it always went
Take the Jagpanther and the Elephant
heavy armor frontally but they were meant to snipe not to face to face tanks
Yes it indeed is - it is the stereotype of “heavium.” Very good mobility for the amount of armor it has, a decent cannon, and enough armor to be trolly, especially hull down.
So many people say “you can’t downtier [insert vehicle], what will my fully uptiered Jumbo do?!” and I just got sick to death of people using Jumbos as the reason. Doesn’t matter if we are talking the 75 or 76 model, whiners about both are just as bad.
As a true heavium should.
If those had correctly performing ammo and access to all their ammo, both should either stay as is (T32) or go up (M103).
The T32’s APCR round should pen 373mm, and all APCR should spall like corresponding-size solid AP, not the useless needle it is most of the time today.
The M103 is stuck with “APCR that pens slopes” HEATFS and is completely missing its APDS with 546mm pen extrapolated from real data penning 495mm at 100 yards at a 30 degree slope from vertical.
Both of those are also much more mobile than the Maus or even the IS-3/IS-4M are.
No longer an issue when you get good AA players. I tend to be target number one for hostile aircraft cause I am that annoying for them, shot 5 of them in 1 match at a time, cause they all absolutely hated me.
Don’t agree with that last part; bailing out is cowardice.
Only makes sense to push when you have tons of them.
Nah my Olifant MK1A still need blood.
You cant just continue to tank rounds after you get hit or got a disabled turret
You bail out,repair and continue to unleash hell on them
You get way more kills by doing that,having that EGO like 1 death leaver would usually kill you in game
