- Issue one: Being oneshot by ANY high cal HE shells and/or HE variants from the front.
This is a very common problem all of us maus players experience, ANY variant of high explosive type shells cripples you.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Due to laws of physics about how high/med/low pressure gas wants to exit the path of least resistance into the air outside the tank, this is what SHOULD happen.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Example: HE and HESH both oneshot your tank when they shouldnt.

Evidence why it shouldnt:

What SHOULD happen if HE or HESH pens you on your vents DUE to bulkheads of 20mm~:
Purple= explosive high pressure gas entering from pen zone
yellow= explosive low/medium pressure gas leaving
Example:

What SHOULD happen if your mantlet gets shot by HE or HESH and you get pinned via a HE bug or highpen HESH in the mantlet DUE to vents AND Bulkheads of 20mm~:
Purple= explosive high pressure gas entering from pen zone
yellow= explosive low/medium pressure gas leaving
Example one:
Example two if your first 20mm bulkhead SOMEHOW got penned:

What SHOULD happen if you get shot by HE on your roof and it pens:
Purple= explosive high pressure gas entering from pen zone
yellow= explosive low/medium pressure gas leaving
Orange= gas that didnt enter

Example Two if bulkhead somehow get pinned:

What SHOULD happen if HE or HESH pens your LFP or UFP on the front.
Purple= explosive high pressure gas entering from pen zone
yellow= explosive low/medium pressure gas leaving

Issue two: The Maus is very slow due to its weight, both turret and mobility wise. Against MBTS in a full upteir you have almost no chance if they are smart.
However, due to it having APHE-DS it is a semi-fair trade off.

Issue three: Due to how the Maus is set up uniquely in game it is also busted against things like WW2 tanks, for example TIGER’s, IS2’s, T44’s and so on.
