Side armor only plays a role based on skill of the player.
Maus is on-par with T32E1, and they all can deal with 8.7s with others, which your team has as well.
Maus has two guns, more armor all around, better pen and more explosive filler with similar reload time with the t32e1. the only thing the t32e1 is better at is its mobility.
The Maus has 1 main gun and a smoke launcher.
Similar pen.
Similar armor when angled, worse armor when not.
And worse mobility than the Maus.
Buddy it has two guns because both can fire shells that can kill
Last time I checked APCBC 312mm of pen from the 128mm and 224mm APCBC from the 90mmis NOT similar. Am I wrong?
Maus has over 200mm of amor when not angled frontally. Sure the t32e1 has more turret armor but thats it.
And yes thats what i said
