Notice how i haven’t listed them in the list i have made on the advantages of the Maus, those disadvantages are highlighted in the ridiculous higher tiers that the Maus is being put at, because everything revolves around HEAT-FS and extreme mobility. Of course they will remain disadvantages even in lower tiers, rightfully so.
Looks like the “Bad Armor scheme” is still able to defend the vehicle from the most powerful allied guns of the time lmao
I think what you’re trying to do here is fight a strawman. This discussion is about the Maus’ performance in War Thunder, not in real life. Obviously in the war of numbers that was WW2 the maus was a very bad tank, i mean, you can’t even load that thing on trains to get it to the front. Except in war thunder you don’t have to do this because your tank will just spawn on the battlefield.(perhaps if War Thunder really wants to achieve this HOLY realism they will implement those mechanics sometime, or even fuel mechanics too, hell we might even have to build our vehicles ourselves from the factory if we really want true realism!)
You mean the virtual war on the virtual battlefields of War Thunder? You know there isn’t really a war right, there’s just Tech Trees that contain vehicles from exclusively one nation, there’s no actual war between those nations, it’s just a video game :)
Maybe you’re talking about the performance of the Maus irl, but that would be off topic and you would have noticed this by now right?
For this plan to work it would need to be very OP when spawned like a Nuke. 6.7 I would think is the highest it could be and still be sufficiently OP. A full BR reduction doesnt feel all that special though.
Then it would need to cost the same SP as a nuke.
It’s still sad that we have to make it a special vehicle that we can play with SP, when the situation could be resolved with a few BR changes.
But you’re arguing your poorly designed tank should receive preferential treatment
At the end of the day, as I said it will likely always come down to the few truths I already stated.
Even if we get full BR decompression or a new BR system the Maus will struggle because it’s always going to face the late WW2 and early/mid Cold War tanks because it’s too much of a tank to face purely WW2 tanks.
And specialty tanks like that are always going to suffer. Same with the FV4005 and other novelty designs.
Good, now i know you just didn’t read what i wrote.
And you are arguing every WW2 german tanks should face post war vehicles because they are german, you’re just hating on things that are german.
You keep saying it’s a poorly designed tank and at the same time arguing that it shouldn’t face WW2 tanks because it’s too powerful, when this tank was made during WW2, you’re just contradicting yourself it’s unbelievable lmao
Which “truths”? All you have done is telling us a bunch of lies about how the Maus cannot be balanced when in reality it can, and it will once the BR system is fixed. You haven’t provided a single argument that i have not deconstructed, you’re in denial man, why do you hate the Maus that much? Or since I’ve seen your stats i guess you just want to keep the Maus as free food because it’s the only vehicle that you can destroy, but that’d just be a skill issue.
Exactly, and since it’s too much of a tank to face purely WW2 tanks, the best solution is to place it at a BR where it faces a majority of WW2 tanks, but it can still encounter a few cold war tanks with HEAT-FS that will stop it in its tracks.
In the end, whatever you might think, it’s the facts that count. And the facts tell us that the Maus can be balanced if we fix the BR system in the way I, and many others, have told you.
Faced a Maus today in my IS-7, penned one of its turret cheeks and got the assist. Another then clapped/sniped me as I chased someone out of their Spawn.
They are literally contemporary vehicles, a few months apart between production start (if the Maus would have ever made it to mass production). They should absolutely fight each other
Bringing down the maus in br will only create bigger problems in matchmaking. It’s fine at 7.7 and when you actually know how to use it (which seems to be a rare thing nowadays) you can easely go 6 to 0 minimum.
Slight br demcompresion can help with the rocket spam, but i personally have no difficulty using it where it is today.
Would reccomend trying a different playstyle if you’re struggeling with it. It has 2 great guns and when you stay at a distance and angle they can’t do much to you.
And if you learn how to read the match, it can really boost your gameplay. Push when you can but also don’t be afraid to fall back and wait for others.
Last but not least, if they would just fix the internal armour that got removed since the last update or never existed in the first place, it can help a lot with compartment protection.
So i suggest players to go to the bug report site to press the “i have the same isseu” so this gets reworked sooner aswell.
Well after not using the Maus for a very long time - Im really not sure what they’ve done to it.!
You literally cannot drive and turn ! Literally the darn thing stops then turns then starts, then stops then starts… Think someone here has lowered the turn rate a little tooo much!?? Despite its super weight, iot ws never tht sluggish! For a vehicle that was described as nimble for its weight class!!
One has a turret and the other don’t. Don’t mention T95 - I feel so bad for them.
I do agree that something feels odd with Maus and it’s turn time. Prolly has something to do with dumb gear shifting and stuff.
