Why is the Maus's 75 mm secondary gun's range so short?

Custom sights are legal, go to UserSights folder, move the attached .blk into germ_pzkpfw_Maus folder. And then put Maus in test drive, go to option, select Ground vehicle Battle Settings, select UserSight on the top, on the right select Reticle, on the drop down list select MAUS_AP. You can do this even when you already ingame, after you put the blk into the folder then press Alt+F9 to refresh.

I’ve actually modified quite a bit from the original to fit my preferences, if you don’t like something I can change it for you

Looks a bit too advanced for me, haha. I can’t figure out what the curved lines on the side mean.

You only need to know the range values, on the right side is the 75mm, the values is meter, 1 means 100m, the reason its slightly to the right is because of the barrel offset is off center, because our sight is located at the end of the main barrel, then you see it gradually getting closer to the middle as the range increase, the black dot is where the 75mm would lands. Try it on test drive maybe for 5-10 minutes you will like this setup, soon your Maus KD will drastically goes up.

I’ll probably get blown up before I even figure it out, haha.

26

No, it’s easy. Example: target range at 750m

Every time I read a БЕИ post I can’t tell if it’s satire or they’re serious. They definitely know what they’re doing wow.

If there is more than two bros in one sentence then its 99% chance I am shit posting.

I think I’ve figured out how to use this gunsight.

33

Indirect fire on stationary target using binocular

  1. range find with binocular
  2. put the cross of your binocular on target/hitbox
  3. adjust your sight to the correct target range and do not move the barrel
  4. fire
  5. to see if the target still there then use binocular again, hodl the fire button then switch back to your gunner sight to fire again

Got it, thanks! Just one question: will this file get overwritten every time the game updates?

35

Nope, this sight I last edited probably 2-3 years ago.

Got it.
