Fix the Maus struggling against power crept shits instead of adding this turd to the game… Oh, that would take logical decisions, sorry for asking.
Not much they can do with the Maus… it was a garbage design realistically…
maybe giving it a JgTiger’s gun, or better reload… Many Maus players just go full gold, because the DPM and pen are garbage. Enemy wait until you point your gun at them, and you don’t even pen…
Can’t do much with the Maus itself but altering premium ammo from its pay to win characteristic to something used during specific situations would help.
Put it at T9 and leave it as is
Well Maus was a garbage tank because in reality you have resources (fuel) which maus used a lot. And also If you had a bunker or on this case mobile bunker (maus) you cold use aircraft to easly tak it down. Other than that maus was slow tank.
On the other case it was invulnerable to enemy tanks fire.
In WoT you dont have fuel limit or airtafts…
Not gonna lie, I do perfectly well in the Maus without firing gold at all. It’s amazing what happens when you know how to use a tank effectively. I wouldn’t mind seeing a small buff to the rate of fire, but there are other tanks that need help far more than the Maus.
pls tell me more about how to use maus, when every tard pens its turret frontally with gold, when you point your gun at them… (t54, t62a, obj, 140, and other mediums)
Wait until they fire to point your gun at them, or just take the hit, fire, and angle the turret again. With the low RoF on its 12.8cm gun, your turret should rarely be facing the enemy for any extended period of time. It’s not that hard.
I agree, Maus is my favorite tier 10, its stats are fine and other tanks need the help more.
gyeprefos the gold is not a problem since they can easily pen with the regular shell as well. The trick on how to use the maus is trading since it has the best HP pool of every tank in the game. You’ll take a shot but it hurts you less and the alpha is good enough to make it an option.
I don’t think they will buff the Maus at all. Mostly because if you look at vbAddict, where you can see the average win rates of all the tanks, the Maus scores above average compared to other tanks.
This is because the Maus actually is still good at its job, at sidescraping around corners, bouncing more gold than Fort Knox holds, and occasionally returning a shot.
The tanks that will probably be nerfed is the AMX 50 B and the 113, with their higher than average win rates, and the IS-4 and IS-7 will probably be buffed. Because these tanks have actually been powercreeped horribly.
Bet you’re happy the Maus is getting a major buff..
Seems to be no much difference since the last time i saw it, it is supposed to be OP as fuck against tier 7 and 8, why are they putting it again?
New German mini-branch from the Tiger(P) to the Maus.
Will it replace the VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A line? Or be an addition?
Hoping it will be an additional tank and not a replacement, the current maus line is pretty fun in that “taking candy from kids” with a riot shield kind of way. Maybe it will be a line that emphasizes side armor more than the VK45.02B
You guys have so short memory? This one is replacing the VK B.
I hope not, the 4502B is one of the nicest tanks in the game.
possibly, it could mean that vk.100.01 could have a home and mauschen too
Well, the Type 4 heavy is pretty much OP as fuck against tier 7 and 8.
My Type 4 is a pain to use…I angle and use cover but the gold coming at me is to much.
Uh, well, not really…
Last time we saw it it has had a derp-gun mounted, now it has the normal KwK45 lenght 55 mounted that the original Maus also has.
Shiftyone, I seem to recall it might go something like this: make the VK 4502 historical (I think the tier 9 armour is NOT historical), make it tier 8. Put the Mauschen in at tier 9. So the line would become Tiger P – 4502 – Mauschen – Maus.
There’s a tier 7 version floating around with the historical armor.
The gun was a big part of why it was so OP before. With the rather “meh” 128 it’s not going to be as bad.
Hey you got the type 4 heavy lol a tank with 260 hull armor lol soon to be 280 lol
Would it be to sell more gold ammo?
I’d like to point out that, with terrain Resistance included, this thing only has 4hp/t…
Is the Cupola weaker than before? Looks like it is, but my memory can’t tell
Looking at the model and stats from last time, to the side armor is weaker (sides of cupola included), the turret traverse and overall mobility is much worse, and it gained 30m view range. Plus the different gun.
great now theres to impenetrable tanks to worrie about
Instead of this thing, why not continue with the efforts to rebalance all the tanks, to reset the power creep?
because the VK45.02B is largely a clusterfuck in both balance and historicity and needs fixing.
100% pure tier 9
Because playing tier 9 in a tier 7 tank isn’t already painful enough
Just perma track and harrass them, every minute you keep a 9 pinned in your tier 7 means an exponential increase to your chance of victory
I think WG will put this shit in game to increase the use of Premium rounds, this leaves most players out of money, making them think that buying Premium account may be a good idea.
Get the hands off my VK 45.02B 🙁
So the “Little Maus” is 5 tons heavier than the Maus? Makes sense…
Why they just dont leave the VK 45.02B live, its not the only fantasy tank around in the game.
They have to replace the fantasy tanks with fantasy tanks to make the arcade game more realistic, look, it even has a relative realism to tank travel with 9 hp/ton and 50% worse ground resistance than the average tier 9, it won’t even make it to the enemy cap circle before 15 minutes are up without a push from a train of type 4 heavies.
Because ot has a historical armor schematic on paper, as does the Mauschen. Mauschen as shown here has LESS then the specified amount in its schematic while the vk4502b has a shit ton more. Historically it should be 100mm hull front and 80mm everywhere else, just like the vk45.02a
Actually, 85 mm all around
I’m not going to argue 5mm difference… close enough
for the same reseon as the AFK panther… WG wants to made the tanks “historial” , no paper tanks…. but paper stats are allowed, balance purpose. You like the old tank? WG dont care, eat the new one, or die.
The FV 215 is a prime WG fantasy
specify your source next time!

will be unsuable .. it’s SOOOOOOOOOOO slow it will get smashed with gold AND arty.. seem like another useless type 4
A month after I make a post on the Asia forums about reworking German HT line by relooking at the Mauschen and the Mammunt… Mauschen comes back to supertest…
Coincidence? Hell yer it is, who the hell goes to Asia server forums for feedback? XD
My post in question: http://forum.worldoftanks.asia/index.php?/topic/68435-maus-line-rework/
If they put in type 4 i kinda wonder why not this thing, quite similar realistically
Because the historically documented armore thrashed that of the Type 4 overall when it was first tested:
Hull armor: 200/185/160
Turret armor: 240/210/210
What’s being tested now is far more reasonable
omg this thing is back XD i remembering owning tier 7 tanks with the 15cm gun it had
There are dots above the A in the tank name, which actually gives the word a very different pronunciation: Mäuschen (Moys-chen)
….or you combine the first half of “moisture” and the word “can”. Together it sounds like “Mois-can”, which would be a typical slang pronunciation for small rodents in the Cologne area…. 🙂
yeah i’s just another big arty target
seems like arty will have fun with this
Terrain resistance: 1,726/1,822/2,877

It’s from new german mini tree. Tiger (P) > VK 100.01 (P) > Mauschen > Maus
They may keep it or put it as part of a minibranch, as long as they don’t touch the VK 45.02B!
Well they still have the files and stats of a tier 7 version of the VK45.02b still in game: http://tanks.gg/wot/compare#t:vk-4502-b7.c:vk-4503
That is a Tiger 2 prototype, The VK B was also (meant) to be a Tiger 1 improvement, with 1 version having the turret at the front, the other at the rear. Designed/proposed by Porsche I believe?
The VK45.02 P was a project by Porsche as an improvement on the the VK45.01 P (Tiger P), this improvement was the Tiger II, however the VK45.03 H proposed by Henschel was what became the Tiger II after the frontal hull armor was improved from 100mm to 150mm.
So the VK45.01 P and VK45.01 H were both designs for the Tiger 1
The VK45.02 P and the VK45.03 H were designs for the Tiger II
Well the VK-B has yes to appear in HD, so that’s a possible sign. I know MANY still need to be done but combined with other factors, it’s possible.
The Maus is also getting a BUFF to its frontal armor last I saw in testing. 200 both top and bottom and thickened cheeks to help with power creep. That’s not FACT but it’s been in testing. Seeing as the tier 9 here is getting reduced lower plate thickness, it looks like the VK-B may be going bye-bye. It’s currently stronger than the Maus
I can’t wait for that artillery gun on my type 5 heavy and 270 frontal armor and 280 turret frontal xD because screw you gold spammers
nobody reads the Q&S it was confirmed a few months ago that the whole maus line is getting reworked/buffed as they are not happy with it
why the heck is the gun performance the same as the maus tier 10? @_@ or atleast very minimal difference…
this thing is heavier than maus by a few tonns, worse ground resistences and engine power, probably less mobile than t95. why does it get 10mm more frontal turret armor than maus?
Yey! Lets hope for the best. not that i dont like the VK… but he would be an awesome tier 8, mauschen tier 9 and the vk B an awesome tier 8 premium poopie.
