maus should be 7.0 or lower im saying this because it cant really do much at 7.7

[skyraider74]

well heres a tip that makes you live, you won't be getting much kills, but it saves your wallet. Begging to not die, when you are being attacked, yell in the all chat "DONT KILL ME PLEASE I AM BROKE" keep saying that again and again. Make your own phrases (ex: I LIKE THE B-29 DONT KILL ME, DON'T PLEASE DON'T!) it works most of the time if you are in an uptier.

skill issue

LoL, just forget about that meme tank, the only playable ww2 german tanks are the Tiger IS and Panther A/G, the rest are just to lose SL

[CaptainSpacetime]

even if you put the maus at 6.7 I will not play him because I can't stand playing slow tanks, you will be CASed to death anyway before you reach your desired spot anyway

[BocheBuster]

Even at BR7 it will be up against post war stuff. Just like all the WW2 heavies, the gap between them and most post war armoured fighting vehicles is ridiculous. This is one thing that really annoys me about this game.

this clearly shows that you have no clue.
just so you don't come back with another trash argument I'll spell it out for you.
the BMP-1 has both an ATGM and a main gun that can pen and kill a maus, while BMP-2 only has an ATGM.
still non of this proves the maus gotta move down. every tank dies to ATGM's and HEATFS just the same if not more often due to more compact crew, yet all the tanks around the BR of the light tanks that have those don't need to move down.

except heatfs detection is broken and when i move while it hits me it basically never pens, i can angle it, as well as 500mm pen rockets hitting the side of my turrets, it gets stopped by fuel tanks or the engine, while the 1200!!! mm rockets lolpen half the tank killing me on the spot basically. You have 0 practical experience on what we're talking about.

Figured you meant the BMP-2 "M" rather than the base model, the heat on the BMP-1 is pretty bad against anything heavy like the T95, Maus or even the IS-3 if you fight it as the German BMP, lighter vehicles like the Super pershing or King Tiger it does fine but you need a bit more pen for the really heavy stuff, or use APDS which seems to work better. The 2m is supposed to be super strong, if you don't land a hit on it first then you are done for, BUT it only has 8 ATGMs which take nearly 2 minutes to reload so they have a maximum potential of 3-4 maus's per spawn as you generally need two of these rockets to kill it.

Where you'll be facing 6.0s that have literally no counterplay? Yeah, no way.

it was removed for a reason

so what you are saying is, I want to kill br 6 or lower with my maus...............hahahahaha

have you any more good balance ideas?

read why they removed the maus,
it can't be balanced well so it won't be,
this is one of the reasons they removed it and have said many times,
get used to it or just bin it as rubbish like lots of us have.

those with the maus would have and if you read HAVE told those that want it that it is rubbish, its day has past years ago.

unless you are a collector (which I don't understand in make believe items in a game) it is pointless to waste your time on it.

but if you want to be a large slow moving target, knock yourself out.

[Kitsune]

Gayjin does not want the Maus to be played. That's why they will never balance it. 14k repair, slow as hell, bad gun at its BR. The only way the tank could be saved would be a strict divide between WW2 and post WW2 matchmaking. But that will never happen. Even then it would be a bad tank, cause it would still be slow as hell and CAS is a thing.

[LanceL]

the reason why it was removed was because gaijin cant balance it.

people want to move the black prince down as well for the same reason, since they both slow.

Yeah Black Prince's armor works though at its BR. The Maus's does not. There is no point playing it. The only strong point of the Maus is completely worthless. So how is it balanced? Shouldn't a tank have down and upsides to be balanced? What upsides does the Maus even have? Good looking and meme machine?

[OtherACTION]

It depends on how you use the Maus, its armor is thick and can bounce most shells from rank 5 and lower as well as ATGMs. The starting shells are not that great which will take a while to start getting the sweet spot for kills with them but once you get the APCBC 12,8/8,8 Pzgr.TS fro the 128 mm KwK44 cannon then you can deal serious damage to most tanks in BR range. The 75 mm KwK44 L/36.5 cannon is not that great and only uses HE & HEAT shells but it does use smoke shells which will be very useful.
