My First Time Playing with The TIGER-MAUS in World of Tanks!

[@bronkothetervueren3246]

I think the problem in the last game was, you where trying to go tartartar. You had to go piripiripiri.

[@harrymilushev6107]

very accurate assumption my man!

[@P4R4LL4X]

I've noticed this too, artillery shots go through this tank like hot knife through butter... not sure if this is a bug or armor model issue, it feels like getting shot in Skorpion!

[@onemorebox148]

This tank got worse armor in this update compared to its first appearance in Open Test. They removed the side skirt armor model that it had before (now it's just for looks) that has 50mm thickness lol, and the LFP got nerfed from 145mm to 120mm. If they kept it the same as it was in the test, this tank would be the best tier 9 premiums to date

[@onemorebox148]

Also the playstyle of this Tiger Maus should be compared to the Vk B instead of Mauschen because of the weaker side and larger LFP

[@mrtt_awakeandreadytofight]

exactly what a rip[ off to me, and only a few maybe two cc are saying so

[@gousttsfi3011]

I think it is better so. We do not want that much OP tanks in the game. I think the tank itself is pretty good and very good balanced.

[@oscarovegren]

A tank doesn´t need to be that good to be the best T9 premium tbh

[@Collin_Cooper]

@@gousttsfi3011 Exactly, people are never happy with an "ok" tank, and when something like the BZ gets added everyone realizes their mistake.

I don’t know how you can be subscribed to main channel but not the extra channel. It’s like having 2 daily doses of skill in the same day if he uploads to this one, plus the “Best of” series is awesome and very entertaining to watch. I learned how to play various tanks by watching those as well as how to deal with those same tanks if I was on the other team. Great content as always! Thank you Skill and editors of the video!

[@-dany-3374]

@@mkul7ra_xx of course, you can stick to the building, block 20k dmg, but you won't do anything, you won't get anything from it, because the game doesn't count blocked dmg like assist dmg.

[@kacperperzynski7488]

​@@-dany-3374that is true, tanks with bad frontal turret only rely on oponents mistakes. You have to fight your urge to peek.

[@tamska]

That engine deck seems to be a big problem, especially against arty. This tank just feels like super heavy, and in the last adjustment they took the super heavy out of it.

[@Jayden_o777]

Engine deck of Tiger-Maus is 40mm and belly is 35mm on most of it and 70mm on the front bit. That's probably why it's taking so much arty damage.

[@LuciusGraciusMaximus]

Maus needs buff ❤

[@agripinaa8684]

That was just brutal how you played with that T77 😂 Edit: yeah…that weak engine deck armor definitely means arty is going to chew you up hard

[@Immortal_BP]

i also noticed arty does a lot of HE damage to certain tanks even though they have a ton of armor, the tier 8/9 italian TD for example take so much damage when arty hits the front of the turret/upperplate of the hull, like 400-500 damage.

[@bury4660]

this tank has really weak engine armor (40mm) so with 121+ gun you can overmatch it

[@GolgiComplex-fu8zi]

Thats cause of arty's echanics of HE. Whenever it hitsyou the HE is seeking weak spots on tank within explosion range and when you have bad top roof/side armor you'll become more damage .

[@Immortal_BP]

​@@GolgiComplex-fu8zi seems more like failed mechanic then, makes no sense

[@GolgiComplex-fu8zi]

As an experienced maus player(have 1500 battles wirh it 56%) I would say it is better to have 2 setups, 1 with super heavy spall liner for battles with 2 artas where you would be focused and other with turbo for the rest. This is really important thing. In many battles no one but arta penetrating you. With spall liner you are reducing damage in a half and some artas will not do damage at all so keep this in mind

[@hobblobber3914]

Yea, if im in arta and no dmg a maus twice in a row, I'm swapping targets if possible lol

[@OTOss8]

This is a very good tip. Thank you friend-o.

[@azertu2u2]

I think spall liner has no effect if arta penetrates you but no they arent penetrating maus with HE

[@MrSunshinetrooper]

It's advice like this that would help me step up my gameplay. However am gunna keep on alt tabbing reddit or something and being late.

[@meinungsfreiheit7004]

I am also 3 marked Maus player with 61% winrate and 370 battles. Stabs, Rammer and Vents was all I need. But after field modifications I dropped Stabs for Bounty Hardening to get 3500 Hp

[@CZMarcus]

Thats WG for saving my money this year. ❤️ This was the only tank I was interested in. Since you nerfed it to being almost useless, I dont have to buy.

[@wazman77show]

the top of the engine deck is 40mm, arty is going to have soo much fun. Also does this mean a 122mil ap round can ricochet off the lower cheek into the engine deck?

[@mr.niceguy9394]

I think You were looking a the Recently Post armor Nerfed Tiger Maus, Looking at the original there is Much more armor, Great vid btw

[@Taffer-bx7uc]

Havent seen the random events yet in the maps. I always get Nam, Tundra, Berlin and Paris.

[@emhyrvaremreis8949]

this tank doesn't look bad because people don't know how to fight it yet. Tiger-Maus will be playable from a few days to a few weeks at most. After that, no one will leave with it. Let's add the fact of unfair matchmaking and rng. As you can see, artillery can do more damage to this vehicle than many gold bullets that hit it. As usual with the rest...

[@Jinny-Wa]

Agreed and also the paid actors. Especially in the first game.

[@danielclesse6272]

will be like Maus and E100... full loadout of gold ammo, just because everyone will spam gold at you too.

[@blodygeri]

To be fair,the game developed to a stage,whenever you see an armoured tank,you instantly load the gold,so thick flat armour doesn't really matter anymore..This tank,alongside with the Maus like tanks,will soak the gold shells like nothing else..free farm ..

[@pariseri1]

That's exactly what WG want. They nerfed the T29 into a gold spammer, now these gold sponges they're calling tanks.

[@laszlopap8271]

In a couple 100 years maybe WG will realize the problem with the "Golden Age" as well...MAYBE... Funny how they sweat to introduce more and more armoured tanks instead of just rebalancing/regulating premium rounds...BUT its still WG so why are we wondering? ......

[@Apremus]

I’m looking forward to this tank, but i will say this is definitely a sign of what to expect in the future of this game. We are gonna have strong tier 9 premiums, it’s just a matter of time but tier 9 will become like tier 8 is currently and that is quite sad.

[@xvphoenixvii5146]

sorry to break your heart but they stealth nerfed the Tiger-Maus's armor to oblivion

[@Benutzername-rs8wr]

[@GriggsHw]

@@xvphoenixvii5146 The changes were listed and well known, dafuq were you smoking I want some of those.

[@tamska]

Tiger Maus is not strong since its armor is basically all in the turret. If you can hide your hull(and we are talking about a German "super heavy" here), then it can work, but other than that the armor is not going to help you. You are one big exp pinata for artys with that 40mm engine deck that is a size of a small medium tank.

[@generalknez3942]

HE doesnt splash anymore apart from Artillery shells. Thats the HE nerf a long time ago. You will have to HIT the fake cupola right in the weak spot, not around it.

[@3NC3PH4L0N]

14:16 because Tiger-Maus has a giant engine-deck with only 40mm armor and every arta with a 121mm and more will overmatch it

[@GhostVvar]

Its far worse than the Mauschen in terms of survivability. And having high survivability is the main characteristic of a super heavy. The only thing this has over the Mauschen is frontal turret armor, smaller cupola, speed, slightly better gun handling and higher alpha. The Mauschen has smaller and thicker lower plate, better side armor/sideskirts, 50mm engine deck armor (40mm for T-M), 80mm turret roof armor (50mm for T-M) oh and the under armor over the tracks is 55mm (35mm for T-M) and 350 more HP. The T-M has a lot of over-matchable armor plates which is overlooked and a pretty huge detriment to its survivability.
