@@AwesomeEpicGuys the mauschen if i remember correctly has thicker side armour so you can overangle it hell of a lot more, the hull is the same side armour as the tiger II on this new premium tank, so pretty easy to overangle. oh well

While I'm disappointed with this tank's armor, I'd rather have an under-powered premium in the game then an over-powered. I if they buffed the engine deck and turret cheeks it would be pretty balanced I think.

[@AwesomeEpicGuys]

True. We didn't want a good tank necessarily, however, it lacks a lot of staple german super heavy features like being able to trade and push effectively, which made it painful to play.

[@helohel5915]

This vehicle is good, you guys just didnt play it right. It looks a lot like the vk7501K, except without a huge cupola to hide, so it can sidescrape better. Its really easy to sidescrape properly too, just put ur gun over your tracks where the sponson still exists (exactly like the vk7501k)

@@AwesomeEpicGuys I 3 marked the vk75, hah. The armour model for the tiger-maus cupola is not that bad imo, its a small band of 185mm pennable armour with a non pen upper cupola

[@bonehunter9766]

The Tiger-Maus is balanced, yes, the turret armor is strong with 300mm and the upperplate is also very strong, however, the turret is not flat. U cant play it like a maus or you will overangle. The gun is very nice (E75) and the mobility is decent for its weight. Its a balanced tank with streghts and weaknesses, and you need to know how to use the armor. Good tank by WG!

[@the_nameless2891]

I feel like this year the boxes are acctualy a good thing, no like op tanks or tanks that are broken at times. Its a good mix of tanks that can be good but acctualy require some skill to use and arent just rocket booster derps that someone can hop in and pretty much hold a intire flank alone in

Well at least it made the VK 45.02 B looks good (very underated Heavy tank)

[@johnfarscape]

Yep, the VKs armour is miles better, tbh I think that its armour is actually better than the tier 10, as it doesnt have the huge side weak points.

[@FrisianFront]

I still got my vk, since it was pre maus😂

[@Ubernewb111]

yeah I was kind of excited for the TM but it's obviously bad at being a super heavy

[@jameslanning8405]

I went for the T95 in the American tree.. It was supposed to be such a beast! I was so disappointed, that after 3 matches, I was killed all three times and never killed anything on the other side. Even 155MM gun, did not pen kill a single tank. And it's hyped to have such a high survivability... "3 hits and I was dead." The KV1 Shielded, took more hits with less damage, and did more damage with it's 76MM gun, than I ever got from the T95 with the 155MM gun. The T95 is ssssssslllllllooooowwwww... It barely gets away from the home cap circle before the enemy is targeting it. For the cost of ammo and other things, I lost credits with the T95, instead of making anything. After those 3 matches, I sold off the T95. The beast was an old dog, that wasn't fit to sit on the porch, and too big to hide beneath it. The T95 is a super heavy, super slow, super "NOT." But maybe the powers that be, at WOT have nurfed the T95 more than advertised?

[@Train115]

This is what we call power creep.

The amount of fires makes me think it's more like a tier IX fv215b.

[@juanjodpr]

I'd love to know where the ice block part is located because holy hell, this thing is bad as hell. Ed: It's as if WG gave this thing the same hull the Tiger 2 had before the buff. It reminds me of a stock Tiger 2 moved up to tier 9, which sucks.

[@TrustyEngineer]

2:47 Is that a Green Beret's line from Commandos? 🤔

[@jackmasterpunk8350]

You have to remember at the end of the day it is a Tiger II hull at tier 9 so don't expect to bounce anything in the hull when you're essentially in +1 all the time, the best bet is to play hulldown or just hide your lower plate behind a gravel pile and wedge your tank upwards slightly (but not recommended vs good players because they can just overmatch the underside of your skirts above the track). If you are hulldown and the enemies can pen your cheeks just angle your turret like you do in a Maus and you should be good (idk how big/easy to hit the cupola is so can't comment on that).

[@AwesomeEpicGuys]

Sounds reasonable. But the hull is huge and very difficult to hide. The cupola is also very big.

[@fili0938]

It's an E100 hull without side skirts and a nerfed lower plate.

[@Panondras55]

[@echo_9835]

I had no idea ice blocks are so flamable.

[@KptKosmit91]

"as strong as an ice block" not wrong, generally ice is not very good against armor piercing shells

[@Pihnes]

Are WG talking about the ice block i dropped last winter and which shattered into 1000 pieces ?

[@gamefreez3r317]

"As strong as an ice block". Too bad ice can shatter really easy and, while having some resistance to impact over an area, easily gets damaged by sharper objects or point like forces. And ice melts over time so while it may not be that good while the ice is still fresh the tank will probably become worse over time when people have seen it for some time and the ice has been melting...

[@jeremyzabel2923]

Funny that you talked about its "bad lower plate" because it's about as strong as the Mauschen and E75 lower plates

[@AwesomeEpicGuys]

Mäuschen's lower plate is roughly 20 mm thicker and also half the size, making it much easier to hide and angle.

[@jeremyzabel2923]

@@AwesomeEpicGuys while thicker, it's not angled as well. The effective armor is quite similar. The size, of course, is going to be a huge factor. But I think you guys are wrong about the tank. From everything I can see the lower plate is just as good as the others and the upper plate is far better.

[@letacodilesupreme6445]

Worth noting that this tank has a weaker version of the E 100 hull (significantly worse than the Maus, so the lower plate is butter) but the turret cheeks are much stronger than the Maus. So it doesn't really play like the Maus (or so it seems). weirdburger tank

Dude, its turret is great, even tanks on gold don't have guarranteed penetration (up to 330 pen.). Maus have only 260 mm, when that thing does have 300 mm, but yeah, Hull from tiger II ruins it. intensive sidescrap angle is required, but turret is placed back the hull, so it actually have a value, First premium tier IX tank worth money? (Also gun is the same as E75, that's why it's good).

[@artego4814]

True, there is some weird inconsistency in "defense" stats of this tank... perhaps because it actually has somewhat nice mobility and very good gun... then it has to pay with shitty a*s armor. I have been shooting much more gold with tiger-maus than with obj. 752 and still have 2330-dpg (only 16games) so far. While my obj. 752 has 2740-dpg (27 battles sample). While object supposed to be very shit, it's armor is actually amazing which alows me to deal significantly more damage even while i miss so many shells just because of ABYSSMAL gunhandling -> I can play more, while with tigermaus I'm already in garage.. Perhaps, because sample size of tiger-maus is small... but I doubt it will sky rocket... Meanwhile my Mäuschen has 2568-dpg (45battles sample) and about 100 more asistance than tiger-maus.

[@funnyman4311]

I find it funny that whenever the engine sets on fire while you're playing it because it's incredibly accurate to real WW2 German vehicles. And it probably would've continued into their prototype super heavies because they never learned to make a reliable engine lmao. (I know there are exceptions, I'm just memeing)

lmao literally the only thing I want/care about is the skin for the Phase 1. The Japanese thing looks interesting but I wouldn't care if I get it or not since I only play the original 4 nations.
