Maus The Sponge, Final look! | World of Tanks 

either overangled or they could still see ur front, theres no way

@@user-hi5vm4vh8t Its possible.. should have saved the replay but I was so pissed i just logged. I know how to play it, have a 65% wr in it. But perhaps i was more exposed than I thought. But still... 9 shots in a row penned so cant all be over angled for ever single shot

@@kingjames1308 happens man, imo its really hard to overangle against 9's as they generally have bad penetration against you, it might be down to the fact that they could still see a few pixels of your front while you were sidescraping and shot there. also depends which tier 9s shot at you, if its an e75 that thing has more penetration than even some tier 10

@@user-hi5vm4vh8t it was t9 french heavy auto loader and the new t9 American yoh. Both penned me every shot

@@kingjames1308 i just look the maus model on tank gg , when angled correctly the t95 using gold can only pen your lower plate your turret cheeck become 340 of effective armor and your upper plate 360 . the gold on the t95 have only 320 mm so is mostly on your fault ;)

i will take as huge compliment

They should add 20-30 mm track armour to Maus’ cheeks which would prevent heat spam from penning when angled.

Except for the Turbo i use this same configuration, i use on the T95 too, it's hilarious when people track you and you just kinda keep moving slowly towards them, they don't realize that you can repair your tracks faster than they can reload.

Weird that it matters, I really cant see any point in tracking maus, you cant track and do damage and its so slow, its pointless to keep it tracked. I dont own a maus, but playing versus it I have never tried to track it

@@durachoks People try to track me often because I rush them and ram them for fairly good damage values. I think its due to my playstyle being extremely aggressive with it. I have 60% solo win rate with it (otherwise I am a 55% win rate plr) and 2 marks without even trying at all. I will try to 3 mark it but I dont like using prem ammo :P

He has a video on it when he 100% it after buffs

I like mine but I don’t play it too often. Great great gun. Usual t10 medium shell velocity. Maybe not as accurate as The Leo. But it can bounce shots, so it’s a great all rounder.

@@bryans6539 Sadly don't have the Bond to buy 121B or M60. I have leo, but 0,24 Dispersion is without some hidden Stats, cause i miss a lot of Shells which should've hit, same with Grille 15, has good Stats but often Trolls. Having no armor like the Leo is also pretty annoying

depends a lot on taste, I really hate super heavies but love mediums or hull down tanks

@@raulansbach5238 same. I main preference are meds like the leo 1. I actually used to hate the maus. Could never make it work, and then one day I came back to it and just three marked it. I found it incredibly ez to play

I dont get the hate for Maus, when a tank is OP people complain and when it is decent they complain anyway. 🤷‍♂️

@@tarek7866 People complain about the Maus because it's too weak. The thing the tank is supposed to be strong is countered by dabbing the 2 key

@@raulansbach5238 Member when it was buffed a bit? and that bit sent it to OP status? Cuz' I member.... I'm with Tarek El Kurdi, people ALWAYS complain, "it's weak, still weak, bit more buff needed" when in reality it's already decent and next time you'll hear "it's op, it's broken, FU WG" and the tank becomes an uncounterable mess

Nailed it haha

he he

You do realize that 'decent' and 'great' have completely two different meanings don't you? As you said, "that was the proof Maus is a decent tank." The baboon king on the other hand kept emphasizing that the Maus is not a great tank.

KEEP IT UP! MORE push ups to come today!

Tbh you can easily get those missions in E100 except you have a fun line to grind

@@abhaybhatt4286 After watching tons of videos, most unicum contributors recommended the VK100.01 P for blocking missions. So, I got one. So far I've gotten close by either getting enough blocking, but losing the battle or not causing 1,000 damage. When I get a good score and we win it usually means I didn't have to block many shots. It's just frustrating as hell!

@@Jules-kp7rw rammer kind of useless on a HT like this. You spend a lot of time angled waiting to shoot. So you need to whip your turret at them and snap a shot between their shots. You have plenty of time to reload. Vents, turbo, irm.

@@Jules-kp7rw those would be players with content creator RNG who say that, not folks who play. All a rammer does is let you miss faster. After 10 years I find accuracy, specifically fast aim time accuracy, to be far more useful. Followed by mobility, pen/alpha, Then rate of fire, lastly would be armor. DPM is something to advantage when it's your primary strength (looking at you Badger).

@Proud To Be White I find anything to turn and rotate my turret to bounce shots faster to be best on the Maus. So vents, irm, and turbo. Otherwise, bang right in the lower plate or in thru the front next to the mantlet. Really the Maus' job is to exhaust the enemy. Waste time shooting at you, exposing themselves trying to flank, spending ammo reserves. Mostly though just wasting time as 3 or more enemies try to deal with you. 10k damage doesn't really happen, 10k blocked does. That's a third of your teams HP that didn't take the hit.

@@Jules-kp7rw I have eyes and 10 years of in game experience. Any court would accept me as a subject matter expert on a topic with that background. So in my "expert" opinion -it exists.

@@Jules-kp7rw the problem is it would have to be in game. The training grounds seem to have all adjustments stripped away and tanks are closer to their published stats. But you have seen the Honeymoon rng for new premiums with your own eyes no doubt. It just makes good marketing sense to adjust CCs rng ever so slightly. Not enough for any but the most experienced to call out. But enough to make the game look good but still be ascribed to the CC being a "pro".

Yessss... Then my blind shots all of a sudden become more accurate 😜

we will one day!

Ask any good player and they will disagree

@@vidarrehnstrom5091 QB plays Maus without a rammer, he plays a lot of tanks without rammer

@@durachoks The thing is that QB isnt good at the game

when angled correctly too you can stop even gold whit the maus

I'd probably argue that E100 is a little worse because the turret face and lower plate are so much bigger and it's not as easy to angle it well

you need to follow extra channel for that :)

I seen video from klaus kellerman where he was talking about rigged games (those 15-1) and time to time i check it myself and its says a lot. When you look at post game result take a look at shots : hits : pen ratios. Winning Team Has like 5 shots 4 hits 4 pens, loosing Team like 7 shots 4 hits 2 pens and this is happening to the good players also so there is possibility that games are won/lost before they start...

@@Roeper437 i just caught a toon last night that I got on my team in back to back battles feeding two players playing a Leo and e5 on the enemy team. I report and send in tickets when I see that bs. You can't really say it's rigged because of the things you mentioned. Sometimes even the best of us gets lags or aren't focused and perform with those types of numbers. I was a subscriber of claus for years and watched him daily like I do skill but I find him a little too whiny as of late and got a little too annoying.

Naaaah idk. It was too strong prenerf. You can angle against heat but it's like tolerance 0 degree till you will overangle. I have mixed opinion about this tank. But what needs buff is Jgpz E100... The only reason i play it cuz i need to deal 8k dmg... It's such a frustrating experience its depressing.

@@Roeper437 IS-4 has even stronger sides, can play hull down to a degree and has much better pen and mobility. Old Maus wasn't as strong as the current IS-4, the IS-4 is balanced now so Maus wasn't OP at all. At the time maybe it was strong. But in the current meta it's only good if the Maus has with it's pre nerf stats.

@@ihaveadream7858 i dont know what game u play but i am literally in comparison tab and maus has stronger sides 185 to 160 of is4 even slightly better turret armor. Looking at hitpoints 3000 to 2500. Average pen of maus is 246 to 217 of is4. Dpm 2306 to 2219 of is4. The only thing better is that is4 Has twice the mobility and huge advantage in concealment.

@@Roeper437 I just checked again on tanks gg, IS-4 has 258 standard pen and 340 gold pen, while Maus has 246 standard pen and 311 gold pen. Clearly IS-4 has better penetraton. We are DEFINITELY playing different games and you definitely are not playing wot pc, because in this game there is no IS-4 that has 217 penentration with any shell type. The turret frontal armor of IS-4 is 250mm thick, 10mm thinner than the Maus but the angle of the armor makes it's effective armor much, much higher than the Maus. Check both tanks 3d armor models on tanks gg if you know that website, to see whether IS-4 or Maus has better turret armor. I was mistaken on the side armor part though.

@@Roeper437 also Maus has 2305 DPM an IS-4 has 2349 DPM, check again and your facts straight

That's actually true. Most of the time when i look up the players in both team, in my team i am the best player with my 53% winrate (and if i am the best player on the team oh boy i can tell you it is a really bad sign) and we have ten players around 46% winrate. Some even have 42% winrate from like 50-60-70-80k games. 42%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know how this winrate is even achievable, when simply by afking you gonna win more. Meanwhile the enemy team have 5-6 60% warlords sometimes even 60%+ and their weakest player have 49% winrate and i am not even kidding or exaggerate. I not trying to shit on players with bad winrate or stats because everyone plays for their own enjoyment and im completly fine to play with anyone who is normal and don't play like a dick but damn... I want fair games not like these where the top 10 best players worldwide gets matched against the ten worst
