But it would have lacked any tactical mobility dooming it to an exclusively defensive role which it never performed due to the war ending.įirst released in 1.43, it was the strongest tank in game and was barely stoppable but by bombs. In short this tank was a formidable piece of technology. Where a thermc engine would have lamentably failed to move such a beast this system proved adequate and reliable enough for this tank and is still used today to move dieseled powered train. This choice was very clever for a tank of this weight because you could function at maximum torque even at the lowest RPM. It had there for one speed forward and one speed backward. One thermic motor powerred the tank via one electric engine producing 1200 HP. It was powered with and hybrid powerplant. This weapon wouldnt have been usable at more than 500 meters and was primarly meant for close combat not to waste precisou and expansive 128 mm shells. It was also equippe with a 75 mm gun firing early HEAT at 400 m/s. This gun fired 28 kg shells at nearly 1000 m/s being able to penetrate any allied tank way beyond 2 kilometers, this gun really made any other gun of any camp look like paper ball shooters. It was equipped with one of the most powerful AT canon ever built, the KwK 44. It was a real behemoth barely able to reach 15 kph on soft terrain and 20 kph on hard ground. This vehicle never saw mass production and forunately for the Russians never got used in significant numbers in defensive role where they would have been simply unkillabe unless a lucky arty shot or a bomb had hit it's roof. Only one prototype was ever completed and we do not know if it really saw action or not in it's testing field of Kummelsdorf before being captured by Russians tested ( and fired at with 152 mm, 122 mm D25 as well as BL9 gun suffering no penetration on it's frontal arc both on hull and turret) and now exposed at Kubinka where you can still see it today. The idea behind this tank was to provide a tank that would have been ablr to whistand any AT cannon of it's time while remaining "mobile". The Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus a German superheavy tank prototype from 1943-1944. Ill start with a smal presentation of the vehicle right now.
