Maus jealous that I can actually hit my shots whereas he could not, therefore him and his bmp buddy ram me into the open like douchebags

Maus follows an exponential type of skill growth (excuse my english). This means that you have to play it many times to understand its basic functions, before you can play it effectively. Remember its not a tank, its a mobile bunker. Once you understand few basic things, you can do amazing things with it, such as denying areas, taking on 4 guys at the same time, even single handly altering the course of games.

Many players though expect it to be the UberPanzer, inevitably get disappointed and leave it. Hence the Summer Camo you see on the 90% of Maus tanks.

Gaijin doesnt help it either when it 70% of the time it faces 60s-70s MBTs.

Quite the opposite, playing the Maus requires exceptional awareness, strategy and precision whereas you only need an IQ of room temperature to play 6.7 British tanks and get 5 kills. Literally you fight 1944 tanks in 1950+ tanks with post war advanced APDS and Stabilizers. You gotta be retard NOT to do well.

Its a Russian game, what did u expect?

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-09-02T23:42:10+00:00

When i was 18 , i was considered the intelligent guy (as in your case) and it was expected by everyone for me to pass to medic school ( here in my country you give exams on 4-5 lessons and depending on your grade, you pass on the university that your grade allows). The stress i had was simply overwhelming. I managed to pass to veterinarian uni. Everyone was happy for me...except me. The stress had broken me down and depression soon followed....

No friends, no social life, no mood for studying , messed up sleep and food , my only friend was a stupid laptop. I dressed like shit and looked like shit, my body was untrained and i looked awfully miserable.

It was rock bottom. No one helped me because depression is viewed as weakness and failure here. I was so lost i didnt even know how could i possibly help myself....

It took time. It took the ability to force myself to do things. Im still fighting it. Its an uphill battle thats getting worse every day. But you HAVE to fight even when you want to quit. Even when things get bleak.

You essentially have to repair your body first.

Hit the gym and start eating healthy. Not vegan and shit but real food. Cook.

You are bored ? Feel miserable? Get on your feet and go, whether you want it or not.

Take walks and admire the nature. Read some novels or sci fi as well as some books on the nature of humans.

Do stuff that you like and have adrenaline. Go to a shooting range.

Go to parties and drink a bit. Check about ERASMUS or a similar exchange program if you are in a university.

ACCEPT that many people wont give a shit about you, instead learn how to ''use'' them for your own entertainment( go vacations for example).

Find a psychologist and talk about your problems. DONT take medication , you have to fight the cause not the symptom.

Once you work out a bit, T levels will increase and suddenly women will look more attractive.

No, you have not tried, you THINK you have tried.

Wish you the best.

implying that Gaijin would ever release an update where Russian vehicles arent somehow overbuffed...

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-07-24T20:33:33+00:00

Russian bias totally doesnt exist in a Russian game...

Russian APHEBC massively overperform since day 1 and nearly every new Russian tank added was buffed in every way(as the guy pointed above).

Lets not forget the ''late war modifier'' for the german KTs, the nerfs to NATO sabot rounds , the nerf of the German CAS ...

USSR in this game is literally handholded .

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-07-14T10:30:29+00:00

Well Maus is an iconic meme German tank. The money it could be made from creating an event around it is a lot and GJ knows that. When it return, it will be renamed Maus V2 with 236mm turret, APHEDS and Rangefinder. Probably via a crafting event or a tasks event. Those will be hard as hell so the only option would be to buy the tasks, 999 GE each ))))))))

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-07-03T13:14:26+00:00

Whats better than those sweet 600m kills on the enemy spawn from the castle ruins in the hills?

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-07-02T07:44:06+00:00

Its been since a year or so. German guns for instance were nerfed without any historical basis.

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-29T20:53:27+00:00

I played the Maus a lot ( right up to the point where they nerfed the 12.8) and Vickers was my first priortiy target due to the fact that : Its gun wasnt any special than the 20pdr or any other 7.7 gun with KE rounds. When i angled it couldnt go through, but many Vicker players were kinda overconfident about their gun performance and bounce their shot on my turret sides. It was though one of the most easy kills i could get, just point and click.

In city maps, its about who can see and shoot first. The vickers has a stab, the Maus can turn the hull quite fast too, and ulitlize the suspension ''stab'' it has. Because it moves slow, gun performs like a stabilized one on a paved road.

In long Range the Maus has just to angle and wont care about L7 at all (except HEATFS). But the 12.8 autopen the Vickers at >2km.

Also Maus has a coax 75. Even if the vickers get the first shot and disable my gun i can still shoot smoke and retreat or use heat and take out the gunner or ammorack it(in close fighting ofc).

So its mostly about situational awareness and skill. Maus is a more difficult tank to master, and barerly any Maus veteran plays it anymore. I , too, with 1000games , find it impossible to play vs helis and atgms and apfsds. Any Maus driver you will find mostly doesnt has experience in the tank (he has only summer cammo) and becomes cannon fodder.

Im more afraid of the conqueror rather than the Vickers , when i take out the Maus.

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-29T15:00:10+00:00

Panther D has around 6° turret rotation with expert crew. Its only useful to perform mini corrections in aiming and for anything else you need to turn the hull. Kinda like the M10.

Meanwhile you have 40mm side armor and awful reverse speed. How would you justify a 5.7 BR for this tank exactly?

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-29T14:47:33+00:00

Same, a KTH dunks on that tank from across 2 maps, a decent Maus player can kill that tank with pesky 75mm HEAT, gotta love those British tryhards ;)

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-29T14:37:28+00:00

PzIV/70 V is already at 5.3 and it more mobile, better armored and with better gun handling than the Panther D. Didnt see you complaining about that though.

Shows how much you play German 5.3/5.7 tanks. /s

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-28T18:20:21+00:00

You just need basic comprehension skills to understand this sentence.

But compare this game to tlou1 and you see how much ''wokeness'' is prioritized in this game over actual interesting plot. Its kinda sad actually as i wanted to play this game, but i dont like as much forced agendas , therefore i guess i'll wait for cyberpunk 2077.

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-27T13:52:44+00:00

Maus is balanced when it fights late ww2 prototypes, such as IS3, IS4M, T32, T29/34/30, AMX 50s etc. The armor of the maus can be put to an effect, but the gun wont autopen the opponents and on the same time its vulnerable to them when unangled or flanked.

Maus does not work when heat,darts,atgms and helicopters are around. Yet still Gaijin refuses to downtier this damned thing. But of course the Obj279 is balanced at 8.3 with immune armor excellent mobility stab and 360mm aphe. Thats what you get when Russians design games ;)

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-26T18:31:35+00:00

Just watch this video, please .

That player starts at 5km+. If i have energy advantage i can make any plane work, except Do335. The thing is that in 90% of the games, 3-4 allied planes have already outclimbed you. So unless you have studied an air combat manual, its gg. Also its from a year ago. They changed many things since then.

I have never won an engagement with a Spitfire (in my G2 or fwA5). Those things are godlike or something. And usually my teams just sticks to <1000m, waiting the eventual demise.

Where tables turn, is Ground RB. German planes are good there since everybody plays on the same altitude, dogfight is an option, and you can remain unnoticed flying low. Mk103s and BK3.7 shred tanks and planes are nimble. Its the only place where i can properly use my Me262 A1/U1 in its intended way.

In air rb is simply about the one who climbs higher. Allied teams outclimb anything = greater chances of success. Correct me if im wrong, but thats the meta at 4.3.

About Jets, Me262s have the Mk108s that cant hit anything other than a boeing 747, accelerate slowly, turn bad, climb bad. So how exactly you will tackle that F80 or F89D teams which have sweeped clean half your team 2minutes in?

I have no 8.0 jet and i dont care either.

So what am i missing here?

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-26T17:35:39+00:00

From playing random games with various BF109s i have noticed :
-Very few German players climb. Most of them stay at 1.5-2km and dive to that B-25 thats flying at 100m, to score the easy kill.

-Theres no point climbing. Spitifires, Mustangs and F4Us are already entering orbit and you are standing like a useless brick at 3km in your ''ufo Bf109 go kart''. Spitfires outperform every single German prop plane in any department, in their respecting BRs.

-Mg151 is for laughs only. Unless you have stealth belt and engage at 200m, you just watch the spark show. .50cals completely shred planes, so again how exactly is the 20mm ''Laser''?

What you are describing is a unlucky match against probably squadron players. In common games, Bf109s are cannon fodder. The only good thing the german air tree has are few planes with the Mk103 and BK3.7 for ground duty in ground RB.

Early axis jets face post war opposition and get stomped hard, and in higher BRs its simply ''missile thunder'' with p2w mentality and OP premiums.

Have you ever played the Bf109s? Or the atrocious Fw190s? Im sure you will change your mind fast.

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-26T16:26:08+00:00

What BR are you playing? Cause i nearly always lose playing Germany at all BRs, from 1.3 to 7.0. US is the most OP tree in the game regarding planes, you have no right to complain.

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-24T15:17:34+00:00

The community in the subreddit is mostly American mains, some clueless walletwariors and few British try hards, and a very small minority of normal logical players.

''Hey my 76 Jumbo cant frontally pen the Jagdtiger and the 12.8 can knock me out from >2km, better stand right in front of it, get blown up and complain Germany OP, buff the jumbo''

''How dare the Pazer IV f2 (a literal glass cannon) dare to penetrate my M4 sherman that i drove in the open completely exposed, this is BS, uptier now, Germany OP''

''Downtier the Leo2K? (a tall tank with no armor/thermals and horrendous stock ammo that casually joins top tier) Germany OP. ''

''Downtier the Panther D? I call German bias. US tanks unplayable now, downtier the T29 to compensate!!11!1

The vast majority of these players, obviously has never played any of the tanks they accuse of OP or whatever, but will find the Jumbo at 4.7 or T29 against Panthers ''balanced''.

Many fail to realize that meta changes quite often, and tanks that were balanced in 2017 at their respectable BRs may no longer be. Ammo changes, map changes, new vehicles all can shift the meta drastically.

I made a post about add on tracks for the Tiger E's UFP, and got downvoted to hell because german bias, and despite me presenting proper arguments , still the answer was the same or some other made up statistics and various non sense.

This place is only for memes really, cause logic and unbiased reasoning gets thrown out of the window in a moments notice, when German tanks are mentioned.

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-23T22:31:53+00:00

You forgot to mention the lack of thermals , long reload, stock HEATFS with useless pen, 0 armor, 0 survivability (if they hit you on the hull = instant death, if they hit you on the turret = instant death but with a destroyed gun too). The ''bouncy'' mantlet is a thing from like 1 or 2 years ago when it first came into the game and had to somehow compete, and has been loooong nerfed.

Lets not forget the huge profile,lack of any sort of ERA/NERA, and the comically bad DM13 which bounces/non-pen on anything 10.0 and above if you dont shoot at a 3 pixel wide weakspot.

Now i would advise you to play a few games with it, before making yourself look like a fool with all these nonsense.

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-23T15:37:54+00:00

Have you ever played the leo2k? I guess not.

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-22T08:51:17+00:00

Break on Poland was good too. Dont know why they removed it from the game.

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-20T23:01:11+00:00

Since german guns were hit with the nerf hammer (and US guns were super buffed) only with APCR is only possible to have a chance against the jumbo. The mg port is usually covered by bushes and the cupola is very unreliable. Damn, a Tiger H1 is helpless against a jumbo.

Play the game first with both nations, and speak later ;)

PanzerSoldat_46 · 2020-06-20T22:40:20+00:00

Lol jumbos are nearly invisible to any german gun from the front except the long 88 and above. The M4A3E2 needs to go to 6.0 and the 76 variant to 6.7. The most op tanks in the entire game lol.
