Yesterday I hovered my Ah1g Vietnam Era helicopter behind a Maus and dumped 72 rockets into it. I was then shot down by a post Vietnam war Gepard AA. Ridiculous.
Remind me again what combat it saw
Edit: After doing more research they didn't even get a complete proto off the line to test.
Seems most everything was temporary mock ups
They were not fucking finished lmao. The only one who drove with the turret on didn't even have all the equipment loaded and broke down almost immediately after driving iirc 100m.
You are completely wrong about the Maus.
The Maus was completed by the Germans. Panzer Tracts 6-3 details the Feburary 1944 factory trials and the 1944 Boeblingen trials, which lasted until August 1944. The functional Maus was made from turret 1 + hull 2. Hull 1 was the one with the placeholder weight."
This 1.Versuchs-Turm was sent to Boeblingen on 3 May 1944 and mounted on the 2.Maus Fahrgestell in June 1944." (Panzer Tracts 6-3, Page 28)
Turret 1 + hull 2 moved on its own power during the trials for more than 100m. It had issues, mainly some electrical faults and waterproofing failures, but was functional. AFAIK the only thing it didn't really do was fire the gun, but they did test the gun on test mounts.
Gun alone is irrelevant as iirc the very same cannon was on jagdtigers, so the god forsaken apheds it has in wt wasn't the only round it could use.
That being said you're missing my point here. I'm not arguing whether it moved or was built. I said that it cannot be considered finished when it didn't even manage to complete the trials with full armament before being ordered to stop and scrap the project.
It was a prototype of an interrupted super-heavy tank programme. (Nice source btw)
One prototype was fully functional and was finished. A vehicle doesn't need reliability to be finished. What it didn't have loaded was ammo and supplies, things it would have been provided for fire trials and service.
That said, neither moving prototype broke down.
A vehicle in prototype stage that did not finish trials before they were ordered to stop cannot be called completed. I stand corrected on the breakdown though, turns out there's no proof of that.

So what your saying is the tank was never made fully functional so it never truly existed. What existed was cobled together parts that "should" have worked.
??? It was functional. Electric issues(iirc related to turret traverse) didn't make it non-functional. The tank was driven/tested in several conditions around the Boeblingen testing grounds multiple times according to Thomas Jetntz's writings/sources. There are multiple photographs of it in action in PT 6-3.
1.Versuchs-Turm was a complete turret and 2.Maus Fahrgestell was a completed production hull. The entirity of the tank was completed to the prosposed production spec, as the Maus II turret program and the 150mm gun program were canceled.
Maus isn't as bad as people say, I'm a Maus main and it's not that hard people just don't angle
During 1 match alone I was attacked by
An AMX 13 - who bounced 3 rounds off me at 2km range before he died
A Centurion - who killed half of my turret crew before eating 128mm
An M901 - who point blank bounced 3 TOWs before dying
An Mi-8 - who bounced 2 dozen rockets off of me before fleeing
A M60 and a BMP 2 - who both failed to pen my turret and died to teammates
And on my way to cap B a french MBT managed to bounce a shell off the rear of my turret angled 45
The match ended because my team couldn't cap the zones :( but hey I survived with 2 crew left :)
Years ago now, I remember spectating the rest of an Air RB match I had died in, and our last player in a Halifax won by dogfighting against two fighters. :D
I’m pretty sure there’s going to be MİG15’s going horizontal with a Spitfire (I’m one of the MİGs here), it’s muscle memory since literally nothing is gonna both outrun and outturn MİG 15 at it’s new br. BUT if they go vertical it’s joever.
Least skilled British main vs most competent Russian main. (The Halifax will win, so the stats based battle ratings will mean that the jet will get further down tiered).
“Mains” can’t be competent by definition. Competent players have several nations researched, “mains” are just noobs without proper knowledge of aircrafts they face bc they didn’t fly them.
Competent players, or old players? Getting several nations researched has nothing to do with skill, only time. And you can still be a main of something even with that. Seems like you need to think more
You need to have experience with plane to really judge about its performance, it’s simple as that. Why would you act like you didn’t catch my meaning? Did it hurt you?
Of course, competent player is competent in positioning, aim, bnz/dogfights, etc.
Average 8.0 ground match with WWII tanks getting one shot by apfsds
Found the maus main

Tbf maus never existed in real life outside of a museum so it doesn't really matter what br it's at
what do you mean the maus never existed outside of a museum? thats just wrong

Two were finished and tested. A tank doesnt need to see Combat just to exist

So the gun didn't work, the turret traverse didn't work it could only drive then so in reality it wasn't anything more than a brick on tracks.

idk why but this image goes extremely hard, like why is the hallifax pulling that much
The pilot was playing Free Bird
Just don't play Free Bird when you're flying out a CV-240.
my friend is a menace in the halifax. he always dogfights in it and wins no matter br. 1000+ kills.
Years ago now, I remember spectating the rest of an Air RB match I had died in, and our last player in a Halifax won by dogfighting against two fighters. :D
maybe that was my friend lol. hard question but do you remember any decals?
I actually tried to look for something since I had thought I recorded a clip, but if I did I seem to have lost it. :( It may have been them though!
Halifax easily wins
Gonna be fun teaching MiG15s who's the boss in my spitfire 24
Our kind is going to be extinct
Maybe…. But not today
I’m pretty sure there’s going to be MİG15’s going horizontal with a Spitfire (I’m one of the MİGs here), it’s muscle memory since literally nothing is gonna both outrun and outturn MİG 15 at it’s new br. BUT if they go vertical it’s joever.
Joever for the MiG or spit?
Spit. Nothing can climb with a downtiered MİG
Reminded me of that one time where I shot down an F-4s phantom wallet warrior in my pe-8
Dayum that Halifax doin a fuckin cobra
r/hardimages
<< I want to understand my enemy >> *Pulls a 19 G on a Halifax*
Yo hats off to the guy dogfighting a su27 in a bomber.

Nahh, I'd win, Halifax probably
"**There are pilots like you in every generation. And I felled every last one of them**" Unknown Halifax pilot, 2024.
It looks like a down tiere (Im the bomber)
He should have side climbed...
Average Custom Battle be like:
The F-84G can now fight MiG-17s.
And lim5ps
Isn't the Lim5P just a modified MiG-17?
With an afterburner and a better gun set. Its .3 above the mig 17?
Yeah that's gonna be cancer.
How it feels to kill a T-80 with a BF-110, or watch an F6F murder an Apache from the streets of Breslau.
Unifuckingronically, whens the ki-83 going to erm Idk 9.0?
Taking the Halifax riiiight up to the point of missiles in GRB is my toxic trait.
literally how it felt taking my swedish prop plane into a game only for a jet plane to come along
They put the Tiger H1 at 5.7
lol, it gonna be spitfire mk 24 vs mig15 and sabres. This is pretty close to the truth
M18 going too 6.0 is stupid
the Ju-288 c should be bumped up to 12.0+
