Pz.Kpfw. VIII Maus

Tankers!

The Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus was the heaviest tracked combat vehicle ever to be produced in Germany. This super-heavy colossus was designed by the Porsche company, using a similar petrol-electric engine as the Pz.Kpfw. VI (P), also called the Porsche-Tiger. Its massive armour in combination with the powerful 128 mm cannon was supposed to make it a behemoth of the battlefield, but as the project was abandoned in 1944 mostly due to material shortages, serial production never happened.

In War Thunder, the Maus is a full-blown heavy tank with strong armour and powerful armament. Its slow speed makes it vulnerable to bombs and flanking manoeuvres, but with a skilled commander, this Maus truly can scare some elephants! Let's check the vehicle out in our video.
