VEHICLES

Some people say the maus saw combat when the factory it was built at (Kummersdorf) was invaded chances are slim though that it actually did...

[Nemisis]

From the accounts I've heard, only two complete hulls were made, a version 1 and a version 2. Several turrets were captured complete and in various stages of production. The russians took the V2 hull, and mated it with a V1 turret for evaluation (still not a complete prototype). Unsure about this, but I hear there was also some turrets fitted to be armed with the KwK 43 because of greater avaliability. As far as I know, the maus seeing combat is just a myth.

First off, just because you don't get a reply does not mean the request was not seen and filed.

Few idea's indeed are truly good enough to get a reply directly from HT and co.

Second Caps lock just gets you ignored.
Your attitude which followed isn't helping any either.

Your probably right still fun to believe though.

Here's the deal about the Maus.


2 were made. One was in combat (sorta), the crew bailed once they saw enemies. The Russians captured this Maus and it is now in a Museum in Russia. The other was scuttled by the Germans so that it too did not fall into Russian hands. This Maus was fitted with a simulated turret, not a different version. There was one designed turret and only one real turret made, the other was simulated. There were 2 Maus built, one is still complete the other was scuttled.





Here's the only 2 Mausen that existed.

source? I've never even HEARD that they bailed out when they saw enemies, yet alone read it.

We need a better sub for the He-111 in BoB; ju-88 just not getting the job done.

The surviving Maus is actually part of both prototypes.  The Soviets had mated the V1 hull to the V2 turret.  I believe the V2 was the one the Germans blew up in place outside of Berlin when the Soviets were at the city gates.

Nemisis, you should see my library. "Bailed out" might not be good terminology but the point is they didn't fight the Soviets as Ack Ack mentioned. They may have produced two turrets but the one that was scuttled did have a simulated turret. That i know is a fact. Now that I pay attention to detail, I concur with Ack Ack.

all i'm saying is that most people that request stuff in the wishlist section or any other forum subtitle are not being heard at the highest level and blaring caps lock helps me get more attention then lower case letters and i'm sorry Mar that i am suggesting things that are real and i can't help it if i would like these vehicles to be placed in the game, its just a suggestion nothing else.

WHAT? I DIDNT HEAR YOU

[uptown]

OK here's a question:  If an idiot trips in the forest, does anyone anywhere care?  Does the OP realize that one of the tanks listed is already in the game and two of the tanks he lists are the same tank?  

ack-ack

[Nemisis]

Ack-Ack never said it saw combat, he said they blew it up when the soviets drew near.
