Check out how the Maus works. If some of the buttons don't work just click the green flag again. New x ray mode and more thought out animation. as well as more attention to detail A and D for lights F to fire machine gun (75 mm KwK44 L/36.5 cannon) 1 and 2 for day and night, also for drivers view and loaders bay still, planning to add more decor
If theres any bugs please notify me. Thanks for checking this out! All art by me ANOTHER REMAKE?? Anyways as always, Here is your war thunder wiki about the Pz.Kpfw. VIII Maus This monster of a tank started development in 1942 on the suggestion of Ferdinand Porsche to H#tler, which was approved. The first prototype was to be completed by 1943 and the project vehicle was designated the Mammut (Mammoth). The name changed in December 1942 to Mäuschen (Little Mouse), then once more to the Maus (Mouse) in February 1943, which stayed as its designation (and perhaps proving that Germany does have a sense of humour). The prototype used Ferdinand's "electric transmission" that was previously used on the rejected VK 45.01 (P), the vehicle would be powered by an MB 517 diesel engine. The Maus has a suspension design with 24 wheels on each side, 2 per bogie with two bogies side by side and six bogies lining up from front and back. The armour was perhaps the most defining feature at 220 mm thick at the hull front, the sides and rear were 190 mm thick. The turret was even thicker at 240 mm on the front and 200 mm on the sides and rear. The vehicle was to also have a 128 mm KwK44 main gun with a 75 mm KwK44 gun as a coaxial. The overwhelming design was approximated to weight 100 tons. The production plan was to have the prototype completed by mid-1943 and for 10 vehicles per month after the prototype delivery. Work would be divided between Krupp and Alkett for the production of the machine. The wooden model of the tank was presented on May 1943 to H#tler. It was then approved for production and 150 of them were to be built. With the final design finished, it was estimated to weight 188 tons now. Though H and his peers saw it with much favour, Heinz Guderian criticised the Maus design because there was a lack of machine guns, thus it was extremely vulnerable to infantry attacks at close-quarters for the same reason as the Ferdinand tank destroyer. The anti-infantry problem was solved with the addition of a coaxial machine gun and a "Nahverteidigungswaffe" dischargers, firing smoke or high-explosive shells in its surrounding area, installed on the turret.
