Mercury Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 What a sight it would have been to have a little Maus in the game! Or an E100. Those Krazy Krauts were also planning a street fighting vehicle powered by 4 U-Boat engines!! I'm sure those vehicles will be in SS3 when it arrives so why not CMBB?

Silvio Manuel Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 The thing that cracks me up is that supposedly Hitler wanted the Maus to be a "mobile" fortification to bolster the Atlantic Wall... "mobile" my foot. Achtungpanzer.com said that if the Maus broke down, it would take *two other 'Mice'* to tow the thing! Good luck getting it over bridges and climbing over ridges w/o breaking the suspension.

Cortes Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Hitler was notorious for his stupidity about the Atlantic wall, although I am sure all of you grogs know much more about it than I do.. what were those two channel islands he doused in concrete to 'fortify against invasion' that did nothing?

LGMB Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 The Maus... A waste of energy. Why include a vehicle that: a) Couldn't move becuase the turret weighed to much, and Was never built excpet for one prototype that never had a turret... Doesn't sound like fun to me.

White Phosphorus Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Well according to a Steel Panthers scenario Three Mice were sent to the eastern fron... er part of Germany. But they both broke down and had to be abandoned before they saw any action. Also, wasn't there a Mouse defending some government building in Berlin (only it lacked some vital part that would allow it to move on its own so it was just a giant pillbox).

illo Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Originally posted by Lord General MB: Was never built excpet for one prototype that never had a turret...I think there were two or more completed. Pics below show 3 different paintsjobs. (uncamoed one can be same vehicle than either of below) But anyway it doesnt belong to CM. So many more common vehicles that clearly saw service are not included. [ November 02, 2002, 07:10 PM: Message edited by: illo ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nippy Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Good luck getting it over bridges and climbing over ridges w/o breaking the suspension. From what I understand, there were very few bridges in Europe at the time that would hold the weight of the thing. 128mm Main gun with a 75mm "Coax"? Who the heck designed the Maus anyway? Tim "The Tool Man" Tayler? "What this Panzer needs is moer power! Agh Agh Agh!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinradford Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 >>what were those two channel islands he doused in >>concrete to 'fortify against invasion' that did >>nothing? The two main Channel Islands are Guernsey and Jersey, I live in Guernsey and there is still a lot of the Atlantic Wall around. Practically everywhere you go there is a German fortification of one kind or another. Alderney (a smaller island) had an SS concentration camp on it where Russian prisoners were housed to work on the Atlantic Wall. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted November 3, 2002 Author Share Posted November 3, 2002 I've been to Guernesy and Jersey many times. Fantastic places and superb history! Apparently there is a Maus still in existence in a Russian tank museum, I think its in Moscow, quite a site to behold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 More info found at the Achtung Panzer! website... http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pz7.htm#maus Oh, and be sure to check out the section on German "land cruisers"... Boy, the local designers must've been high on crack during those days. http://www.achtungpanzer.com/p1000.htm#1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nippy Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 P 1000 would be armed with a variety of weapons such as: two 280mm gun (naval gun used in Scharnhorst and Gneisenau warships), single 128mm gun, eight 20mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns and two 15mm Mauser MG 151/15 gun. This is your brain on drugs, Counter-Stike, or both. Any questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
