main battle tanks with the best belly armor

Damage-wise the 128 mm PzGr.43 is equivalent to the shell BR-471 of the 122 mm D-25T cannon, for which penetration usually means a knock-out.Ĭoaxial MG? That's for normal tanks (but it is there anyway). However, the APCR and HEAT shells of the T-54 and late US vehicles surpass it. It has one of the best penetration value of any APCBC shell in-game alongside the IS-7 and the Object 279. The reload is very good too for its calibre (23 seconds stock) that is a big advantage against IS-4s, because the Maus has three seconds for an extra shot. The 128 mm KwK44 is a great gun in-game, very accurate and perfect for mid to long range engagements. Keep that in mind and use it as an advantage in CQC. The vehicle can actually turn pretty fast once at Gear 6, which is better than the Jagdtiger and some other Rank V heavy counterparts. The sheer mass of the vehicle and its speed makes the mobility difference from the road to off-road negligible. Best used as an armoured beast able to destroy vehicles and take any shot. Preferable used at long range and choke points. It is important to protect the back armour on the Maus and to make sure it does not get outflanked. The dual guns do great damage, however, against high-rank tanks it is best to use the 128 mm main gun. The Maus lives up to its reputation as a mobile bunker. The Maus can be a menace in the battlefield and conversely also a bullet magnet, a double-edged sword that must be played correctly or else fall victim to heavy enemy fire. The Maus is the definitive tank of heavy armour in Rank V and is one of the largest ground vehicles in-game. It was later reopened to research for a limited time during War Thunder's 8th, 9th and 10th anniversary events. It was introduced in Update 1.47 'Big Guns' as a main tree vehicle, however in Update 1.91 'Night Vision' it was shifted to become a gift vehicle for players who previously owned it. With a battle rating of 8.0 (AB) and 7.7 (RB/SB).
