This Tactic however is very risky so be careful and first see where is all the ennemy team, to avoid flanking medium tanks.

You can just go and when you feel that they are going to fire you, angle your tank. The Maus can also be an excellent assault heavy tank, and put some pressure on the ennemy team, since the tank can sidescrape at any time, it doesnt needs to find shelter. Sidescraping he can bounce the ennemy's that are pushing, and he can try to return fire, but be careful, when you try to fire the turret armor is no longer effective, just like the E100 you must always keep it angled. He doesnt need to have the best gun or the best movility with that armor. The maus is the best tank for holding an ennemy attack. This is a problem because many medium tanks and light tanks can flank the tank, and hit the side or rear armor. However, since it weights over 188 tonnes, is no surprise to see that it's the slowlest heavy tank. It has an ok engine and some nice ground resistances. However, in order to be angle that well you must know how to angle it perfectly, so it's also one of the hardest tanks. After all, he is the only heavy tank that can sidescrape without using any wall, at a certain angle, with nothing protecting the lower plate or the cheaks, the maus armor will still be so strong to take even the best premium shells. However, if you sidescrape, the tank is pretty much a walking wall, nothing will ever pen it, making it the best Sidescraper in the game. Gold ammo, wich is the biggest problem, almost all tank that he meets can pen at least the lower plate with gold.

The cheaks in the turret, at the middle they are flat, however you will need at least 260 to pen. The lower plate, wich is a small square between the tracks (hard to hit) 2. The front is really well angled, giving it the power to bounce a lot. And the worst part, it has the worst dpm of any Heavy tank, even the E-100. However the disperssion when turning the tank or the turret is one of the worst. Its disperssion after firing is ok for the caliber. It has a rather bad aim time (the same as IS-7 and E-100). It has the worst pen on any heavy tank, only 246. With amazing armor, it seems like nothing can stands in it's way. Heavy, Huge, and menacing, is perhaps the only Super Heavy Tank at the game. The Maus, one of the most famous tanks from WW2, is also one of the german crowns at tier X.
