When I first started playing World of Tanks I asked a dear friend of mine what was the BIGGEST tank in this game, hoping it would be the strongest as well. "MAUS" he answered. So I started grinding the German heavy line.

After many months of swearing I finally got it, and i must say. I FAILED playing it until Wargaming eventually buffed its armour. Maus can be pretty strong in both attack and defence if angeled correctly(diamond shape). Sometimes when I play random game and get in a good "hulldown" position I actually FORGET to fire back, just because I enjoy all the bounces it gets.
The cannon could be better, but if loaded with gold-ammo and aimed correctly it's a monster!

Maus was only a prototype by the Germans and was never used in battles. There goes stories about the german building Maus in crosswood to scare away the russians, but i cant confirm this anywhere.
