hey, Kingtiger, not to argue about the Maus, but i wouldn't have a co-axil 75mm cannon, i think you are thinking about the Ratte, a supper massive land cruiser that had a Coastal gun battery for a turret. and yeah, the Maus only had two prototypes, so it wouldn't even be useful. A more useful unit for the Ostheer would be Panther bunkers. The Germans were low on fuel, but they had these Panther turrets, so they put them on top of concrete bunkers and used them as a heavy AT bunker.
No one can stop the German panzer divisions.

Well. First; around 7 or 8 Maus were build. Just two prototypes were transport at the Heeresversuchsantstalt Kummersdorf for driving and gun tests. Perhaps both tanks fought against the red army but anyone is sure about that ( i think that one of the 2 tanks had fought ;) ).
Second; the Maus had a 7,5cm KwK as coaxial gun. Later Maus should get a MG 42 for the Funker, too.

BUT all in all the MAUS is NO OPTION for the Ostheer, because ( and i write it again and again and again ) this tank is too heavy for balance, dosent fit into CoH and wont represent the HOLE eastern front.
So think they heaviest possible tank for german armor at CoH is the Jagdtiger Sturmgeschütz ( Jagdpanzer ) and this vehicle hadnt fight at the eastern front.
May the force be with you.

Funny read about that people want some units, that existed only on paper, or just prototype. Well these units are cool:

But these are ridiculous in size, and they cannot cross in bridges. I was impressed, that in the game Tigers can cross bridges, in the war, that was a problem. So those guys who want these units, please, read some history books, go to the library for research or use the google. That always helps. :) Did you know, that the quantity of tigers, germany could build 3 Bismark battleship from that steel?

Ugly
Clumsy
Simple
Slow

I would never like to see it in the Ostheer as well, but
the maus already made it ingame. Never seen these pictures of a driving (h)ouse?

How about we set up the forums so any time someone types Maus in a post, it automatically gets replaced with "that tank that will not ever be added to this mod", so people finally get the idea?

the game? the mod (red army and eastern front maps) has already been released. and the work on the ostheer has only started, so it will take some time.
Jagd[tiger] is a buildable replacement for the Kettenkrad... It can cloak and cap points. :P

Ive allways wantet to have the "SturmPanzer Brummbär" to play around with in COH.



Basicly a german KV2 i guess?

Ability_ Lockdown, the brummbär locks down and fires its shells faster by the cost of mobility.

I see that as something less of a target for people to flame at than the sturmtiger.

yeah the Brummbär "SturmpanzerIV" was acturally used on the eastern front, in battles like "Kursk - Warsaw uprising" and other skirmishes

i really like the design and i don't see why Sturmtiger lovers wont just satisfi with a brummbär instead?

euh, Sturmtiger lover here, i see the Brummbär as a buildable unit as a opposed to the Sturmtiger being one-per-game-only akind to the King-tiger and the Jagdpanther

in all honestly, i could understand why people are coming from against the sturmtiger, it didnt saw a lot of action(was only used in the warsaw uprising, right?) but, gameplay wise i feel it could be different compared to the "equivalent" units, as opposed to the Elephant that could end being kinda similar to the Jagdpanther

but thats like my oppinion
