Er, mate... it looks like the Vet-3 Wehr Pz. IV to me...

And where German tanks are concerned, the radio operator would always be in front, on the right side... usually manning the bow-mounted coaxial MG34. The commander would either be within the turret or peeking out of his cupola.
I think you missed the point. I was thinking about the T34 treads installed on the frontal armor. My bad I must highlight it next time. :D

I would love it if the Ostheer could somehow get a Maus tank. It could be like a giant and really expensive one use weapon. While very difficult to stop, it would be slow, and if possible, couldn't cross bridges. Anyway, that's just my attempt to get the Maus into Company of Heroes (since I'll never be able to do it myself). I'd love to see that giant thing rolling across the Battlefield.

Maus never fight (this is what the historians says) on battlefields...it was just a prototype.

Well... There is the "Kummersdorfer rumour" ;)
Two Maus tanks were tested at the Heeresversuchsgelände at Kummersdorf near Berlin. Some photos showed Maus tanks with armed turrets. The rumour says that this two Maus tanks should have fought against the red army during their attack against this area.
So perhaps Maus had fought but this single battle is no reason FOR the Maus tank at the german Ostheer  ;D

The Maus was in the RUSE beta when I played awhile ago. It was pretty cool. It would never fit into CoH though.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

I know that it basically had no impact on the war. I'm saying that it would be included as if the Ostheer managed to delay long enough to put it into to some kind of general production, despite it not being fully perfected. It didn't expect it would be included, I just hoped, since I love COH and the Maus tank, and thusly wanted to combine the two.

... you mean "Protect the Maus" or "Destroy the Maus"?

Suggesting that the OH should "use the Maus and pwnz0rd all of the Commies" would probably drive LordRommel into conniptions. hehe :P

I don't know, but would be nice to destroy it with soviet steel or to protect it as part of ostheer. It could be a special objective for earning a medal. Also, I wasn't suggesting anything like that(your second line) xD.

I don't think that using an almighty maus would rock :-\.

I can imagine it in a factory still under construction with just the turret working leaving it immobile (In a corner with a wall to its back to stop players circling it hehe :P)

Edit: In a campaign of course not MP

Blow up the wall then. Too bad T-34 hasnt got heavy crush. It could drive thru it.

The last mission that I would like to see is fighting Jagdtiger, Kingtiger and some supporting units without using ZiS-2, Mortar, BM-13 and the Firebase so so cant take them out from range.
