Isn't the tiger maus suppose to have a maus type turret? I never understood why people kept putting a tiger turret on it.

Unless it was suppose to and they had design plans for a tiger turret? Did they.

its pretty sexy

>>30084891
Here's a real topic you faggot

Would have turned the tide of the war if built in significant numbers.

>>30084852
Cool designs.
That is about it tho, interesting to see what designers were putting out at the time.

>>30084852
You should apply for a job at Wargaming

>>30084852
Cool? Yes
Impenetrable? Probably during the time
Practical? No

>>30084852
That's cool, But West Germany built the best tanks.

>E-100 tiger maus
I like it just as much as the T-34 Sherman Panther

>>30084852
Heavy tonks were already falling into obsolescence at the end of WWII, so it's not like it would have been practical even if the war lasted a couple more years. The Wehrmacht high command made a rare good decision and scrapped plans for superheavy autism tanks.

>>30084967
So would shitloads of Panzer 4s
Or Sturmgewehrs
Or bombing airfields instead of useless civilian targets
Or not getting rid of a whole bunch of potential soldiers/workers based on ideology
Or not pursuing this "Secret nazi super science" bullshit
Or not invading Russia

>>30084967
>Germany coming up short on pretty much every possible resource and material early on in the war
>Would have turned the tide of the war if built in significant numbers.

Nice meme

>>30085609
You should read a history book sometime.

He doesn't know about e-100

>>30085638
You first, Hans.

>>30085609
Dont forget U-Boats, they almost won the battle of the Atlantic

>>30084967
It seems that you don't have a firm grasp on logistics, or air superiority.
The only thing that could have turned the tide of the war at that point would have been a complete change of leadership for the allies, or Forschungsstelle E creating a successful bomb. Neither is very realistic.

>>30084852
just begging for a P47 to introduce it some democracy

>>30085609
>or bombing airfields instead of useless civilian targets
this

>1944/45, Allies landed in France, established a foothold and are making steady gains every dag
fuck launching rockets at the front lines, better lob a few V2's at London and waste much needed resources to accomplish literary nothing

>>30086557
ironically, policies have change to support things that the nazi's have done in the past.

It's almost like we didn't learn and instead introduce most of what hitler did during his time.

>>30085101
If only Wargaming was filled with Neonazis of slavic descent rather then soviet fanboys.

So I can have uber mauses with railguns or nazi plasma guns.

>>30087749
>implying wehraboos are any better than slavboos

Given the state of the nip superheavies, I'd say things are leaning more in the full-out weeb direction lately

>>30085568
Tank jumps are my fetish

>The E-Series

>Heinz Guderian: Jesus Christ, our Panzer production is rife with inefficiencies. Seriously why are we still producing full Panzer III's when STuG's will do. Boys, I want you to begin the designing a next generation panzer series that takes cues from the Americans. Standardized parts for our armour, no more special snowflakes!

>Designers: Yes Herr General!

A few months later

>Guderian: Mein Fuhrer, we call it the Entwicklung Series. With it we can reduce efficiency of our production plants and speed up replacement part production

>Hitler: Why is there no E-100

>Guderian: My Fuhrer?

>Hitler: I want to see a master tank for the whole world to tremble at! DO IT NOW! AND IN THE MEANTIME, WHERE THE HELL IS MY MAUS!

>Guderian: .......

And that's why the E-100 was a waste of time.

>>30084852
Best tank in the world.

>>30084920

because it never had a turret, development stopped at one chassis completed, it's all "supposed" variants

If the germans were competent, they would've had the t-54 by the middle of the war.

The germans weren't competent.

>>30084852
Yes.
