Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Good alpha damage
  • Excellent durability - large hitpoint pool (1700 hitpoints) and strong all-around armor
  • Excellent at sidescraping
  • Good gun depression (-8 degrees)
  • Excellent viewrange


Cons:


  • Very poor top speed and agility
  • Huge size and abysmal camouflage, easily spotted and hard to hide
  • Prominent turret cupola, an obvious weakspot (though decently armored)
  • Has a machinegun bulge on the upper frontal plate, which is a weakspot
  • Poor aim time and accuracy


Performance

Basically a premium equivalent of the VK100P, the Mauerbrecher breaks the mold of recent premium tanks in that it is decidedly inferior to its non-premium counterpart. It has even worse mobility and its armour, while good on paper, is riddled with weak spots that can be exploited even by lower tier tanks. In particular, its machinegun port, which can be penetrated from almost any angle, is the bane of this vehicle. The only effective way to exploit the armour on the Mauerbrecher is by sidescraping a wall to the right of the tank. That way, the machinegun port can be covered up and even the commander's hatch will remain behind the wall. As a result, using the Mauerbrecher to lead assaults, even when top tier, is a guarantee for disaster. This tank is best used in the support role. Ideally, it should follow other tanks and use them to hide its hull. This leaves only the commander's hatch as a potential weak spot. Thanks to its hardhitting gun, the Mauerbrecher can be effective against higher tier vehicles, but its vulnerability only increases at higher tiers.

Historical Info

The in-game VK.168.01 (P) is based on an intermediate step in the development of the Maus, specifically the blueprint K.3384, dated to October 5, 1942.

(See the Mauschen for more info.)

During the development of the Pz.Kpfw. VIII Maus, a redesigned blueprint was presented by Porsche on October 5th, 1942. By October 28th, blueprint K.3384 was ready. The mass of the tank increased only a little bit compared to the late June version, a mere 10 tons. The tank, however, changed beyond all recognition. The new turret had a larger turret ring, so the sloped sides had to go. the turret is now placed at the frontal of the vehicle. The hull resembled a box with a sloped rear and front. There was a new feature, a machinegun mount in the hull. Due to the longer and heavier hull, there were now 8 road wheels per side. For ease of service, instead of one wide track, there were now two narrower ones, like on the VK 40.01(P).

In early November of 1942, the tank was reworked again. By November 14th, blueprint K.3385 (presented in-game as the Mauschen) was ready, where the turret moved to the rear of the hull. Similar metamorphoses happened to the Porsche Typ 180 heavy tank (VK 45.01(P)).

Historical Accuracy Errata

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

* The 15 cm guns proposed for this design, the 15 cm KwK L/31 and the 15 cm KwK L/37, are unavailable in-game.
  • The armor of VK.168.01 were significantly decreased compared to the Mauschen for balancing reasons.
