The Mäuschen is a German tier 9 heavy tank.
In summer 1942, the Porsche company received an order for the development of an assault tank with as much protection as possible and a powerful gun. One of the results of the superheavy Maus tank's development was the Typ 205 Mäuschen, a design project with the same interior. Existed only in blueprints.
The Mäuschen (Little Mouse) was first introduced in 8.8 Version of WoT as new predecessor of the Maus but later removed since it was deemed very unbalanced (practically unbeatable against tier 7 and many tier 8s due to its armor and 150mm gun, while being very underpowered in tier 10 matches). It was reintroduced in 9.17.1 patch with buffed health, mobility and gun stats, but with no longer having a 150mm gun as option and with less side and rear armor.
The Mäuschen leads to the Maus.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
-Very thick armor for Tier 9, Although it just a slight increase from VK 100.01
-Highest HP of any Tier 9 Tanks (2300), higher than many Tier 10 Heavies.
-Second heaviest tank in the game (Nearly 170 tons), extremely resistant to ramming
-Low chance of catching fire with top engine (12%)
-All of its equipment doesn't need treads to support more weight
-Decent aiming time with top gun
Cons:
-Very slow and large; main target for SPGs.
-Somewhat low rate of fire for its alpha
-Flat side armor
-Slow traverse speed.
-Although huge cupolar is thickly armored, It can be penetrated especially when sidescraping

Historical Info
The in-game Mauschen is based on an intermediate step in the development of the Maus, specifically the blueprint K.3384, dated to October 5th, 1942.
On June 25th, 1942, Krupp supplied the first draft of a completely reworked turret. Almost a month later, on July 17th, the 6th Waffenamt and Krupp signed contract #SS 006-4467/42 for the development of a turret for the Pz.Kpfw. Maus. The 128 and 105 mm guns were left out, and the designers settled on a 149 mm gun. The length of the barrel was reduced to 31 calibers, which was about the same as the sFH 18 gun family. The gun, indexed 15 cm KwK L/31, had one piece ammunition.
Nevertheless, the 15 cm L/31 gun remained in correspondence until March of 1943. A coaxial 75 mm L/24 gun was meant to fight infantry and lightly armoured targets. The armour thickness of the turret was 250 mm in the front, 200 in the sides and rear, and 80 mm in the roof. Overall, the turret weighed 57 tons, including the weight of 25 149 mm shells and 50 75 mm shells.
Even though the turret was designed for the 15 cm KwK L/31, the Porsche K.G. project supported the guns proposed in June requirements: the 15 cm KwK L/37 or 12.8 cm KwK. Both guns had a portion of their ammunition in the turret and a portion in the sponsons. None of the guns had the 100 rounds that Hitler demanded. By October of 1942, the mass of the turret and armament was estimated at 47 tons.
The redesigned Pz.Kpfw. Maus 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 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).
The project was proposed in two variants. The first, indexed Typ 205A, had a 12 cylinder V-type water cooled 42.4 L Daimler-Benz diesel engine, which produced 1000 hp at 2400 RPM. The second, Typ 205B, had a Typ 141 engine developed by Porsche K.G. This was an 18 cylinder air cooled 41.5 L diesel engine that produced 780 hp at 2400 RPM.

Historical Accuracy Errata
The Designed Mäuschen (See Historical Gallery above) is front-turreted, But it was rear-turreted in-game.
- Consider the fact that WG were currently developing a front-turreted version of Mäuschen as tier 8 premiums known as VK 168.01 (P), and there's no proposal to had rear-turreted version of second development phase of Maus, this vehicle presented in-game is likely nonexist.
- 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.
