The Maus is a tank to be feared if used in the right hands. Capable of receiving mind boggling amounts of damage and being able to dish out a fair bit of its own especially at range with a good deal of accuracy the Maus is a tank to be feared and respected. While not having the speed and agility of the IS7 it makes up for it in the fact it is a semi-mobile bunker. It has the thickest frontal armor out of all the tier 10 heavies and the most health. A good Maus driver can usually be seen leading up the main advance or sniping enemies attempting to enter the base.

Historical Info
Panzerkampfwagen VIII was a German World War II super-heavy tank completed in late 1944. It is the heaviest fully enclosed armoured fighting vehicle ever built. Only one complete prototype was built before the testing grounds were captured by the advancing Soviets.
That single complete prototype unit underwent trials in late 1944. It was 10.2 metres (33 ft 6 in) long, 3.71 metres (12 ft 2 in) wide and 3.63 metres (11.9 ft) tall. Weighing 200 metric tons, the Maus's main armament was a 128 mm KwK 44 gun (55 calibers long barrel), based on the 12.8 cm Pak 44 anti-tank artillery piece, with a coaxial 75 mm gun. The 128 mm gun was powerful enough to destroy all enemy armored fighting vehicles at close or middle ranges, and even some at ranges exceeding 3500 meters.
The principal problem in development of the Maus was finding a powerful enough engine for its weight that could be carried in the tank. Though the design called for a maximum speed of 20 kilometres per hour (12 mph), no engine was found that could power the prototype to more than 13 kilometres per hour (8.1 mph) under ideal conditions. The weight also made it impossible to cross most bridges, but it could ford or submerge and use a snorkel to cross rivers.
