At least i found good infos on the Maus (mouse).

WHOHOO!
...
"Maus' main gun could penetrate front, side and rear armor (at 30 degrees from vertical) of Sherman, Cromwell, Churchill, T-34/85 and JS-2 tanks at ranges of 3500+ meters."
...
"Its running gear designed by Skoda, consisted of double-wheeled trucks supported by twelve return rollers with 1100mm wide tracks. The crew had to be provided with oxygen supplied by built-on fans/ventilators when all the hatches were closed."
...
"In order to transport the Maus, special 14-axle railroad transport car (Verladewagon) was produced by Graz-Simmering-Pauker Works in Vienna."

Ah yes, the Maus. For CM, I really like playing with the exotic cats and other weird equipment from the various sides but the Maus, if it did make it into CMBB, would be too much trouble to keep in the fight. The sheer weight of that thing is immense, and Tigers are heavy enough. Take it off the road and the thing is sure to bog in all but the most favorable terrain.
