Hey 5qu1rr3l,

you can reduce the poly count drastically on your model if you use the "smooth" modifier on round things like the barrels or the fuel tank (F9 edit panel,somewhere down in the middel)- it makes objects look "round" although they arent. The tracks dont need to be worked out in that detail, too, you do most of that stuff with textures- thats the complicated part with alpha textures and stuff, better ask the pros on this

That is a very good question to be honest, i would love to know myself.

[THeTA0123]

Go to the Kubinka tank musuem to find that out. IF the russians allow you inside. The maus there is in theory a "complete" maus if it was ever produced. As the production turret and production hull (one of each ever completed) where mated.

[5qu1rr3l]

Maybe Try to match some the bigger tanks inside?

Take a few "Good" ideas historically from like the panther and tiger and stick them in the maus? cause that would be my guess on what they actually tryed to do?

 Take what is already good and make it better? am i right?

This is FH2 though, so all you need is to know what gun sights it was planned on using. Didn't the Maus have the same gun as the Jagdtiger? 128mm?

It means the tanks range cross-road.

Yes it was planned on using a 128mm bigger than ANY modern tank that i can think of atm.

It had a larger calibre gun than any tank in service now, but the largest calibre gun to be installed in a tank that saw service, were the 152mm M162 and M81 which armed the M60A2 Patton 'Starship' and M551 Sheridan.

*cough* ISU-152.

[Flippy Warbear]

ISU isnt a tank thought. It is by russian standards a self-propelled gun while everyone else says its an assault gun, either way its not a tank.

this^

then the russian 2S7 "Pion" would be the winner, with a 203MM field gun.
