    To add a little more to the mystery about the hull's fate, around 7 years ago a survey done of the area found a lot of stuff buried under the ground which was thought to probably be military vehicles. As far as I know the area the tanks were once placed is now part of a parking lot so its unlikely to be dug up anytime soon.
    If you still can't get enough E-100 in your life head on over to my second channel and catch the video uploaded just after this one showing some gameplay of this beast: ua-cam.com/video/5oyVzwpD3Qo/v-deo.html

    I think one major point that seems forgotten on why the Maus was chosen over the E-100 was that Ferdinand Porsche was friends with Hitler. The only reason the Porsche Tiger wasn't chosen during the Tiger I development was because the Porsche Tiger caught on fire during the live demo in front of the dictator himself. Hitler had no choice but to choose the Henschel design to save face.
    Ferdinand was so certain his relationship with Hitler would secure him the Tiger contract that he even started production of his Tiger before it was even decided. These Porsche Tigers were converted to the Ferdinand Tank Destroyers later updated to the Elephant.
    The disaster with the Porsche Tiger put the Porsche company in a hard spot, so Ferdinand solicited his friend Hitler with a new tank design and the dictator accepted it to help his buddy.

      Henschel already had a Produktion ready Tank in Stock at the time... and the Porsche-tiger was yet in development. The VK 3601 was proven funktional. So the Henschel-tiger was less likly to fail. The VK3601 hulls (where the Tiger1 was based on had already a Faktory usage as "Raupenschlepper")

      Its simple physics. The barrel weight and overhang along with stress on the suspension would make the front suspension give out rather quickly. Which is an issue when your tank is already expensive beyond reason.

      With such a long and heavy gun, it likely would've been necessary to mount it at the rear despite this requiring additional engineering work to move the engine to the front and redesign the drive train. A Jagdtiger configuration would've been *very* front-heavy.

While a simulator (if one exists) would likely be more realistic, warunder is a good mix of realism and fun, which a simulator isn't for most people's opinions. Warthunder is more realistic, Wold of Tanks is arcade, whichever one is more fun is up to the player.

    Personal theory: Maus was mostly chosen due to the electric drive putting out more torque which would mean it would be less likely to get completely bogged down and less taxing to shift gears, and secondly, with the low potential top speed and the rapidly decreasing number of trained crews, being able to get it onto train and rail drive it was seen as more valuable than a tank that was lighter but too wide to fit through rail tunnels. Again, that's just my theory.

    • @Axquirix

      I think the intention might have been that the Tiger-Maus was going to have narrower transport tracks and that the outer road wheels would be removed, similar to the Tiger and as suggested by the removable side skirts. Still a lot of work either end compared to the Maus' ability to just drive onto the rail car, though.

      It's only high value to tank nerds. It had very little impact on the development of tanks from WW2 onwards, especially considering there were plenty of captured panthers in allied hands which conveyed similar design goals and technologies. Even the tank mad nazi regime didn't finish the E-100, and when the Soviets were building their superheavy tanks they went in a completely different direction from the German tanks with their IS-3s and so on.

I spent around 7 hours there walking line after line of Armor out in the open. I also visited with the Museum staff for a bit when looking at the 80cm projectiles and cartridge case then held at the time out behind the museum.

      If the hull went to Harry Pound's yard there's further doubt about its location. At the time the hull was disposed of by the British Army Pound's yard was located in Portchester to the NW of the Tipner yard. Pound's yard was relocated to Tipner when the original site was sold to Vosper Thorneycroft. It seems unlikely that tanks for scrap would have been moved rather than being cut up but there's always a chance.

    Great video! It's always nice to learn more about these hidden gems of behemoths the E-100 and the Maus have been.
    About why the Maus was chosen rather the E-100: I assume it was less the issue of production value or material cost. Ferdinand Porsche was at that time a close friend of Hitler and as such the Führer prefered the designs of his company much more than others. It's the same with the Tiger Porsche and Tiger Henschel, since Hitler didn't show any interest in the Henschel design during the presentation of both Tiger designs. The only reason why the Porsche design didn't make it was that the tanks engine immediately burst into flames during demonstration and with that the Henschel got his chance to prove himself.
    So yeah, I think it was the typical political game of the Third Reich that killed the E-100's support.

      To add on to this, the German bureaucracy was very inefficient at best. Even before the war, hitler would order redundant departments to be made and have them compete with each other for funding and relevance, sometimes on purpose. Many military projects were accepted or declined based on personal preference of higher ups. Cone actually touches on that a little when he mentions Krupp went over Speers head to try and get personal approval from hitler himself.

Sometimes Hitler would order an identical department be created to solve a problem that fell under the other department and just never tell the finance ministers which version of the department was authorized to receive funding, and sometimes even without making clear which ones had legal authority. Imagine having two FDAs, neither of which know if they have the authority to regulate food, neither of which share any communication, and neither of which know if they're the FDA that's supposed to be funded. Frankly it's kinda amazing the German government functioned at all during that time.

    From what I remember of the talk about the Jagd E100's introduction to WoT, the justification WG used for using a rear mount vs a center mount was the engineering solution mirroring that of Krupp's Jagdpanzer IV and Jagdpanther 12.8cm designs. By mounting in the rear the weight is distributed across the whole chassis and potentially allowing more crew space

    As for not going with the Tiger-Maus in 1943. One might consider the negative impact it would have had on Tiger II production. One could also look at the US M4/M26 production problem. SPGs were to be made with the M26 chassis but that was dropped due to the need for every single M26 tank off the line. So M4 chassis were used for the M40/43s.

    With regard to the StuG E-100, a centrally mounted casemate as on the Jagdtiger would certainly be preferable since it wouldn't require moving the engine and redesigning the drive train. But the weight and length of the 17cm gun might've made that too front-heavy. So a rear-mounted casemate like World of Tanks depicts it might have been necessary.

I might have approached it a little differently, but I too note that the Maus turret, which this kit uses with the hull, is way too big. It would just bog down and slow down anywhere. I figured that out before I saw this video.
