Actually jingles, there were 2 hulls build and 1 turret. Also there were 4 more hulls and some turrets in various states of completion before the project was cancelled. At Krupp there were also lots of cut steelplates found for the Maus. Krupp said in 44 that if the project was restarted they had enough parts to build around 30-40 hulls and turrets. Both hulls underwent trials in Böblingen and later Kummersdorf. Hull 1 was fitted with an E-Turm (just a big weight to represent the turren) while Hulls 2 was fitted with the only finished turret. Hull2 with the turrent was blown up by the germans when the soviets reached Kummersdorf. Soviets did firetests on hull 1 and then fitted the turret of hull 2 to hull 1 and sent the Maus to Kubinka, where it was stripped of engine and all interior parts and is still there today. Some people even think Maus 2 might have even fired in the last days of the war while defending Kummersdorf before it was blown up, but there is no evidence of that. So going by that the Maus was much more of a finished tank then most of the "prototypes" in World of Tanks, especially the ones that seem to defy physics (or at least the technical expertise of the time they were designed). It is one thing to draw up a 60 ton tank that can go 60km/h but quite another to find or build the components to do that, especially in the 1930-50 era.
Maus was fully built (V2) V1 had the weight tested turret, they supposedly attached another V2 turret to V1 when they sent them out. With so little surviving documentation left after WW2 it's fair to question it but the thing is sitting in Kublinka for goodness sake
Yeah if I'm remembering things correctly, V1 was the 1st built (the prototype, mostly used for testing), and V2 was the production model and the only truly completed Maus (I believe they had also gotten few hulls in the works as well). V2 was scuttled by the Germans before the Russians got to it (the only thing that was really intact was V2's turret, it was also apparently a tremendous effort to remove it off the hull's remains, requiring 6 half-tracks), the Germans ultimately failed to skuttle V1 (if I remember correctly, the explosives failed to detonate), and it had been captured largely intact by the Russians. The Russians would then put V2's turret onto V1's hull, and had the Maus undergo testing at Kubinka, where it remains now as an empty hulk. The E-100, however, the only thing to prove its existence as being a tank that was actually built is an unfinished hull that the British captured and scrapped.
5:30 "The commander's cupola is a weakspot" No it's not. 220mm in front, 175 on the sides and back. Lower plate's 135mm, but effectively 200-220 on flat ground. You want to hit the sloped plate on the other side of the roof from the cupola for overmatch- it's 40mm.
He keeps saying the max speed is 20 while Bullit driving on 24 lmao. For those who don't know, he's using Turbocharger equipment which add solid 4 Km/H forward and 2 Km/h backward. He could add 1 more Km to that if he unlocked field mod for another equipment type slot thingy. This tank is a good fun. I actually love it.
Always nice to see a fellow Dutchie. Yeah you are right about him discussing this plan in the chat, alongside some discussion about how to position the tank and what the AMX is doing.
The VK 100.01 P knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the VK 100.01 P from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the VK 100.01 P is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the VK 100.01 P must also know where it was.
That “weak spot” cupola on the turret is still 220mm base armour frontally. If you don’t have a square-on shot, good luck. I have this tank, it’s my go-to if I need to rack up blocked damage. Can use the cupola to bait shots, jink about to mess up their aim. Just gotta keep them off your flank, hide that paper lower plate and you’re gold.
@@timeforgottenprince8271 Even then it can still troll many tanks. ...mostly even and lower tier obviously, but had plenty of games where the damage report coming in of shots blocked is just a thick band of gold.
I had a very similar scenario a couple of years ago on Westfield. Down to two tanks, me in a Matilda and an enemy driving a Stuart. After lurking around my base for a while I decided to chance it and make a dash (as much of a dash as one can make in a Matilda) towards the enemy cap, knowing if I got too far and he started capping me I was done. As it happened, I got about halfway when I heard my cap alarm start blaring -- drove back, with the counter running down to its last few seconds and me still not seeing anyone in the cap. I fired a few shots into a destructible house in desperation, and there he was! Luckily for me he was down to a sliver of health and all it took was one shot -- in the literal last second of the countdown -- to knock him out. I always wondered how he felt being on the receiving end of that match lol
A few years ago I was playing on Ruinberg in my Pz 1 C and it was me against one enemy with 7 mins to go. I rolled my tank on its side and waited for a death that never came....it ended in a draw. After the battle I messaged the player on the other team and told him that he should have come looking for me because I'd rolled and they could have had an easy win. They replied saying that they'd done exactly the same thing and rolled their tank as well!
My taste is significantly more rotten because my mind went to Fallout Boy. Yes, I know, I am deservedly ashamed of it, it's not even a guilty pleasure, just a lack of knowledge.
@@scoman91 significantly more rotten? Are you insinuating that my taste is rotten because my mind went to AC/DC, one of the greatest rock bands of all time? Though I may have some personal bias seeing as I’m Australian.
@@luckysamurai no you nitwit they said their taste is significantly more rotten, SIGNIFICANTLY MORE being the keywords there. Basically they’re saying whilst my taste is rotten, theirs is SIGNIFICANTLY MORE rotten. If they said their taste is rotten that would have been it, but by saying significantly more rotten, they also said my taste was rotten, though not as rotten as theirs. It’s basic comprehension. For example, if I were to say Justice League is significantly more terrible than Batman v Superman, I am also saying Batman v Superman is terrible, just not as terrible as Justice League. If I were to say Justice League is terrible, then I am just saying Justice League is terrible, that’s it. It may seem like a little detail, but to the more observant and attentive, it stands out like a sore thumb.
Actually Jingles, one Maus tank was build, but before it could get to the front lines, the German forces in that area had already been obliterated so the crew decided to blow it up from inside and joined the other fleeing soldiers. The russian forces found the hull and the turret, I cant really remember from the top of my head which one of those parts was too damaged to be used, but I know the got either the turret or the hull from german factories, got it together with the damaged one and moved it (after testing) to Kubinka museum (which was the main reason I visited Russia). By the way love the content, I hope everything with the house and stuff is going well. I am actually about to join the army (going to the University of Defence in Czech Republic) to join our pretty bad and very small tank force as a commander :D
Actually Jingles: The Panzer 7 "Maus" existed and still does in Kubinka Tank museum. Two hulls were build, one for testing with a mockup turret and and the one in Kubinka with the real turret. It was scuttled howerver, before the allies could get hands on it. Good thing im wearing a flak jacket today.
Actually the the Maus in Kubinka was the one with the mock-up turret. The one originally made for the real turret was destroyed but the Soviets managed to recover that turret and put on the first hull.
10:00 Actually, Jingles, there is the possibility that the enemy light (i was tempted to write DD) perma spotted him from the moment he killed the arty. So you can never be 100% sure if still being spotted or not until the light bulb pops up again.
this was easily my fav tier 8 heavy. when i played it it was just a massive beast and even in tier 9 and 10 games I was doing very good thanks to the armour
In all WG Games, the mid tiers are so much more fun. Tier 10 ist always meta slave gold (for tanks) or HE (for ships) spam while camping hulldown or at range. Tier 9 is rolling the dice on the matchmaker but can be fun because of EXP gains. Anything below that ist actual fun gameplay... And tier 3-4 and below is sealclubbing, which is also fun :D
@@seamon9732 if the average player was on KotS levels that would be another story. The cynical part of me tell me to afk the first 10 minutes of every match because NOTHING happens. People try to emulate what they see streamers etc do but they don't understand the reasoning and tactics so it turns into a monkey parade. I am by no means a great player, carry potential of a cucumber and my aim is about as crisp as milk. But it's a hard to watch people who must have turn off their minimap complain about shitty teams while hugging the border out of range of their main guns. So I try to keep it tier 8 and below for my own sanity :)
@@Terrados1337 I'm with you on this. KOTS has no relevance to the vast majority of players. It's like judging your primary school basketball games by looking at a NBA game :) I sincerely think many players either can't read a map (quite possible, given that they're so young they've probably never seen a real map in their lives) or have it minimised because it gets in their way :)
Getting my first and only tier 10 was an epiphany for me. Playing at T10 felt hollow because the earned xp was useless. That's when I realized I was playing for the grind but for fun. That's when I quit both wot and wows and never looked back. I still like a well commentated replay but will only play games that I actually enjoy.
Actually Jingles they did built a second Maus turret with the actual intended armament for the V2 prototype hull. So you can therefore say they did build the Maus.
Maus was running and had both hull and turret and weapons, you can see many photos from the war, including photos where it was destroyed. Today there is still one complete vehicle in Russia. What has only hull was the E-100 that should have come after the Maus, but was never finished.
I made it to tier 8 in the US, USSR, China, Italy and Swedish lines and now I'm just playing this game for fun ....I already get into enough 9 an 10 battles now is time to enjoy WOT 😁
Correction: the maus had a fully assembled unit, and a concrete turret for training and prototyping Two hulls existed, one on the complete version, and the other was being finished The E100 only had an incomplete hull, no working or even blueprint turret
In March 1944 the second prototype, the V2, was delivered. It differed in many details from the V1 prototype. In mid-1944, the V2 prototype was fitted with a powerplant and the first produced Maus turret. This turret was fitted with a 128 mm KwK 44 L/55 gun, a coaxial 75 mm KwK 44 L/36.5 gun and a coaxial 7.92 mm MG 34. The V1 prototype was supposed to be fitted with the second produced turret, but this never happened. By July 1944, Krupp was in the process of producing four more Maus hulls, but they were ordered to halt production and scrap these. Krupp stopped all work on it in August 1944. Meanwhile, the V2 prototype started tests in September 1944, fitted with a Daimler-Benz MB 517 diesel engine,[8] new electric steering system and a Skoda Works-designed running gear and tracks. and they have 1 in the kubinka tank museum in russia build from spare parts of the V1 and V2 after they had blown it up
There where two hulls build for the maus and one of those hulls actually had a turret so there was a fully working prototype of the mouse. In the end the turret was put on the second hull and the whole thing was moved to the kubinka tank museum in moscow(russia).
Jingles I don’t know what you’re talking about with the Maus, it very much was a fully functioning prototype, heck they built 2, one with a functional turret and gun and the other with a mock up turret for mobility trials, both had functioning engines and transmissions and were capable of moving under their own power, they were just scuttled by the Germans at the end of the war so the Soviets wouldn’t get their hands on them, the remains of both were salvaged into what sits in Kubinka today.
Nice assumption Jingles on the 6th sense skill although they didn’t discuss in the chat in Dutch - it was mainly on the location and cap circle positioning - keep the videos coming - they are lovely with the British humour
Jingles overanalysed the situation near end game. The VK's best option indeed was to go to enemy cap to lure the AMX and even if AMX had started capping when VK was near enemy cap, he would have made it in time, give or take a second
They built 2 Maus tanks, one was just a hull with a concrete mockup for the turret for testing the suspension system of the vehicle, the second had its real turret including the guns which is on display in a Russian tank museum. It consists of the first prototypes hull with the seconds turret. The Germans attempted to sabotage them before retreating from the approaching Soviets by blowing one up and pulling the turret off the other. The bombs did very little damage to the hull.
...and even if reliability was good and fuel was available, it can't go anywhere because there aren't any bridges in Europe that can support it. But it's still vulnerable to having a 500 pound bomb dropped on its roof by an attack plane :)
@@kaltaron1284 you're right, that was the plan, but I don't think this was feasible, either. The mud and silt on the bottom of many rivers might get the tank bogged down. Imagine being stuck at the bottom of a river, under water, in a 188 ton tank. That's a very impressive coffin :) Much later, in the sixties, with more advanced technology available, the Soviets tried this during a huge military exercise involving thousands of tanks. It included a mass crossing of a river by driving through it. Dozens of tanks didn't make it, lost their way, drove in circles etc. in spite of the fact that a T-62 only weighed 37 tons.
@@johnnyenglish583 Never said it was a good plan. I'd even call it a bad one. But it was the only option for the Maus. Which might be part of the reason why the project never progressed further than a few prototypes if even that.
Even the enemy AMX was Dutch, Edwin is a typical Dutch name, and he was just 15 years old........ BTW, the type 64 is my clan mate..... perfect conversation in chat!!!
On tanks that existed. When I was in training at Fort Benning Georgia, I got to see examples of the T29 series being restored before being later moved to the new museum down there. It caught me off guard because I didn't realize they had existed, let alone still existed and there I was going through WOT withdraw on a ruck march and there they were. I went fan boy real quick. Haha.
When I was going up the line to the Maus I loved this tank and would heartily recommend it to anyone. The Mauschen however was hot garbage and a real pain to get through.
I haven't played WoT ever since the number of science-fiction tanks in top tiers exceeded the number of real tanks, but I have to say, the graphics department at WoT is even better than that at WoWS. The graphics is just amazing. That burning building at the enemy cap... the smoke is just so good. In fact, it's one thing that's missing in WoWS - smoke isn't voluminous enough. But here.. wow!
Maus did exist in at least 1 actual prototype. It blew itself up however because of a loading failure and the breech failed to close. There are photos of it if you look it up. One of the current "reproductions" of the maus , if you wanna call it that, actually is made out of the turret of said detonated tank. Either way technically the maus existed
You’re thinking of the E-100 with the hulls and mock turret, Jingles.. They built two Mauses and one of them fought on the Eastern front. To my knowledge the other kinda just sat in Berlin until the Russians showed up.
Yeah, I gotta agree with Jingles on the 12t. He likely flipped himself or otherwise got stuck somewhere. The only other possibility is that the player had a really badly timed call of nature that he/she couldn't ignore.
They did finnish the Maus. They made 2 tanks. One with the mockup turret that you mentioned and another one 100% finnished and combat ready. The hull of the completed one was destroyed by the germans because they didn't want it to end up in enemy hands, but the turret was relatively intact. Soviet enginers put the real turret on the other prototype that had the dummy turret and conducted field trials with it to see how it would have performed if the germans got it in production. It is currently on display in a museum in russia. I don't remember where though.
It took me over 6 years to go down this tech tree but i quickly realized how awesome this tank is, i mean i was skeptical cause i could mostly deal with these tanks easily. Either way i was wrong.. On average i was scoring over 4k each battle just in dmg..
*Maus.* Sorry Jingles, The Maus DID exist. *One and a half* of them to be precise. 1 fully build found by the USSR abandoned lonely road. In the facility along that road the other one was found without a turret. the one that was finished and rolled out: It had a turret with a working gun and ammo. In my book: a fully functioning tank! *Dutch.* They were indeed discussing if the AMX was waiting at the base and hoping the AMX would not cap in the meantime he was moving. I consider the AMX flipped on his side somewhere.
From the first message of Druppie (Dutch for droplet=D and B=Bullitburst): D: This is a difficult choice B: Yes, I don't know :c B: I'm average/bad D: I would go to the other cap B: But what if he goes to cap B: I'll have 90s? D: Because he thinks that you'll stay in our cap B: Hmmm... B: Just gotta hope D: Just get in the back of the cap with the nose pointing forward B: that he doesn't go to cap B: where? B: can you ping? B: Oke let's go D: Straight ahead in the corner near that low wall D: Now turn your ass around D: Stop B: okii B: I think he's here D: yeah, but he needs ten shells for you B: He pens me badly anyway D: you only need one D: only your rear is weak B: He'll shoot HE B: 100% B: gg? D: he wants to survive B: no ace unfortunately
I love the VK100.01 P, it's like driving a Maus without dealing with the bullshit of tier 10 all the time, and if you happen to be top tier even if tier 6's fire gold at your weak points they are unlikely to be able to do anything
I believe they built 2 Maus one of which was used in battle where it ran out of gas, was abandoned and captured. It now is the one on display in a Tank Museum in Moscow I believe.
Today, Mighty Jingles forgets that Maus V2 was a fully functional tank, and only Maus V1 had a mockup turret. That is despite that the functional turret is on display in Kublinka (With most of the insides gutted out after the Soviets blew it up for no reason).
I’m willing to throw my hat into the ring in regards to if said tanks actually existed or not. To me, a tank theoretically exists if there were blueprints for it at the very least. That shows that it COULD have been made, since the IDEA for it existed and was put into plans to make it. I don’t count tank designs that may have just been written down on the back of a napkin during an engineer’s coffee break, but if there were actual blueprints, schematics and plans to make a tank, that’s something Wargaming can work around when implementing the tanks in question, as opposed to just making it up themselves. The VK 16.02 Leopard for instance was never even built, yet there were blueprints for it and that is what Wargaming used to implement the tank instead of just making the figures up themselves. The KV-4 and KV-5 were also just blueprints and never even entered the prototype stage, yet their blueprints existed and so how they appear in game was how they’d have appeared in real life. If World of Tanks has only WW2 tanks, then the Alecto shouldn’t be in there, since whilst a few Alecto tanks were completed and served briefly with the British Army in Germany, they only arrived in the immediate post-war period. Once more, to me a tank existed if it reached the stage where blueprints were drawn up to show HOW the tank would be built. It doesn’t have to have any prototypes built, the blueprints are the bare minimum since it is at least SOMETHING to go off of.
Exactly. to claim it didn't exist purely because it wasn't built is preposterous. sure things like the tornvagn which was literally just a concept drawing that wasn't even given a name are not counted as having existed. but if the plans were laid out and something could have been built it then that thing existed as a potential reality had other tanks not been chosen instead of them or technology have allowed for them to be made. they aren't historically accurate but they did exist.
Wait .. i thought the Maus V1 hull was fully functional with a dummy turret and the later tested V2 even had an actual turret with working 128 fitted in 1944...
Speaking about the existing and non-existing tanks in the game. I recently decided to go back in WoT to play a little bit and I remember tier 8 battles were my favorite ones. Now it a shitshow of a premium tanks and some strange tank designs, that never existed. The old tanks, like Tiger 2, are so painful to play! All those new loading mechanics.. It's this stupid "arms race" that kills half of the tanks. The premiums are just loading gold ammo, deleting your hp and they are not even trying to tank damage, maneuver or something. Most “funny” thing I encountered was me driving my getting in a base defense situation, where I was against Tornvagn and I was in a T-28 prot. All I was seeing is his damn turret and artillery was firing at me. That was fun! And about the gold - I was driving obj. 257 and encountered the E 100. His first shot didn’t penetrate, so he just loaded gold after that, and fired nothing than gold ammo.
I'd say the Maus existed as a tank. Did it have a fully furnished and equipped turret? Maybe more than you'd think. Gun was mounted, the vehicle was driving, and the coax gun was also mounted. Could it have fired? Most likely, but the Russians overran the whole place and the Germans tried to destroy everything left behind so who's to really say? I mean multiple E100 hulls also existed and were basically ready for turrets to be mounted, so I'd even count that one as well.
Do gou get bonds for ace tanker battles??? I'm just curious because I don't have anything above tier 4 right now and nothing has the ability to earn bonds. Yet I've gotten 50, 2 sets of 25 from battles i was playing late at night against bots
Your philosophical discussion of whether a specific tank does or does not exist is, I believe, a matter better suited to those who go to tank museums, and like to climb all over the machinery and watch them belch black smoke. And I admit that there is a certain admiration due for this almost religious dedication to "purity" (and I'm not referring to JIngles), but I am reminded of something that happened to me once. I was playing in a (live) poker tournament, and I was making sport of the format of Texas Hold 'Em Poker. A lady at the table took extraordinary umbrage at my remarks, saying that I was "disrespecting" the game, and demanded that I apologize. The only response that I could make (and it stopped the argument) was that "it's only a fucking game, and the only respect it is due, as a game, is zero". I feel the same way about WOT. I enjoy playing and have done so for years, but I am not outraged about the fact that if they don't make a profit for the owners, they will close shop. And since they're not a "Next Chapter" game, like Red Dead Whatever, they must indulge in a sort of rolling re-invention to continue to suck money out of us. Tech companies are easy to shut down, and the owners of WarGaming could as easily close the doors and go live in Malta with other Russian rich people and be perfectly happy. I would not.
I can also very easily imagine that it's the case here. Could just see him, -for my inner eye on his side somewhere, unable to get up. Probably not even helped by allies, who thought: "we don't need that noob, we can handle ourselves" Then the ironic reality strikes, the team fall one by one through the match many to the gun of this player, and there's only him left, flipped and can't get up. But well played anyway
Actually 2 Maus hulls were build and one with a turret. Both were wracked before the Soviets captured Kummersdorf and they capture the wracks and pasted them together. In Kubinka is the hull of prototype 2 and the turret of prototype 1.
Actually the VK 100.01P was a real thing, it was a lighter predecessor of the maus and was planned to use a 105mm instead of the 128mm. Nothing ever came of it as the maus was later designed and approved. I don’t remember exactly where I saw this but it was probably a video by the chieftain or tank encyclopedia or something like that
To be fair to Maus fans, one was sent to Berlin in the last days, to assist in the defence. As you'd expect from a German heavy tank, especially a not properly tested prototype, sent on a road march, it broke down before it got there and was scuttled by its own crew.
"scuttled"? Can you say that about a tank? Wasn't it "abandoned"? I've always thought "scuttling" meant opening the seacocks on your own ship - hardly an effective method for a tank on land :)
I was the enemy T29. The AMX just went afk without saying anything.

At Krupp there were also lots of cut steelplates found for the Maus. Krupp said in 44 that if the project was restarted they had enough parts to build around 30-40 hulls and turrets.
Both hulls underwent trials in Böblingen and later Kummersdorf. Hull 1 was fitted with an E-Turm (just a big weight to represent the turren) while Hulls 2 was fitted with the only finished turret. Hull2 with the turrent was blown up by the germans when the soviets reached Kummersdorf. Soviets did firetests on hull 1 and then fitted the turret of hull 2 to hull 1 and sent the Maus to Kubinka, where it was stripped of engine and all interior parts and is still there today.
Some people even think Maus 2 might have even fired in the last days of the war while defending Kummersdorf before it was blown up, but there is no evidence of that.
So going by that the Maus was much more of a finished tank then most of the "prototypes" in World of Tanks, especially the ones that seem to defy physics (or at least the technical expertise of the time they were designed). It is one thing to draw up a 60 ton tank that can go 60km/h but quite another to find or build the components to do that, especially in the 1930-50 era.
Was coming here to post this; Cheers!
read rumor that a maus was deployed to defend a town in the end but broke down in route.
@@animenut69 Never happened.
it was basically blown uip at the trial ground when the red army approached.
Maus was fully built (V2) V1 had the weight tested turret, they supposedly attached another V2 turret to V1 when they sent them out. With so little surviving documentation left after WW2 it's fair to question it but the thing is sitting in Kublinka for goodness sake
@John Milton nah hes just crap
Yeah if I'm remembering things correctly, V1 was the 1st built (the prototype, mostly used for testing), and V2 was the production model and the only truly completed Maus (I believe they had also gotten few hulls in the works as well). V2 was scuttled by the Germans before the Russians got to it (the only thing that was really intact was V2's turret, it was also apparently a tremendous effort to remove it off the hull's remains, requiring 6 half-tracks), the Germans ultimately failed to skuttle V1 (if I remember correctly, the explosives failed to detonate), and it had been captured largely intact by the Russians. The Russians would then put V2's turret onto V1's hull, and had the Maus undergo testing at Kubinka, where it remains now as an empty hulk.
The E-100, however, the only thing to prove its existence as being a tank that was actually built is an unfinished hull that the British captured and scrapped.
He is not researching his videos anymore!
What they have at Kublinka is merely an empty shell, hard to consider it anything else than a scrap of metal.
Probably got mixed up with the E100.
He proved himself much more than "average/bad" as he called himself, this was excellent play and good teamwork from the Dutchies ;) Well done!
yo rolf de bakker
5:30 "The commander's cupola is a weakspot"
No it's not. 220mm in front, 175 on the sides and back. Lower plate's 135mm, but effectively 200-220 on flat ground. You want to hit the sloped plate on the other side of the roof from the cupola for overmatch- it's 40mm.
It's high up and easy to hit, I'd count that as a weakspot.
I suspect the AMX flipped himself. There are so many places on this map for a small LT to flip itself. Unless you are an EBR.
I suspect thats what happened as well
He keeps saying the max speed is 20 while Bullit driving on 24 lmao.
For those who don't know, he's using Turbocharger equipment which add solid 4 Km/H forward and 2 Km/h backward. He could add 1 more Km to that if he unlocked field mod for another equipment type slot thingy.
This tank is a good fun. I actually love it.
Always nice to see a fellow Dutchie. Yeah you are right about him discussing this plan in the chat, alongside some discussion about how to position the tank and what the AMX is doing.
Got "The missile knows where it is" vibes from the explanation of how to know where the AMX 12 t is
The VK 100.01 P knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the VK 100.01 P from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the VK 100.01 P is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the VK 100.01 P must also know where it was.
You are right about the talks in the battle chat Jingles.
That “weak spot” cupola on the turret is still 220mm base armour frontally. If you don’t have a square-on shot, good luck. I have this tank, it’s my go-to if I need to rack up blocked damage. Can use the cupola to bait shots, jink about to mess up their aim. Just gotta keep them off your flank, hide that paper lower plate and you’re gold.
assuming you're not getting shot at by gold.
@@timeforgottenprince8271 Even then it can still troll many tanks. ...mostly even and lower tier obviously, but had plenty of games where the damage report coming in of shots blocked is just a thick band of gold.
Jingles is so good at narrating these battles that he almost makes WoT entertaining again. Well done to all involved.
I had a very similar scenario a couple of years ago on Westfield. Down to two tanks, me in a Matilda and an enemy driving a Stuart. After lurking around my base for a while I decided to chance it and make a dash (as much of a dash as one can make in a Matilda) towards the enemy cap, knowing if I got too far and he started capping me I was done. As it happened, I got about halfway when I heard my cap alarm start blaring -- drove back, with the counter running down to its last few seconds and me still not seeing anyone in the cap. I fired a few shots into a destructible house in desperation, and there he was! Luckily for me he was down to a sliver of health and all it took was one shot -- in the literal last second of the countdown -- to knock him out. I always wondered how he felt being on the receiving end of that match lol
A few years ago I was playing on Ruinberg in my Pz 1 C and it was me against one enemy with 7 mins to go. I rolled my tank on its side and waited for a death that never came....it ended in a draw.
After the battle I messaged the player on the other team and told him that he should have come looking for me because I'd rolled and they could have had an easy win. They replied saying that they'd done exactly the same thing and rolled their tank as well!
I see Jingles is a fan of AC/DC. That Back In Black reference in the title didn’t elude me my good sir.
My taste is significantly more rotten because my mind went to Fallout Boy. Yes, I know, I am deservedly ashamed of it, it's not even a guilty pleasure, just a lack of knowledge.
@@scoman91 significantly more rotten? Are you insinuating that my taste is rotten because my mind went to AC/DC, one of the greatest rock bands of all time? Though I may have some personal bias seeing as I’m Australian.
@@jakreu I literally said it was in the title.
@@JoshCreepa no you nitwit they are insinuating that they are the one whose taste is rotten not you
@@luckysamurai no you nitwit they said their taste is significantly more rotten, SIGNIFICANTLY MORE being the keywords there. Basically they’re saying whilst my taste is rotten, theirs is SIGNIFICANTLY MORE rotten. If they said their taste is rotten that would have been it, but by saying significantly more rotten, they also said my taste was rotten, though not as rotten as theirs. It’s basic comprehension. For example, if I were to say Justice League is significantly more terrible than Batman v Superman, I am also saying Batman v Superman is terrible, just not as terrible as Justice League. If I were to say Justice League is terrible, then I am just saying Justice League is terrible, that’s it. It may seem like a little detail, but to the more observant and attentive, it stands out like a sore thumb.
Actually Jingles, one Maus tank was build, but before it could get to the front lines, the German forces in that area had already been obliterated so the crew decided to blow it up from inside and joined the other fleeing soldiers. The russian forces found the hull and the turret, I cant really remember from the top of my head which one of those parts was too damaged to be used, but I know the got either the turret or the hull from german factories, got it together with the damaged one and moved it (after testing) to Kubinka museum (which was the main reason I visited Russia). By the way love the content, I hope everything with the house and stuff is going well. I am actually about to join the army (going to the University of Defence in Czech Republic) to join our pretty bad and very small tank force as a commander :D
The turret was destroyed but there was another turret for maus number 2 so the took hull number one and turret number 2 to make a whole maus
Actually Jingles: The Panzer 7 "Maus" existed and still does in Kubinka Tank museum. Two hulls were build, one for testing with a mockup turret and and the one in Kubinka with the real turret. It was scuttled howerver, before the allies could get hands on it.
Good thing im wearing a flak jacket today.
Actually the the Maus in Kubinka was the one with the mock-up turret. The one originally made for the real turret was destroyed but the Soviets managed to recover that turret and put on the first hull.
@@emberfist8347 right, i forgot. Still, both parts of the Maus existed
10:00 Actually, Jingles, there is the possibility that the enemy light (i was tempted to write DD) perma spotted him from the moment he killed the arty. So you can never be 100% sure if still being spotted or not until the light bulb pops up again.
Also im sure he was spotted by the M44 before he killed it.
this was easily my fav tier 8 heavy. when i played it it was just a massive beast and even in tier 9 and 10 games I was doing very good thanks to the armour
In all WG Games, the mid tiers are so much more fun. Tier 10 ist always meta slave gold (for tanks) or HE (for ships) spam while camping hulldown or at range. Tier 9 is rolling the dice on the matchmaker but can be fun because of EXP gains. Anything below that ist actual fun gameplay... And tier 3-4 and below is sealclubbing, which is also fun :D
WoWs T10 is much more than just spamming HE.
Watch the next King of the Sea tournaments, you'll see what it's all about.
@@seamon9732 if the average player was on KotS levels that would be another story. The cynical part of me tell me to afk the first 10 minutes of every match because NOTHING happens. People try to emulate what they see streamers etc do but they don't understand the reasoning and tactics so it turns into a monkey parade.
I am by no means a great player, carry potential of a cucumber and my aim is about as crisp as milk. But it's a hard to watch people who must have turn off their minimap complain about shitty teams while hugging the border out of range of their main guns. So I try to keep it tier 8 and below for my own sanity :)
@@Terrados1337 I'm with you on this. KOTS has no relevance to the vast majority of players. It's like judging your primary school basketball games by looking at a NBA game :)
I sincerely think many players either can't read a map (quite possible, given that they're so young they've probably never seen a real map in their lives) or have it minimised because it gets in their way :)
Getting my first and only tier 10 was an epiphany for me. Playing at T10 felt hollow because the earned xp was useless. That's when I realized I was playing for the grind but for fun. That's when I quit both wot and wows and never looked back. I still like a well commentated replay but will only play games that I actually enjoy.
Actually, Jingles, the V2 Maus did have a functional turret. Therefore, Maus V2 was a functional prototype.
If there's 2 tanks left in a battle. You can see the health of each tank. In this battle. The AMX-12t only had 361 health left vs over 1700 health
It's been a few years since I last played WoT but scouting with HP is still my favorite scouting tactic.
Specially in a heavy tank xD
Actually Jingles they did built a second Maus turret with the actual intended armament for the V2 prototype hull. So you can therefore say they did build the Maus.
Maus was running and had both hull and turret and weapons, you can see many photos from the war, including photos where it was destroyed. Today there is still one complete vehicle in Russia. What has only hull was the E-100 that should have come after the Maus, but was never finished.
@@eth_saver I think they only made a hull for the Panther II as well.
I made it to tier 8 in the US, USSR, China, Italy and Swedish lines and now I'm just playing this game for fun ....I already get into enough 9 an 10 battles now is time to enjoy WOT 😁
A good day when Jingles posts a video
Edit: Supremely satisfying watching him bounce all the E75 TS’s gold shells
The VKP is a hidden gem. Used it for a lot of blocking/shellproof missions for the the personal campaigns, even for the 279e ones.
Correction: the maus had a fully assembled unit, and a concrete turret for training and prototyping
Two hulls existed, one on the complete version, and the other was being finished
The E100 only had an incomplete hull, no working or even blueprint turret
That's a very pretty camo.
Also the gun has such a satisfying "Choom"
all the big guns have big voices when they speak, and yes, very pretty Camo he has on that behemoth. :)
In March 1944 the second prototype, the V2, was delivered. It differed in many details from the V1 prototype. In mid-1944, the V2 prototype was fitted with a powerplant and the first produced Maus turret. This turret was fitted with a 128 mm KwK 44 L/55 gun, a coaxial 75 mm KwK 44 L/36.5 gun and a coaxial 7.92 mm MG 34. The V1 prototype was supposed to be fitted with the second produced turret, but this never happened.
By July 1944, Krupp was in the process of producing four more Maus hulls, but they were ordered to halt production and scrap these. Krupp stopped all work on it in August 1944. Meanwhile, the V2 prototype started tests in September 1944, fitted with a Daimler-Benz MB 517 diesel engine,[8] new electric steering system and a Skoda Works-designed running gear and tracks.
and they have 1 in the kubinka tank museum in russia build from spare parts of the V1 and V2 after they had blown it up
It's crazy to see the guy I went to gradeschool with and started WoT with featured on here! Lekker gedaan pikkie!
There where two hulls build for the maus and one of those hulls actually had a turret so there was a fully working prototype of the mouse. In the end the turret was put on the second hull and the whole thing was moved to the kubinka tank museum in moscow(russia).
According to Wikipedia, two prototypes of the Maus were produced but only one with actual turret.
None saw any combat.
Jingles I don’t know what you’re talking about with the Maus, it very much was a fully functioning prototype, heck they built 2, one with a functional turret and gun and the other with a mock up turret for mobility trials, both had functioning engines and transmissions and were capable of moving under their own power, they were just scuttled by the Germans at the end of the war so the Soviets wouldn’t get their hands on them, the remains of both were salvaged into what sits in Kubinka today.
Nice assumption Jingles on the 6th sense skill although they didn’t discuss in the chat in Dutch - it was mainly on the location and cap circle positioning - keep the videos coming - they are lovely with the British humour
Jingles overanalysed the situation near end game. The VK's best option indeed was to go to enemy cap to lure the AMX and even if AMX had started capping when VK was near enemy cap, he would have made it in time, give or take a second
They built 2 Maus tanks, one was just a hull with a concrete mockup for the turret for testing the suspension system of the vehicle, the second had its real turret including the guns which is on display in a Russian tank museum. It consists of the first prototypes hull with the seconds turret. The Germans attempted to sabotage them before retreating from the approaching Soviets by blowing one up and pulling the turret off the other. The bombs did very little damage to the hull.
I suspect the 12t was upside down in some ditch.
Was thinking the same.
Fast tank so if he wasnt careful he would easily flip.
The Maus, aka moving bunker which no one can afford the oil cost and lack any reliability
Still more economic than the Ratte. ;-)
...and even if reliability was good and fuel was available, it can't go anywhere because there aren't any bridges in Europe that can support it. But it's still vulnerable to having a 500 pound bomb dropped on its roof by an attack plane :)
@@johnnyenglish583 Their idea was to just drive through the river. But yeah, not having air superiority makes the thing entirely pointless.
@@kaltaron1284 you're right, that was the plan, but I don't think this was feasible, either. The mud and silt on the bottom of many rivers might get the tank bogged down. Imagine being stuck at the bottom of a river, under water, in a 188 ton tank. That's a very impressive coffin :)
Much later, in the sixties, with more advanced technology available, the Soviets tried this during a huge military exercise involving thousands of tanks. It included a mass crossing of a river by driving through it. Dozens of tanks didn't make it, lost their way, drove in circles etc. in spite of the fact that a T-62 only weighed 37 tons.
@@johnnyenglish583 Never said it was a good plan. I'd even call it a bad one. But it was the only option for the Maus.
Which might be part of the reason why the project never progressed further than a few prototypes if even that.
Even the enemy AMX was Dutch, Edwin is a typical Dutch name, and he was just 15 years old........
BTW, the type 64 is my clan mate..... perfect conversation in chat!!!
On tanks that existed. When I was in training at Fort Benning Georgia, I got to see examples of the T29 series being restored before being later moved to the new museum down there. It caught me off guard because I didn't realize they had existed, let alone still existed and there I was going through WOT withdraw on a ruck march and there they were. I went fan boy real quick. Haha.
That AMX likely fell into a ditch or into one of the lower walkways on the canal. It happens more often than you'd expect.
When I was going up the line to the Maus I loved this tank and would heartily recommend it to anyone. The Mauschen however was hot garbage and a real pain to get through.
Huh, the notification actually worked, wonder of wonders.
Je had gelijk Jingels...You where right Jingels ,that was their train of taught
I loved reading the Dutch chat and translating it in my head to Afrikaans.
I haven't played WoT ever since the number of science-fiction tanks in top tiers exceeded the number of real tanks, but I have to say, the graphics department at WoT is even better than that at WoWS. The graphics is just amazing. That burning building at the enemy cap... the smoke is just so good. In fact, it's one thing that's missing in WoWS - smoke isn't voluminous enough. But here.. wow!
12T was probably desperately trying to log back into the game after getting kicked out when it crashed, as happened to me many times recently
Yayyy, a jingles video!
Just what i needed.
Maus did exist in at least 1 actual prototype. It blew itself up however because of a loading failure and the breech failed to close. There are photos of it if you look it up. One of the current "reproductions" of the maus , if you wanna call it that, actually is made out of the turret of said detonated tank. Either way technically the maus existed
You’re thinking of the E-100 with the hulls and mock turret, Jingles.. They built two Mauses and one of them fought on the Eastern front. To my knowledge the other kinda just sat in Berlin until the Russians showed up.
I'm an old M1A1 tanker in actual combat (Desert Storm)... Love you, Jingles and Claus. Quit playing WoTs when money and fake tanks took over.
Actually Jingles, there was a functioning completed Maus which underwent field trials but failed miserably and lost its first hull after it exploded.
Yeah, I gotta agree with Jingles on the 12t. He likely flipped himself or otherwise got stuck somewhere. The only other possibility is that the player had a really badly timed call of nature that he/she couldn't ignore.
My thought was also that he was flipped sidewise someplace. There's enough bumps and ditches to get bad air and land wrong in such a speedy light.
Bullitburst;
You are way better than the 'average/bad' you call yourself at this game. gj
They did finnish the Maus. They made 2 tanks. One with the mockup turret that you mentioned and another one 100% finnished and combat ready. The hull of the completed one was destroyed by the germans because they didn't want it to end up in enemy hands, but the turret was relatively intact. Soviet enginers put the real turret on the other prototype that had the dummy turret and conducted field trials with it to see how it would have performed if the germans got it in production. It is currently on display in a museum in russia. I don't remember where though.
Kubinka tank museum
Would be nice for WG to reveal enemy positions after battle is ended for a 3-4 seconds. Thanks for the video!
That’s not a bad idea. The game already freezes all tanks in place at the end of the battle, it’d be nice to just see where the bastards were hiding.
At least when I played WoT, I recall that the AMX 12t was easy to flip on its side. That tanks head was too big for it's body.
I haven’t watched Jingles in a couple years. Thanks algorithm for not showing me my subscriptions
It took me over 6 years to go down this tech tree but i quickly realized how awesome this tank is, i mean i was skeptical cause i could mostly deal with these tanks easily. Either way i was wrong..
On average i was scoring over 4k each battle just in dmg..
*Maus.*
Sorry Jingles, The Maus DID exist. *One and a half* of them to be precise.
1 fully build found by the USSR abandoned lonely road. In the facility along that road the other one was found without a turret.
the one that was finished and rolled out: It had a turret with a working gun and ammo. In my book: a fully functioning tank!
*Dutch.*
They were indeed discussing if the AMX was waiting at the base and hoping the AMX would not cap in the meantime he was moving.
I consider the AMX flipped on his side somewhere.
This is getting out of hand. NO notification of this video. I found it vicariously.

Jingles: [claims maus hasn't actually been built]
V2 Prototype fitted with an actual turret: Am I a joke to you?
*aKscHuALLY JinGLeS*
I love the VK100.01 P, it's like driving a Maus without dealing with the bullshit of tier 10 all the time, and if you happen to be top tier even if tier 6's fire gold at your weak points they are unlikely to be able to do anything
Perhaps the AMX run out of ammo? It is also possible he flipped his tank somewhere.... Its a fast and light tank and flipping would be quite easy
I believe they built 2 Maus one of which was used in battle where it ran out of gas, was abandoned and captured. It now is the one on display in a Tank Museum in Moscow I believe.
Today, Mighty Jingles forgets that Maus V2 was a fully functional tank, and only Maus V1 had a mockup turret.
That is despite that the functional turret is on display in Kublinka (With most of the insides gutted out after the Soviets blew it up for no reason).
I agree with you that is the most likly thing that happened because you could hear to the north booms of a gun going off
I’m willing to throw my hat into the ring in regards to if said tanks actually existed or not. To me, a tank theoretically exists if there were blueprints for it at the very least. That shows that it COULD have been made, since the IDEA for it existed and was put into plans to make it. I don’t count tank designs that may have just been written down on the back of a napkin during an engineer’s coffee break, but if there were actual blueprints, schematics and plans to make a tank, that’s something Wargaming can work around when implementing the tanks in question, as opposed to just making it up themselves. The VK 16.02 Leopard for instance was never even built, yet there were blueprints for it and that is what Wargaming used to implement the tank instead of just making the figures up themselves. The KV-4 and KV-5 were also just blueprints and never even entered the prototype stage, yet their blueprints existed and so how they appear in game was how they’d have appeared in real life. If World of Tanks has only WW2 tanks, then the Alecto shouldn’t be in there, since whilst a few Alecto tanks were completed and served briefly with the British Army in Germany, they only arrived in the immediate post-war period. Once more, to me a tank existed if it reached the stage where blueprints were drawn up to show HOW the tank would be built. It doesn’t have to have any prototypes built, the blueprints are the bare minimum since it is at least SOMETHING to go off of.
Exactly. to claim it didn't exist purely because it wasn't built is preposterous. sure things like the tornvagn which was literally just a concept drawing that wasn't even given a name are not counted as having existed. but if the plans were laid out and something could have been built it then that thing existed as a potential reality had other tanks not been chosen instead of them or technology have allowed for them to be made. they aren't historically accurate but they did exist.
@@horrificplumpkin6266 But the blueprint tanks allow Wargaming to make up their own stats and make them overpowered as hell.
@@emberfist8347 they make up stats for even real tanks lol
Jingles, thanks for making Thursday the best day of the week.
There has been a working proto of the Maus, and there is a complete Maus in a museum.
The AMX 12t must have flipped himself somewhere lol
Wait .. i thought the Maus V1 hull was fully functional with a dummy turret and the later tested V2 even had an actual turret with working 128 fitted in 1944...
Comfirmed. They discuss it and the type suggests he caps because the amx will expect him to camp his own base.
Thanks Jingles.
The 12t driver probably flipped himself onto his side,effectively AFK, most likely somewhere on the east side of the map
dont forget the maus that the russians captured right outside the testing ground :D. great vids Mr jingles, keep it up :D
The AMX 12t clearly either flipped, disconnected, or had to take a dump at the worst possible time.
Speaking about the existing and non-existing tanks in the game. I recently decided to go back in WoT to play a little bit and I remember tier 8 battles were my favorite ones. Now it a shitshow of a premium tanks and some strange tank designs, that never existed. The old tanks, like Tiger 2, are so painful to play! All those new loading mechanics.. It's this stupid "arms race" that kills half of the tanks. The premiums are just loading gold ammo, deleting your hp and they are not even trying to tank damage, maneuver or something. Most “funny” thing I encountered was me driving my getting in a base defense situation, where I was against Tornvagn and I was in a T-28 prot. All I was seeing is his damn turret and artillery was firing at me. That was fun! And about the gold - I was driving obj. 257 and encountered the E 100. His first shot didn’t penetrate, so he just loaded gold after that, and fired nothing than gold ammo.
Damnit Jingles, with that title I have to stop working and watch this video right now XD
I'd say the Maus existed as a tank. Did it have a fully furnished and equipped turret? Maybe more than you'd think. Gun was mounted, the vehicle was driving, and the coax gun was also mounted. Could it have fired? Most likely, but the Russians overran the whole place and the Germans tried to destroy everything left behind so who's to really say?
I mean multiple E100 hulls also existed and were basically ready for turrets to be mounted, so I'd even count that one as well.
Do gou get bonds for ace tanker battles??? I'm just curious because I don't have anything above tier 4 right now and nothing has the ability to earn bonds. Yet I've gotten 50, 2 sets of 25 from battles i was playing late at night against bots
I wonder if the AMX had fliped offscreen allowing the vk100 to cap
Your philosophical discussion of whether a specific tank does or does not exist is, I believe, a matter better suited to those who go to tank museums, and like to climb all over the machinery and watch them belch black smoke. And I admit that there is a certain admiration due for this almost religious dedication to "purity" (and I'm not referring to JIngles), but I am reminded of something that happened to me once. I was playing in a (live) poker tournament, and I was making sport of the format of Texas Hold 'Em Poker. A lady at the table took extraordinary umbrage at my remarks, saying that I was "disrespecting" the game, and demanded that I apologize. The only response that I could make (and it stopped the argument) was that "it's only a fucking game, and the only respect it is due, as a game, is zero". I feel the same way about WOT. I enjoy playing and have done so for years, but I am not outraged about the fact that if they don't make a profit for the owners, they will close shop. And since they're not a "Next Chapter" game, like Red Dead Whatever, they must indulge in a sort of rolling re-invention to continue to suck money out of us. Tech companies are easy to shut down, and the owners of WarGaming could as easily close the doors and go live in Malta with other Russian rich people and be perfectly happy. I would not.
One of my favorite tanks in the game.
I can also very easily imagine that it's the case here. Could just see him, -for my inner eye on his side somewhere, unable to get up. Probably not even helped by allies, who thought: "we don't need that noob, we can handle ourselves" Then the ironic reality strikes, the team fall one by one through the match many to the gun of this player, and there's only him left, flipped and can't get up.
But well played anyway
This thing with a turbo and all the field mods. Holy.Crap.
Actually Jingles, 2 fully functional Mauses existed.
Actually 2 Maus hulls were build and one with a turret. Both were wracked before the Soviets captured Kummersdorf and they capture the wracks and pasted them together. In Kubinka is the hull of prototype 2 and the turret of prototype 1.
It is the reverse. The hull is the B1 while the turret is V2
@@emberfist8347 You are right, my fault. :)
Jingle jangle, jingle those jingles.
Actually the VK 100.01P was a real thing, it was a lighter predecessor of the maus and was planned to use a 105mm instead of the 128mm. Nothing ever came of it as the maus was later designed and approved. I don’t remember exactly where I saw this but it was probably a video by the chieftain or tank encyclopedia or something like that
It was in blueprints only. No prototypes built, not even a wooden mockup.
@@kmoecub yeah I know, I should have worded it better
To be fair to Maus fans, one was sent to Berlin in the last days, to assist in the defence. As you'd expect from a German heavy tank, especially a not properly tested prototype, sent on a road march, it broke down before it got there and was scuttled by its own crew.
"scuttled"? Can you say that about a tank? Wasn't it "abandoned"? I've always thought "scuttling" meant opening the seacocks on your own ship - hardly an effective method for a tank on land :)
I recon he did the light tank thing and flipped so was sat on his side somewhere being flamed by his team
I bet that AMX pulled a Rick and went to the bathroom, thinking he wouldn't be found...
Ah yes, an over powered super heavy kicking puppies.
