Talk:Object 279/@comment-107.1.184.98-20150421184100

Maus had a 150 mm Kwk 40, the Object 279 had a 130 mm, also the Object 279 could travel across bridges and roads without destroying them because of the four tracks, evenly dispensing the weight of the tank. Now, I admit I like German engineering, but I have to say the Soviets had a genius to sloping and rounding their turrets and hulls, something many nations have tried and failed to do. So what do they do? They buy the tanks from good old Russia. The Maus is a slow lumbering skyscraper (metaohorically) that would only go 8.1 mile per hour, now that is...well sadly slow, COME ON KRUPP!!!! So here is a battle scenario, Ardennes forest, 1959. World War Two still rages thanks to the German resistance at the forest line. That has given the German high command time to build 100 Maus', enough to wipe out every U.S and British Armor divisions. The Soviets have designed the Object 279, a heavy tank capable of taking multiple direct hits from German artillery and manage to knock out their artillery and armor. Not only that, but now you have to consider, the war has gone on many years already, so you obviously know by now almost every nation at war has a nuclear arsenal. Maus cannot withstand nuclear attacks, even from miles away. The Object 279 could withstand nuclear attacks, not directly on the tank itself, but from a distance. So now the two meet in the woods, The Maus gets cocky and fires a round frm 2000 yards, it misses. The Object 279's range finder and auto-reloader help this along quickly. In 30 seconds, the Object 279 has 1 round off with one quickly following. The first shell from Object 279 hits Maus's angled turret, reflecting off. The maus now has a 150 mm round loaded and fires from 1405 yards, the shell hits but bounces, a splash hit. The Object 279 fires its second round, penetrating the side skirt and slaughtering the loader. Another shell from Maus hits Object 279, bounces off turret. Object ends the fight with a straight shot into the engine compartment. Object 279 wins.
