User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Panzer VII Maus vs Object 279/@comment-1017446-20120101202208

If the Panzer VII Maus actually entered service it could've altered the course of World War II. The same could be said about the Object 279 during the Cold War if the US and Soviet Union actually entered into armed engagements. Anyways, I give my edge to Object 279. It may not have the thicker armor, even though it could supposedly withstand a nuclear blast, but it has the more powerful gun. It fires a larger round and it is rifled. It could also fire APDS rounds which will be devastating against the Maus' armor. If it were finished, 279 could possibly fire guided missiles also.
