T95 DOOM TURTLE vs MAUS | Battle of the Super-Heavies | Armour Penetration Simulation
Also known as the T28, the T95 and Maus were the heaviest tanks to be tested during WWII, with neither actually entering service. The simulation presents the 105mm T13E2 Armour-Piercing Capped Ballistic-Capped (APCBC) projectile impacting the turret cheek of the Maus from ~250m.
The turret cheek of the Maus has been modelled as 232mm thick, in line with Warthunder. However, the only existing Maus was assessed to have a 220mm thick turret front, but there are various sources out there which state that the planned thickness was supposed to be higher -some even stating 240mm. It has been modelled as 220BHN good quality RHA.
The T95 was chosen as its 105mm gun has one of the highest penetrating full-calibre Allied projectiles tested during WWII (the 32pdr of the Tortoise is similar, while the BL-10 of the ISU-152-2 exceeds them both). As the vast majority of Allied cannons dont have this much power, it goes to show how effective the frontal armour of the Maus would have been for its time. The T13E2 projectile has been modelled with progressive hardening, in-line with similar US projectiles of the era. In reality it is unlikely that the fuse would break under this impact; the diagram for the projectile does not detail the geometry of the fuse and it was not secured well enough in the simulation.
