The Mäuschen (Little Mouse) is a Tier IX German Heavy Tank.
Introduced in update 8.8. It used to be overpowered, with a 15cm gun as a gun option. It practically unbeatable against tier VIIs, tough at tier VIII, and it was underpowered when it meet tier X opponents. At some point it was removed, rebalanced, and then reintroduced in patch 9.17.1. It had buffed HP pool, mobility, and gun stats. However, it no longer has the 15cm gun as its gun option, and it has weaker side and rear armor than before. The tank is huge like the Maus, probably the largest for its tier. It has some fearsome armor almost equal to the Maus but with an enormous price. It is the slowest of all Tier IX tanks; so slow that any Light Tank could take on you alone and turn you from a full-health monster into a piece of scrap metal with extreme ease. Your turret can’t track them so it is highly recommended you travel with one of two faster allies. It can also sidescrape very effectively due to the 155 mm of strong side armor with thin side skirts. Its turret 240 mm thick is well curved at the big gun matlet and deflect even powerful shots. It is also very heavy, indeed perhaps the second heaviest tank in the game, at max 171 tons and you can ram other tanks into oblivion if you can ever hit your top speed. It has a relatively small cupola that can be penetrated. There’s also one thing you should always keep note - never travel alone. You are incredibly slow and large, making a juicy target for artillery and flanking lights will have no problem sending you back to the garage because your traverse speed and height will make you have extreme difficulty finding where they are. Travel with a couple of faster mediums, lights, or heavies and make sure they are guarding you to make sure you don’t get destroyed.
