Tip #3789

The Object 279 is difficult to counter, but has three notable weakspots: turret ring (can be reliably penetrated even by the 25mm detonating the ready rack!), driver's hatch or, if you have HEAT/APDSFS shells, most of the turret can be penetrated with ease.

Tip #3790

The Maus has some weak spots, as shown in the picture. First, the lower section of the side skirts, marked in red, can be penetrated by high powered AP rounds, though generally only from directly side on. The turret cheeks can be penetrated by more powerful HEAT, APCR and APDS rounds, as well as some particularly powerful full caliber AP rounds. Third, a 155mm HE round to the commander's periscope, marked in yellow, will overpressure the crew compartment for a one shot kill.

Tip #3794

The HE rounds are capable of overpressuring some comparable MBTs. Notably, the Leopard 2A4 can be taken out with a shot to the turret face.

Tip #3792

With recent updates, the NVD equipment can be removed from the Panther II, which also removes it from the visual model. Without it, the Panther II looks nearly identical to the weaker Panther F. You could use this deception to your advantage.

Tip #3669

The missiles that the ADATS carries are beam riding, as opposed to the SACLOS guidance common among other missile based SPAA of a similar battle rating. This has a unique advantage in that your missiles will not set off an enemy aircraft's RWR. That, combined with the IRST-only target tracking on the ADATS, means that the entire engagement process can be carried out without alerting the enemy aircraft.

Tip #3668

The ADATS does not have a tracking radar. It only uses IRST for target tracking. While this does have the benefit of not alerting enemy planes, it also means that you can not lock on to targets in third person view. Additionally, target tracking can be rather spotty at ranges beyond about 5 km, especially against smaller targets like drones and helicopters.

Tip #3667

The search radar is very limited in what it can detect. While the maximum range is 25 km, it often struggles to detect small targets like drones and helicopters beyond ranges of about 5 km. You will need to remain observant for more distant targets through both visual and audio clues.
