Hey, someone had to ask.

Tell me your opinion and why!

Both. You really can't go wrong with either tank. I'll just tell you what their strengths are from experience instead.

E-100:
-Moves a bit faster than the Maus, the small difference in speed makes a big difference to me

-Bigger gun means bigger holes and less un-angle time for shooting

-Tank works even with a full HE loadout because of big caliber gun. I suggest you try running at least 10 HE shells (I use 15, 15, 20 loadout)

-Humongous tracks makes your side really tough against HE and HEAT shells, the top part of side armor is usually only pennable by tier 10 tank destroyers

-Can ram pretty much any other tank except for tier 10 German superheavies (and the Jagdpanzer E-100)

 

Maus:
-Thicker armor overall, nearly impervious to even gold shells when angled right (except for tier 10 TDs and IS-4s, those go through your armor with ease)

-Highest HP pool in the game at 3,000

-Can ram pretty much all other tanks except for other Maus tanks

-King of sidescraping along with IS-4

-Significantly smaller turret cheeks compared to the E-100: Makes it easier to angle and bounce shots

-Takes a lot longer to kill overall than the E-100 when played well

-Easier to angle than E-100

 

Overall, choose E-100 if you want a big gun, Maus for the armor. Both play significantly different imo. Maus is a lot more durable than E-100 due to thicker armor overall with the E-100's cheeks being a lot bigger than the Maus' and the turret is flatter overall. Which tank is easier for you to drive depends a lot on how you play and you really can't go wrong with either heavy tank which is why I suggest you get both. Keep in mind that the E-100's turret is significantly harder to angle than the Maus' due to it being flatter and the cheeks being bigger. Don't worry too much on the E-100's weakspots; those are to small to really care about and you only worry about your lower plate and turret cheeks (turret ring when facehugging too).

Both are good for pub but maus is more useful in tourney
