I WOULD like to see a Maus in 1/6 scale. I don't think that I'd even mind
if it killed my BT-7 in two shots. I don't even think that I'd mind if it
took 10 shots for me to kill it. But a 3 foot Maus is another story. I
think this scale "thing" will need to be tightened up in the future. I
understand the reason for having the "either or" option. But as more tanks
are built, it would seem fair to stick to 1/6 scale as a rule. I would
agree that a BT-7 with a 45mm gun and 1/2" of armor would stand little
chance with a Maus with a 128mm gun AND a 75mm gun AND 8'' of armor. But to
go after a monster such as this that has all of the benefits of the original
vehicle and none of the disadvantages (size, speed) ...... well, I hope you
get my point. If someone built a tank the size of a BT-7 (3 feet at 1/6
scale) with 8" of armor, the crew and drive train would have to be on the
outside with the crew and drive train pushing to no avail. I would like to
see the "prototype" thing relaxed just a bit as well. The Polish 10TP would
be a fun tank, as would several others.
Clark, as Frank P. would say, "build it, I'll shoot at it".
