War Thunder 1.91 update will remove the much-loved Maus from the game,making it impossible to unlock for the players who aren't researching it/researched it before the actual update.

The Maus has always been one of the reasons many new players started playing War Thunder: It's OP,it's good looking, and it's just one of the greatest tanks ever made.

Gaijin wants to change that,with the excuse of "removing prototypes from the game" which makes it so that only german tanks get removed (for now), and thus fueling the already hated giant russian bias that there is in the game.

Some users have spoken up,starting the hashtag #Savethemaus/#Savemaus on Steam,but haven't yet been heard by the blind people/moderators who work at Gaijin,with this petition we shall change that and finally get the attention of those developers that haven't been listening to us since they started tweaking the German Tech Tree back when WT was just released.

Gaijin states:

"Today we want to talk to you about upcoming changes to the German Ground Forces tree with update 1.91. We have previously mentioned our plans to hide vehicles that were never fully materialized in real life as a complete vehicle, prototype or test vehicle. 3 such vehicles are the Panther II, Flakpanzer 341 and Tiger II (10.5 cm Kw.K), all of which have historical elements, but were never fully built."

That also includes the much loved by the developers "IS-6",which is buyable in a bundle as a DLC. (Since the IS-6 was too a prototype that never saw a battle,like the Maus V1 itself,and we are talking about FULLY FUNCTIONAL TANKS)

That being said,TL;DR: Gaijin nerfs even more the already weak German Tech tree but doesn't care about it's own soviet bias by removing one of the most loved tanks from the game,we can change that.
