I have always considered both of the heavies to be too much. I favor the smaller, faster, with a hard hitting gun. The Maus and III always seem to be better suited for defensive purposes that would not require a lot of manuevering. What bother me is that against other tanks, they may do fine, but the opposition would be more likely to counter with artillery and aircraft.

I suspose where you had air superiority and used a mixed of superheavies for punch and medium heavies as manuever units, they could work out. The problem is that if during a push, the tide turns, the superheavies become sacrificial targets during the retreat.
