I'm thinking that if they ever went into production, we'd just have to make some bigger guns to take them out. The Perishing would have been there to help, though the Maus would be one hell of an opponent. And if none of our tanks could have taken it out, there's always the Air Force to lend a helping hand.

The M3 90mm on the Pershing was able to penetrate at 500m 221mm of armor at a 30 degree angle. The E-Series' Hull armor was 200mm at 60 degrees, and the turret was 240mm at 60 degrees. Unless you were able to get ridiculously close, you wouldn't be able to hurt it.

EDIT: That's with the M3 90mm using the best ammo they made, HVAP.

Side armour was 180mm and the rear armour was 160 armour. As for most german tanks, the Allies tried to get a shot at the rear or the sides. Frontal armour is nearly always thicker.

Plus the british centurion tanks and their 20 pounder guns could probally take on a Maus.

If you got lucky and hit the armor at 0 degrees, then yes.
