I review the Löwe, a tier 8 German premium heavy tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of three tier 10 battles in Murovanka, Steppes, and Serene Coast.

The Löwe was underpowered prior to 9.17 but it received buffs to its gun depression, hull armor, and turret armor in 9.17. It is now a capable hull-down fighter thanks to the combination of frontal turret protection, superb max gun depression, and good gun handling. That said, the player needs to carefully manage the Lowe's exposure, as the tank is slow and has a very soft lower front glacis.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb max gun depression (-10)
+ Superb accuracy (0.33 base)
+ Superb silver AP penetration (234)
+ Excellent frontal turret protection, and the cupola is small
+ Excellent view range (400)
+ Good gun handling
+ Side hull armor is thick enough (100m) for sidescraping
+ High AP shell velocity (1150)
- Very low DPM (1600 base)
- Lower front glacis is very soft (~140mm effective armor)
- Very sluggish acceleration
- Very slow hull traverse, turns like a whale
- Low top speed (35)
- Large profile

Recommended Equipment
1. Rammer
2. VStab
3. Vents

This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
