The Löwe also has -10 degrees of gun depression over the entire front and sides (-5 degrees over the engine deck), this allows it to play on hills where it can significantly increase the slope of its upper plate or even hide the entire hull from view, while still being able to return fire. However, this is offset by its incredible gun handling (0.29 with BIA, vents and food), the shell velocity (1,150/1438 AP/APCR) and penetration (234/294 AP/APCR) which allows it to hit and penetrate its shots much more frequently than your standard heavy, racking up lower but consistent damage over time. The tank has very low damage per minute due to its long reload for its alpha damage. One of the oldest and most well-known premium tanks in World of Tanks, the Löwe is able to excel at most ranges. Engine can and will be damaged frequently by shots through the lower front plate.Huge target, easily spotted and difficult to hide.Low alpha damage, poor DPM, and slow aim time.Great gun depression and elevation (-10 and +38 degrees). Strong turret face and upper glacis armour.Great accuracy, shell velocity, and penetration.As a premium tank, it produces a significantly higher credit income than a typical tier 8 tank. While it lacks in speed and damage per minute the Löwe has pinpoint accuracy and colossal penetration which allow it to put its meagre damage per minute to use at any range, unlike your typical Soviet or Chinese heavy. In reality, while it has strong sides and the turret is well armoured and able to deflect shells from even tier 10 guns, this tank is much more similar to the Tiger II than to its superheavy brethren. Looks can be deceiving, on paper Löwe is a 90ton super heavy able to dominate a flank. However, the project was canceled after the Führer made the decision to develop even heavier tanks. Several designs varying in configuration, armament, and armor, were drafted. In February 1942, the Krupp company suggested the VK 70.01 avant project, later designated the Löwe ("Lion"). The Löwe is a German tier 8 premium heavy tank.ĭevelopment of this 70-ton super-heavy tank started on November 1, 1941.
