I started like 10 years ago with wot and my first goal as a german was to get the tiger :D then after 2-3 games in tier 1 i saw the premium tank löwe and i tought wait a moment ... lion>tiger and i run to the gas station to get a paysafedcard in no time xD Then i was one of the typical löwe player with under 100 games and no idea in tier 10 games xD

[@kelvisshandei]

xD lol

[@MarvinWestmaas]

I used to 'grind money' by altering battles between Lowe and Type59. My Type had at one point > 60%wr, I never gotten Lowe above 50%. And it's not that I don't like it, I do. I think the gun is good and the armor is really good ( unless people press 2 key ). But I can't get it to work. I try to play offensive it doesn't work if I play defensive which I think Lowe is really good at ( holding a corner for instance ) my team blames me for not pushing. It's not just the 'typical noob player' but also a tank which due to lack of speed isn't flexible and thus less forgiving for misplays especially position wise.

[@DiSHTiX]

my story is similar, and i got so upset that i was getting hammered from all sides in t10 matches by unspotted sniper snitzels. I was convinced... stronk big lowe is da boss haha.. being noob was so fun and ppl got mad.. others tried to help.. eventually you learn. i still have this tank and still enjoy it

[@MarvinWestmaas]

A decade or so ago I had all these spam messages pre programmed, you know: clan XYZ looking for new active players talk to me after the battle if interested .. One of my other auto hotkeys was: Guys my mom just bought me this new tank I'm supper happy but could you perhaps tell me how to get into that sniper mode I seen on KZbin? Salt guaranteed... and back in those days team damage was still a thing. The amount of people getting banned for shooting at my poor Lowe, even before we got a chance to really play was not to be scoffed at.

[@chrisvig123]

It was probably affordable back then

[@kunstderfugue]

Good player in Lowe is rare. Whenever I face Lowe in enemy team it's always that guy who is very kind as to walk out in the open and let my team spank him like there is no tomorrow

[@gofast8878]

It should be called "Defender" With lòwe you take a defensive position, and you make the take it from you.

[@Gil-galad12]

Lowe is like giant dwarf. Also as dwarf it is natural sprinter and not made for crosscountry runs. Very dangerous over short distances. :)

[@gofast8878]

I love the lòwe. I use bond gun rammer, bond stabi and bounty turbo. For me its the perfect all round premium i dont get tired of. Looks like it can work good in all maps

[@MinazukiShiun]

I think, using turbo and gas gives the Lowe that little tactical agility that makes it so much comfortable in the current meta.

[@davidvarga1584]

My first tier 8 premium tank. I loved this tank. I hope wg is buffing Löwe, when the alpha dmg 360 it was perfection

[@adamap1045]

Watching this made me jump back into my Lowe to try and get 2nd MoE which I finally got today!! I've been between 80% and 83% a lot and often gave up bc it kept frustrating me. Thanks for the gameplay and making me want to jump back into the Lowe!

[@oldguyplayin5828]

nice job on that Std B in first game. This is a very consistent tank. and I enjoy it. love you man!

[@DeathSusanoo]

Little advice for everyone that wants to mark Löwe. Drop vertical stabilizer and put on optics. Combined with a good crew you can get up to 500~ meters of view range which lets you farm spotting damage as you play.

[@oscarovegren]

465m without any view range equipment is more then enough. Stabilization is however poor

[@Inversible100]

The Löwe (Lowe) was my first Premium which I bought back in 2011. Yes he is decent, but I think he needs a buff for the alpha damage. 320 damage for a T8 HT is not enough in 2023. Increase the DPM with a lower reload time.

[@2K-Tan]

I agree 100%. It's a bit insane my IS-3 reloads only 1 second slower but does way more alpha damage even though the IS-3 gun is way less accurate it still makes no sense to me. I still like my Lowe but I do agree that it needs a DPM buff since the alpha is so low, enemy tanks with a lot of HP left aren't scared of you since they know your alpha and DPM are bad so they just rush you and kill you.

[@ChordRunner]

I know why you chose PaPaPawian to give his opinion and setup on the Index. Because 'Pawian' is the Polish word for 'Baboon' :D

[@stoic521]

It's Pavian in german, too.

[@cieniobuchxd2443]

i love lowe, but that reload... god damn it screams for a buff imo.

[@amongusztav655]

10 seconds is not long at all for a gun with such amazing accuracy and penetration

[@sigmamalegrindset132]

@@amongusztav655 it only has accuracy, gun handling sucks and aimtime sucks

[@2K-Tan]

@@amongusztav655 Nah the DPM is downright abysmal compared to almost every other T8 Heavy tank, and there are plenty of T8 tanks nowadays that have guns that are just as much of a laser if not more. There should be absolutely no reason why my IS-3 reloads only 1 second slower yet does considerably more alpha damage per shot. Accuracy only goes so far when you are limited on how much damage you can put out in a given time. Plus the gentleman above me is also right, the aim time and gun handling sucks, it only has accuracy. The reload needs a buff because of all the OP T8 tanks nowadays. Imagine fighting a BZ in a Lowe, you have basically no chance unless the BZ player is a 5 year old.

[@zyrabell69]

That T95 looks to have the 5th level of the Reaper, so he's put in a lot of time playing his tank. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1395">23:15</a> That's 1K kills after the decal was added to the game, not to mention all the players he destroyed prior to and after that, so it could literally be several thousand. Reaper level 1: need to have destroyed 30 enemy vehicles to get this decal. Reaper level 2: need to destroy 70 more, therefore need total of 100 vehicles destroyed. Reaper level 3: need to destroy 150 more, therefore need total of 250 vehicles destroyed. Reaper level 4: need to destroy 250 more, therefore need total of 500 vehicles destroyed. Reaper level 5: need to destroy 500 more, therefore need total of 1000 vehicles destroyed.

[@OneWorldHistory]

My first premium. Still love it when top tier, and enjoy the snipe when bottom tier. Good vehicle.

[@86mystek]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="810">13:30</a> fun fact: if Skill would left this position peregrine would be dead very quick and enemies could flank south side which means middle would be lost. Lost middle means (on this scenario) lost battle.

[@peasant8246]

I love your voice Skill, it's so relaxing. Sometimes I even do other things while the video is playing in background and just listen to you talking. You should made podcasts about, anything really, I think people would listen to them anyway.

[@formbi]

the typical Löwe says «unfair plane, he kemp bush»

[@edism3]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="605">10:05</a> what the flying f is that in the air LOL

[@blathy2]

I love my Lowe. Hull down and avoid your hatch from getting hit.. its a monster brawler

[@martinlaver007]

I like the Löwe but the Alpha seems really low nowadays for a HT.

[@2K-Tan]

Yeah exactly and the reload isn't near good enough to make up for it. I still like my Lowe but it's a bit ridiculous that my IS-3 only takes 1 more second to reload yet does way more alpha damage. Sure the IS-3 gun is way less accurate but still. I think it'd be perfect if they'd buff the reload even slightly, I think 7 - 8 secs would be fair considering it's low alpha damage.

[@t3cker254]

Lowe just needs a slight buff, either better rof or more alpha. It has no chance against all the new high alpha faster shootin prems. It's just disgusting gettin driveby killed. Both, dpm and alpha would be awesome, but it will make it a 2nd e75ts with better accuary

[@mightymachine5372]

Love my Lowe. faced hugged a t110E5 and somehow came out on top. Random battle are good, but it thrives in Frontline.

[@sfamious3899]

The intro of the video feels like a promo video from wargaming side to buy the tank or sponsored baboon :O

[@kartoffel4870]

If you didn’t know, Löwe has a reputation due to a player called “schrader” who used it in a platoon alongside xvm to troll the best wn8 players in his team while also speaking very rude and broken English.

[@dlnhank]

Ah yes, the infamous Schrader - "Unfair plane, he kemps bush!" Learned about him from some videos The mighty Jingles posted.

[@Moerderhoschi]

i love the way you are, such a great CC.

[@KRAMPUS_G60_16V]

Very good German tank (one of fhew) but the DPM kills me... ☹️ Also compared to Rashan heavy tanks- Lowe is a snail.

[@christiaancarstens4091]

Rule of thumb, that is why the bowling ball grip is so powerful.

[@difgy4712]

Lowe is good tank, however it has E75-TS as similar alternative which is better at almost everything.

[@WissenstattGlauben]

Great tank, makes alot fun. No problem vs t10. Maybe little bit too slow but the gun is great.

[@cedd8812]

The evils laughts in the last game, after killing Vipera… Who is the old premium here ?!!! So funny

[@riggerkg]

Great you already got all the people playing meds hiding in bushes sniping now heavies will be doing

[@kevinmckay5052]

you have a lot of patience you would be a great fly fisher chasing Atlantic salmon the fish of a thousand casts

[@Haris-V]

I see you trying to achive the White Death , the godly sniper

[@adaxgreat5721]

Sometimes sht happens dude. Yesterday i played with my defender. Hull down situation. Im shooting 50tp pr and is 3. My shots are miss and i had time for full aim.. The 2 other guys move front back front back and the same time this 2 guys together hit my def cupola when they move. This thing easy can make my keyboard gettin a penetraion hit with my fist :D

[@asocialsocialist2534]

I think stabiliser is much better than aiming device fro this tank

[@kenjis0308]

Old Fart but still an excellent credit maker and we always love ya skill !!

[@jonwebb7042]

i hate this tank personally, but i like playing agressive so i guess its juts not my style. its too slow, the gun takes 10 years to aim, no alpha damage (u cant track heavies with hardening) and the frontal hull is cheese

[@tyo5616]

lowe my eternal love...

[@mikealpha2611]

This is the oldest tank in my garage and I have always come back.

[@AG-jj3lx]

Fellas: Good day to you 2 Skill!

[@teris4282]

Whichever tank you get, you make it super. Because you knew how to play the game professionally. So we won't say that this abomination, like most tanks you buy for 40 euros, is done to us.

[@TheDragonHunta]

Oooh maybe I'll bust out my Lowe! *runs game in lowe. RNG says no. Repeatedly. Says. No. Maybe I'll just put it back in the closet*

[@02PANI02]

Lowe, more like Slowe

[@Kohagaan]

Slowe of our life 😁

[@MEOW7515]

Lowe got low ammo cost and repair that also the reason why its the best credit printer

[@andreboshoff83]

Nice video, thanks! Which skin is used on this Löwe?

[@ankleloser]

Love your content, my man!

[@favorius]

I get this tank from rental. It is horrible experience. I have same dpg as in my vk3001h. It is tier 5.

[@deividasslaiciunas4895]

skill, can you make video abou SU-130PM?

[@eliyaitou4292]

no regrets trading this in for the ELC

[@kevynbrownell719]

Lowe is the tank I use when I need more credits.

[@filipprasezlesa1474]

In second battle You are talking about IS-3A but I am checking the tank list like 5 minutes and I see absolutely no IS-3A...

[@sigmamalegrindset132]

they really should buff the alpha to 360

[@reszetelek684]

Löwe is not working for me. IDK why. Sometimes I have one or two good game but i can't sidescrape with it, every shell got me engine or ammo crit. And dispersion is worst than on the paper. Sometimes I'm totally disgusted how bad. I regulalry lost the duels, and with this dpm, speed and hull better not to do close fight. I'm above average with performance but Löwe gave me only frustration and anger.

[@FoxX459]

how did you get that camo for the Löwe?

[@CihanAkkaya]

F for all the tomato Löwe players with 112k battles and 45% win rate.

[@danielsalesch1574]

I have never seen a bad Lowe player.Most of them snipe when low tier,and push when top tier.

Have it been nerfed? I played it today and everything pen it in turret

My löwe didn t hit s... I sold it. But when u can play Hulldown ,its a crazy tank.

that's because you should play T34 😈

Hey skill, when you will mark Lowe? :)

[@icestrolo]

I dont get it..my Löwe gun behaves shit almost 7/10 shots - i cant say it laser gun -> quiet the opposite for some reason xD

[@snoopstp4189]

AFK T-30? LOT"S of high tier multiboxers on lately using heavies for pincushion mules, I saw one in a game yesterday and QB just logged and reported another one that threw 20 or 30 games in a row. Suspect he was botting for the Waffle or the Scorpion that was never spotted.

[@joe125ful]

Lowe is good HT but many years back,now its slow,terrible dpm,strong turret,no recomending buy now. In other hand E75 TS is like a lot better version of Lowe,a lot better mobility,dpm,still great gold pen,view range,raming power!

[@brutalusgaming8809]

The only thing holding this tanks WR up is the Ancient super high skill crews from the other German tanks. That tank is just not great at anything. If it goes Hull down the tanks across from it have better guns and WAY WAY better hull down armor. If it goes sniper the other sniper tanks on your side out shoot it and take all the dmg. Plus everyone, even new players know every weakness of it and what to do vs it. Even a player as amazing as skill who plays for 10 hours a day cannot make this tank perform up to what he is capable of in his other tanks.

[@DvdV1337]

This thing is 40 euros in the store. I wouldnt even pay 10.

[@sigmamalegrindset132]

its a good tank man, its worth it purely because it has the highest credit making percentage. Even bad games make more credits than good games with other prems

[@JeremySVK]

my first tank on which i got 3rd moe

[@casuscnactus4864]

I still think Löwe is not very good. Worst thing ofc being the matchmaking, but the Löwe just lacks firepower imo. Low alpha plus low dpm is no bueno.

> I only play arty That's a skill issue, not a tank issue

@@2K-Tan it was a city fight , none in my team spotted them so did not know what was there simply, I spotted 3 higher tiers then a tier 8 Löwe I pressed my repei buton too quickly and lost the repair kit, and the rest is mathematics. I was low tier in that match and the high tiers did not do what they supposed to do cause they can take a hit.
