World of Tanks - Panzer VII Löwe tier 8 Premium Heavy Tank

Here's an idea, why not revisit older tank reviews and get them up to date in light of the changes to both World of Tanks and the tanks in it? I'll start with the Löwe! Oh wait...

[@TehAlekzi]

Jingles, these videos are pretty good sleeping medicine, for 2 nights in a row I've fell asleep while watching your videos.

[@Laflamme78]

Same here

[@raysteam1]

Seriously, though, this is better than rain and soft music.

[@Gamblr03]

TehAlekzi true esspecialy tank rewievs

[@balazsfazakas3368]

That would usually be an insult, but in this case I think it's more of a compliment

[@arimaonano]

It's the good kind of boring

[@mrexists5400]

T69 driver, one of the rarer breed of WoT players, seen here complementing his adversary that KILLED him for excellent gameplay

[@811brian]

+Recon WB You see more of this behavior here than in any fps I've ever played.

[@user-up5sl4gq2c]

BohemianEagle ,I have been watching your videos for the past few weeks and have been using your advice just by watching your videos.

[@trevpr1]

I think this is the best Jingles Vid I've seen. That Lowe battle at the end was more epic than my mastery badge game.

[@PapaSancho666]

I just wanted to take the time and say thank you for not only this video, but all your videos. As a "noob" to WoT , I fell victim to "get the Lowe" to start making credits, and while I was, boy I sure seem to get killed real easily and I wasnt making the amount of credits I thought I would with this tank, and after your review, I now know why. Misplaying the tank, not understanding its weakness and strengths. I am now putting into practice your tips on how to play this tank. . Thanks for taking the time to do these videos and making me a better tanker! Tally Ho!

[@MikeGoesBoom]

What's up with that smexy hangar?

[@TheOwlofAthens]

its a garage

[@j-cuts9396]

I made it for him you can find the link on his FB

[@douggosnell1465]

This is where a rare boss spawns after you defeat Mekgineer Themaplugg. Oh those gnomes

[@Thekilleroftanks]

Crusaders oftheRealm you never made it, its a mod that the devs made you can download.

[@Heymaker25]

Thank you for re-doing tank reviews!

[@211Romulus]

My Lowe was actually a gift from my friend who is a great player. I always feel self conscious driving it because I am only at 2K battles and I have alot of room for improvement. The last thing I want to do is cost my team a defeat because I dont know how to properly drive my tank. Thanks for the tips Jingles!

[@NotMyName10]

Thats the spirit

[@DiabolicalDerper]

AMX 50 120 review please

[@tyedoring2002]

Or AMX 50 100, his last review was horrible due to it was years ago

[@DiabolicalDerper]

Tye Doring Agreed

[@r390gt1lm]

its ST-1 not ST-i, google russian name of it, its CT-I, like Stug III or Pz II. Russian letter i is И (ИC-3, ИC-8 and so on) so ST-i would be CT-И

[@emanuelequilibris4561]

I guess most of us sort of knew that. But thanks for the info.

[@bwcmakro]

Eduard Boland Everyone seems to know that but still insist on stupid gay-ass ST-i instead of ST-1.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Killjoy I call it the ST-1 and I get constant shit because "It's the ST-i!" Guess what happens when I call it the ST-i? That's right, I stop giving a shit. :p

[@hatakekasai]

However, isn't the IS-3 and IS-8 actually the JS-3 and JS-8?

[@KyrumX]

***** no, because the IS line is called after Stalin. His real name was Iosif.

[@IMCDundee]

2 others you missed from the first time round PzS35 & Ram II,great vids as always ,keep up the good work

[@MysticLegend31]

Jingles! I really love this idea about revisiting old tanks that you have reviewed in the past. Even if the Lowe isn't one of them haha

[@DDCULTI]

Jingles! It was not an IS it was a..................... oh! Screw you Jingles :D

[@dazzate5731]

Did anyone else notice the last replay in the post game stats replay description the map : murowanka

[@kosmick-9305]

Trust internet people to notice that XD

[@battlefatigue7476]

Every time when me & my platoon mates see a Löwe on our team or the enemy team. We always writes in the chat. Löwe is in the air or Löwe hurts. Referring to the songs With John Paul young & Nazareth. :D I remember one time I wrote "Löwe is in the air" to a Löwe driver on my team, waiting for the countdown. His answer was. -Now I cant get that song out of my head. But of course. I respect the Löwe. Its a good tank. Thank you Jingels for another great review.

[@TheAzureWolfof15]

Thank you jingles for updating the lowe review.

[@soundslave]

Jingles: Lowe is expensive *spends hundreds of pounds on action figures* :D

[@NotMyName10]

Hehe

[@nertz4579]

:D

[@Nitrus5]

Jingles, maybe a KV-3 review? Or KV-4?

[@seraphus487]

I would love to see that.

[@Tools240]

Jingles, just in the knick of time! I was hoping you'd do a review of the Löwe, I am thinking of buying it.

[@jackofthecoke]

Blast from the past. I haven't played my Lowe much, but in the few games I've played it, I have witnessed its potential. It can be quite effective as it's easily one of the most underestimated tier 8 premiums. Thanks for the review!

[@SiriusMined]

I've not been particularly good at side scraping. I watched QB's video on it, tried it, keep taking full hits and dying.

[@Ragefor3Dayz]

At the 18 minute mark my hand shot up like a speeding bullet. Try playing this game on Xbox with the idea that your team will help you and you'll always be disappointed. Also the idea that this tank is a wallet warrior favorite has easily transitioned to Xbox as well. Most Lowe drivers haven't got clue number 1.

[@TheRoboteer]

I can agree with this. I was playing my Comet and was unfortunate enough to get Malinovka assault, I spawned on the hill, and immediately a friendly panther pushed me off, tracking me and getting me spotted. That was all the Panther did all game.

[@KazaalightStile]

you are amazing man how can you explain every tank in part about details! amazing!!! awsome!

[@MrGetsilly101]

I love the idea of him going back to review old tanks!!! Especially ones you skipped their reviews like the SU-122-54 or the entire french heavy line!!! Please and thank you

[@jageroo29]

10:37 Did anyone hear that?

[@jageroo29]

PLUS 16:51 666 :!:!:!:!

[@i_kemp_bush9523]

WTF

[@CaptainGrief66]

What was that...?

[@GrasshopperKelly]

TheOtakuComrade Bo the dog ;)

[@CarlosRios1]

UNFAIR PLANE HE KEMP BUSH

[@spudulike97]

I see you've perfected the Metro Golden Gnome intro, Jingles, well done

[@AramcoPhil]

I got the Loewe in January (I think), after 4,5k battles played, and love it. Thanks for this guide, i'm sure we can use it to our best.

[@sleepydork]

Also review the panzer iv again because that Derp gun though

[@Legiondude]

He should review all of the Panzer IV's

[@sleepydork]

Theres more? Xbox user we have the pz 4 post nerf patch

[@Legiondude]

andrew blankenship In PC version, we have a tier 3 Pz4A, tier 4 Pz4D, and Pz4H replacing the tier 5 you may be familiar with Check out wotdb.info for a tech tree based on the current PC release

[@TroopperFoFo]

andrew blankenship I play on xbox also but on Pc they have multiple version of the Panzer 4. www.wotdb.info/#country=germany use this website the wot wiki stopped updating.

[@sleepydork]

Ah ok wish I could get a pc but money is tight these days

[@SieraExtincion]

wow...its kinda weird listening to Jingles while the music from QB is playing in the background when he is reviewing a tank :|

[@Soridan]

That's default WoT music.

[@SieraExtincion]

Soridan really? i've turned the music off after like my third match i played a year ago. i only heard it in vids from QB.

[@Soridan]

SieraExtincion Would someone lie on the internet? Trust me.

[@nou8257]

***** Yes.

[@SieraExtincion]

skru2b hey i know you...you commented on a commend from me once...like on a vid...somewhere xD

[@iTzTrAx1]

wow that last replay.. that was so nice. perfect example of a good heavy tank driver

[@paulmckenzie3491]

dam i have missed your tank review it is how i found you and why i subscribe and great idea to revisit some of your older reviews too :)

[@RatIceCream]

I like that garage, lol but it looks like the bat cave or perhaps is.

[@madmikedisease7486]

Jingles is Batman

[@RatIceCream]

Mad Mike 96 XD lol

[@RatIceCream]

***** now we both did that XD

[@RatIceCream]

***** ok gotcha. I guess it's only me be noscroping

[@RatIceCream]

Nocroposting**

[@itzAL3XPC]

review the obj 263?

[@jasonthach44]

If he fucking has one.

[@jasonthach44]

Fucking tard

[@jasonthach44]

Egon Slosse You should fucking leave this channel. Been here since Jingles putting up 8.0 test server.

[@jasonthach44]

***** Yes Im an arty scumbags fucking tard even though I dont even played arty before.

[@braydeneckermann8229]

True

[@alexdrex12]

I have played world of tanks for a year or so, I have 3 teir tens but before I ever drive a tank I read and watch videos on it to find its weak points and strong points plus its always good to know how your tank performs before you take it into a battle.

[@arceras]

So, Lowe or T34 guys ? ( or is6?? )

[@Antiork]

in my opinion the is-6 is better for open, flat ground, the löwe is better for city maps and the t34 can be used in any circumstance, as long u can stay hulldown. But that shouldnt be a problem eiter on openfield or in a city map. T34 is the way to go, i think!

[@tomsmith6879]

Type 59 :P

[@BadByte]

If you have a T29 and like how it plays then T34 is good choice.

[@76Arfa]

IS-6

[@Wysch]

bad question. Never compare premium tanks based on their moneymaking potential. Because if so, then Jagdtiger 88 is definitely the best choice (makes the best money considering its cheap ammo and VIP matchmaking). Always choose premium tanks on what heavy line you grind / play the most. Because if you buy an IS-6 or T34 or Löwe and you won't use them train your heavy tank crew and use them only to make money, you're doing something wrong.

[@TheSkipjack95]

Sub 301 club !

[@gurkaniyan]

FINALLY JINGLES... The Lowe review, I have waited so long for this review to come up and I want to thank you for putting it up after all. The next tank, that you could possible review, would be the T-34-3, back in the day you also said that that tank review will come out soon, but, unfortuanly, that never happend.

[@aKMaLeoZ]

I remember in one of his video last year, regarding the T-34-3, he deemed it as "total shit" & will not do a full review on it. Personally, Type 59 is a better choice because of its better armor(turret+hull armorwise) and higher DPM (unless u're willing to wait 15 seconds to fire, without a gun rammer+vents), Thats if u're planning on training ur chinese MT crew but this is just my point of view. :)

[@gurkaniyan]

I wish that I could buy that Type59 but I do still like the T-34-3 tho, I own that one. The only bad things about that tank, is the extremely bad gun depression and weak side armor... If there was a way to get my money back for that tank and spend it, rather on something like the super-pershing, that would be great.

[@-championofrome-5303]

16:49 : The demonic hit from the enemy IS-3 with 666 damage, blowing that guy's turret sky-high.

[@mikeem3385]

Yup, that was me. My first premium tier 8 when i first got into WoT and was playing tier 4s. I'm now at over 700 games in it and its definitely still one of my favorites, especially since the buff.

[@SuperLoffe]

Great review! Löwe is one of my favorite tanks, I love it!

[@davethompson3326]

I am one of the noobs that bought the Lowe, but I really rather like it and I'm gradually getting better in it. I realised as I first began to advance hat games were quite different from the lower tiers and I wanted a tank I could get to learn the styles of higher tier games. I was sick of playing lights all the time, then some REALLY bloody awful Mediums & Heavies in T3-5. The first couple of games I was truly shit, but - if you pay attention, you learn from your mistakes. Buying this tank taught me to read the comments of others and to watch play videos. I first watched this about a week after purchase and now, some months later, it's nice to watch it again and sometimes think "Duh, of course" about some play suggestions. Cheers Jingles, hope I get to see you in game sometime,

[@Legion617]

Ah, the old Jingles tank reviews...cannot wait for those revisits :D

[@Jordan_C_Wilde175]

I got my Löwe today and I love it to bits.

[@pascalvotan7413]

Love your videos jingles. I put them on when I want to fall asleep quickly. Not that they aren't great but your voice tone is better then sleeping pills. Found this out by accident. I will drink a couple of cups of coffee to try to watch this one though. :)

[@DarkanonsChannel]

YES to updated review videos! +1

[@gabrielvaz5243]

Thank you Jingles, i was thinking to buy the T34 because i'm new at this game and i don't play a lot because i have to work, and as i can see, i'm not prepared to drive a Tier 8 Heavy Tank. Thank you.

[@rover5700]

Thanks for the upload. Just bought it lastnight. I like it!

[@RandomGuy164]

I have this week exams so this is a nice oppertunity to watch a shit load of the mighty jingels vids

[@davidwhittaker1478]

Lol great video the other team attacking was a complete failure, Jingles keep doing tank reviews! You give great useful information keep up the good work! :)

[@mikidymike359]

Something to help the panzerfuhrers that start driving the Lowe. Play it as a Sniper. If u can hide the lower hull u have aproximatelly 200 of effective armor on the upper glacis (tested the upper frontal armor against a T29 piloted by a friend and 7/10 shots bounced, rest penetrated probably due to a higher penetrating roll) and a little bit of angling can increase it even more. If u can go hull down and only expose the turret u can count on it bouncing shots or the mantlet eating the shots, although high penetration guns can penetrate the turret cheeks right next to the mantlet aswell ( tier X tank destroyers can penetrate the turrets spaced armor aswell as the armor behind it, u can occasionaly even bounce them) as the turret ring right under the mantlet (120 of armor wih some rounded sloping). Another good tactic is sidescraping, with 100mms of side armor u have a good chance agains tier VIII armament, turret is on the middle of the tank sort of soo reverse sidescraping is questionable. Lower glacis is the bane of this vehicle, most tier VI guns can penetrate with ease. Remember the repair skill first on the Lowe, an immobile heavy is an easy target. Good tank to play and very rewarding when played right hehe (:

[@phoenixfire9176]

the intro just gets better and better xD

[@sketchturner88]

I was actually wondering when Jingles would review this tank.

[@LazyFaux5656]

I was getting kinda sad, Jingles! Thought you forgot about us silly subscribers, gotta love my Jingles. c:

[@M4Inchan]

The Löwe is one of my favorite and best performing tier 8 premiums from what I own.

[@Magnum9339mc]

Agreed!

[@deanwood2332]

as usual very entertaining with some good humour Mr jingles

[@davidhood8598]

luv the garage/cave in this one

[@luketfer]

Going down the valley CAN work on Lakeville encounter but it requires a blitzkrieg type tactic to simply overwhelm the defenders on that side (or using something like a Maus as a linebreaker to absorb punishment while the rest of the team springs out from behind him, which I have done in my Maus) and then quickly surge into the town. However for the blitzkrieg to actually work you need friendly tanks that can tie up enemy tanks in the town long enough for their allies to sweep up behind them. So basically it requires teamwork, which you can never, ever rely on in random battles.

[@DerKopfsammler666]

I waited for this review for a long time, and i wasnt disapointed. :)

[@saulriverajr3485]

awesome videos gingles!

[@Lore-94]

I love the Lowe for sidescraping,like a boss!

[@hooverpride12]

(Hands up) I was at teir 5 when I bought my Lowe but I learned to play Lowe well enough than most teir 8-10 I meet all thanks to jingle ... CHEERS TO U JINGLES!!

[@Padsoldier]

Jingles, the people going for the valley (Lakeville) are keeping the flank of everyone else safe. If one of the teams does not send someone there and the other team has two tanks, they can get behind (and spot) the TDs around the lake, surround the city (given the rest of the team plays it out safe enough to stay alive till they arrive). They might not contribute directly to the outcome of the game with kills, but they keep everyone else safe and put pressure on the enemy: they also have to keep some tanks there, ones with good turret armor and gun depression, which would be really helpful in the city as well. You always judge very quickly (and harshly by my standards), while most of the time I can somewhat understand why, this time I don't.

[@Bounty_Hunter84]

Missed these reviews love your perspective on things jingles. I own the is6 T34 and lowe. Got the lowe when i didn't know what i was at. Now playing it to its strengths and trying to get the 41% wr up :-) its a great tank when you play it carefully. Last game was well played but enemy team couldn't shoot for shit.

[@nedjeljkodujic1699]

love your new intro :)

[@madmax131168]

nice job...i like your greats videos.. continue with this labour.... thanks

[@BBFazer]

I'm a wallet warrior, and after about 600 games bought the Lowe. After initially getting shot by literally everyone, things go better now. Played about 570 games in the löwe and I every day enjoy it more. Killrate goes up as is survivalrate. But, once in a while I'm to much in a hurry and get killed as a flie on the wall. But as you said. I enjoy it very much and have a lot of fun. Strangely to me, the most fun with the Matilda and Birchgun. Saw nearly all your uploads and had a lot of fun watching. This last Lowe update was fantastic.

[@procrastinator7408]

Revisiting already reviewed tanks is indeed a good idea. I would also like to see more reviews of lower tier tanks.

[@braith117]

I love my Löwe. It's great for training up my Tiger II's crew on the double crew exp weekends, plus it plays somewhat similar to the KT, albeit a bit slower and with a more trolltastic turret, plus the superheavy spall liner. Is a bit strange that it doesn't get premium matchmaking, but it's still good enough to make me not care as much that I got run over by an E-100.

[@candypaii]

Intro is Classic, that made my day :)

[@captaincanada1008]

bought it when I got to 6 bought t 25 and t14 when I got to 4 and the t28 concept when I was 3 or 4 because it was a rare tanks and it looked cool and its completely badass

[@BlackOps05]

Gotta love that custom garage

[@berser50]

I got my Lowe when I was at tier 6's (CC seven, Nashorn and M4 E8 & Jumbo) but I tried my best to learn the tank and after about 50 battles, my WR became decently adequate.

[@InuchiyoMaeda]

I love my Löwe very much, even though I suck in it according to my poor WR, and don't play it that often. It's on my list of played games still 2nd right after my M4.

[@MrGetsilly101]

Day 1 of requesting to bring this series back!

[@jamesoswald1732]

You can side scrape when someone else is. Just treat their tank as the wall and side scrape off that. It's a bit harder, but not impossible. Just make sure to give them enough space to back up.

[@mathewgomez8546]

JINGLES YOU ROCK!!!!

[@Greensiteofhell]

Great intro!

[@TheFreakWii]

Your garage door is awesome. :D

[@Yankiederp]

excellent as always

[@durzy3597]

The tier 8 premiums basically go like this, Lowe=sidescrape auto bounce, Is6= noob machine (no skill to play), T34= Great turret and gun(awful dispersion) have fun missing, and Fcm50t= GOTTA GO FAST

[@JohnnyH1982]

I have bought a few prem tanks, and have come to the conclusion that just getting premium is way better than the tanks. I have a T34, which I loathe and feel was a huge waste of $$. I have a KV5 which is loads of fun and I have a Super Pershing which, when played right and in a platoon is a great little tank for its tier. The Lowe, has never really impressed me but that may be due to the points you illustrated in this video. I am done with giving WG.net my money, but I still play the odd game here and there. I'm really glad I watched this video, so I don't underestimate the Lowe in future battles. Thanks Jingles!

[@braillediaz7625]

Great replay

[@Honorless83]

Love my Lion and always will, Favorite Premium Tank, took me about a Dozen Games to find out how to play it right but it's been worth every penny.

[@lordderpington8021]

That garage is amazing!

[@TrueCanad1an]

A conqueror review would be nice lord jingles

[@SoulessTwo]

Hey Jingles i'am stilling waiting for a jagdtiger tank review. :D Would really like to see that. Thank you.

[@squishy5071]

I'm missing the tip of how to use your gunmantlet in to good use in shielding off your cupola. If u elevate your gun the gun mantle is covering your cupola. If u are in a hulldown position or facehugging and u see your target aiming for the cupola, raise your gun. If u see them aiming for the turret ring (which is now exposed) lower the gun. The gun mantle will bounce shot after shot. Most tanks won't be able to put easy shots into you when facehugging due to the lack of depression however the Löwe can put easy shot on weakspots on the top of other tanks. For example the Turret roof of an IS-3. Facehugging works very well for me.

[@Krwekrw]

hey jingles nice garage! and nice rewiew also...

[@ssherriden1973]

What Mods are you running Jingles? Top review by the way!

[@teuflhunden]

The Lowe was supposed to have an armor thickness of 140 mm along with a 150mm Kwk 44 L/40, L/38 or L/37 this was supposed to be the redesigned version of the Lowe. Don't know much speculation there is of this but the Lowe had third design where it mounted a 21cm Mrs18 and had it's armor increased from 140mm to 200-300mm and a Maybach 1750hp gasoline engine.

[@chestersnapdragonmcphistic579]

You could take a look at the Easy Eight and ponder it's relevance now that similar tanks like the Cromwell are competing in the fast and maneuverable, high DPM mid-tier medium tank ring.

[@Ctuchik]

Jingles, if you genuinely don't want to block a sidescraper then please stay the hell away from his safe retreat path (even if his flank looks covered by another player). Trust me, no matter how fast you react, the guy sidescraping is going to be several seconds ahead of you taking tons of unnecessary damage you could have prevented simply by not being that close.

[@aidanpilcher7367]

Jingles, could you review the SU-122-44,I have just gotten one and the last review you did on it was over a year ago, and Id like to see your review on it, thanks!

[@evanmixon2827]

Jingles, will you please review the FV 215b. Its armor has changed drastically since you last reviewed it.

[@ghost122gun]

Thanks jingles going to drive my tank a bit smarter and lowe I might get but spend time on getting to teri 8

[@vaultboy2270]

i would really love to see the kv-4 get reviewed next..

[@brandongaddis5042]

Look at the garage door with jingles on it

[@Paciat]

The brake force (value in Newtons) is high because its a heavy tank. But this does not mean it will stop fast. You need break force/weight to judge that (value in Newtons/ton).

[@badbeezy02]

Jingles what mods do u use because when ever u get shot it says what shell type it was and thats cool?
