An ageless classic of heavy German tanks, one of the first premiums in the game, but is it relevant now against the background of the introduction of new equipment and will it be able to farm?
Hello tankers! The second lot of the New Year's Holiday calendar is represented by a German heavy tank of level 8 Lion in World of Tanks. According to the tradition that has already developed over the years, we offer our short review of technology and reasoning on the topic of whether it is worth buying from discount 15%.
The last time the performance characteristics were touched to him back in 2016, then they pulled up a little armor, UVN and mobility. Now the situation with the characteristics is as follows:
Lion can boast excellent accuracy and high armor penetration basic projectile, which is at least the key to successful farming. One-time damage is average, but very depressing long reload и mediocre mixing time. Both types of shells have a high flight speed, which allows you to shoot more accurately in advance.
There is type armor, but mainly for levels 6 and 7, it is already more difficult from 8, and tanking 9 is almost impossible. That is why the developers position "Leva" as heavy support tank. If possible, the corps should be hidden behind more armored allies or fortifications. The tower is protected more reliably, which in some situations allows the game to be played from very comfortable elevation angles.
Mobility - "Achilles' heel" this heavy, which in the era of turbans and "wheelers" can become a serious obstacle in battle if they highlight it on a roll or at the entrance to key positions where there is a high risk of getting hit by artillery or tank destroyers. But his review is excellent, not even all the “tens” have 400 meters at their disposal.
Results
Lion farms silver well thanks to an accurate and penetrating tool. He does it slowly but surely. “Leva” is a tank about thoughtful and positional play, besides, due to the view, it receives a bonus to farm, as it deals damage in its light. According to its gameplay, the technique is not suitable for players who like to rush and rush the direction - for this, this heavy does not have enough speed and armor (which is also devoid of vulnerable areas).
Write in the comments what you think about the tank, who already has it in the Garage, and who is just going to buy it.
