One of the oldest premium tanks in the game. It is also worth noting that this is the most expensive vehicle in the game, but the most profitable. The German has both advantages and disadvantages, however, like all tanks. However, its function as a heavy tank performs perfectly well.

Equipment
The German heavy tank stands out for its accurate gun with good stabilization. The review of the German is a record for his level. The lack of a tank is only in dynamics. Based on the pros and cons, the following equipment should be installed:
- Rammer. This equipment is necessary as the German's reload time is too long for its damage.
- Improved ventilation. The equipment will improve all indicators by 5%.
- Illuminated optics. Lowe has a standard viewing radius of 400 m. With a pumped crew and installed “coated optics” equipment, the tank will shine for more than 450 meters. This is one of the best indicators at the 8th level.
Как Alternative option, can replace coated optics on vertical stabilizer. This will improve the combat effectiveness of the tank on the move.
How to play Lowe
Lowe has often been modified in one direction or another in the past. The reason was the lack of balance of the tank in the game. The latest update has significantly improved the performance of the German in several ways.
In the tactical and technical characteristics, the armor of the frontal part of the turret is written without taking into account the mantlet of the gun, and the mantlet occupies almost the entire area of the front part of the turret and has an armor thickness of 120 mm.
As a result, the thickness of the frontal part of the tower is 240 mm. This is a good indicator for a level 8 tank, since with such characteristics it is possible to tank level 10 shells. The upper front part of the hull has also been improved. Declension increases the reduced armor and is hard to break for classmates and some level 9s. The vulnerable zone is located in the bar, which acts as a partition between the lower and upper armor plates, and the lower frontal part is traditionally vulnerable, which even the 6th levels penetrate without any problems. It is worth noting such a drawback as engine crit. The German transmission is in the front, so almost every enemy shot damages the engine. The sides of the tank were also improved to 100 mm. The lion can now tank classmates' projectiles with the sides, but only at the right angles. An extra turn will immediately lead to penetration.
The Lion is armed with a 105 mm gun.
Aiming time is almost 3 seconds, but a small spread allows you to shoot without retracting. Good stabilization allows you to actively move through enemy defenses and regularly deal damage on the move. Accuracy makes it possible to be a sniper and aim the enemy at the longest distances. There are no problems with armor penetration either, since 234 mm at level 8 pierces absolutely all vehicles. The gun is also comfortable in confrontations with 10s. The disadvantage is the weak rate of fire -1600 units. damage per minute and a small one-time damage of 320 pts.
The main drawback of the tank is its dynamics. The specific power of 11 hp / t makes it take a long time to gain a maximum speed of 35 km / h. The tank weighs more than 90 tons, so agility will be inappropriate in his case.
It is worth noting the large viewing radius of the German. 400 m is the standard figure. If you pump the “radio interception” skill to the radio operator, the “eagle eye” skill to the commander and install the “enlightened optics” equipment, then you can detect enemy tanks almost at the LT level. The tank earns a lot of silver for the damage done, and if you add the detection of vehicles, then the profit coefficient will increase significantly.
It is worth noting such an improvement as an increase in the vertical aiming angles of the gun to -10 degrees. This greatly improved the game from the tower. With such angles, the tank became practically impenetrable, but only in certain areas. The lion has become a universal technique, so it will feel comfortable both on city maps and on spatial maps with relief terrain.

Is Lowe Worth Buying?
It is currently the best-selling vehicle in the game. The cost of the German is more than 2700 rubles, however, after significant improvements, many players fell in love with him. It has all the necessary qualities to earn silver. Dealing damage is comfortable because the gun has good accuracy and stabilization. In addition to the damage, an excellent view radius is added, which also brings additional credits and experience to the tanker's treasury. The lack of a tank in its dynamics, so not every player will be able to enjoy the game on the German. The lion cannot quickly change the location on the map, due to which the choice of tactics often decides the outcome of the battle and personal achievements. You should always try to use the best quality of the tank - its turret. With good declination angles, Lowe can tank from the turret while actively shining on allies.
