World of Tanks Löwe - 6 Kills 7,7K Damage (Himmelsdorf)

The Löwe is a German tier 8 premium heavy tank.

Development of this 70-ton super-heavy tank started on November 1, 1941. In February 1942, the Krupp company suggested the VK 70.01 avant project, later designated the Löwe ("Lion"). Several designs varying in configuration, armament, and armor, were drafted. However, the project was canceled after the Führer made the decision to develop even heavier tanks. No prototypes were ever built.

Looks can be deceiving, on paper Löwe is a 90ton super heavy able to dominate a flank. 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.

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. As a premium tank, it produces a significantly higher credit income than a typical tier 8 tank. The Löwe was added in the 0.6.4. patch, along with the KV-5 heavy tank.
