Sure, there are good Löwe drivers, but majority is bad. You have to use XVM to “differ”, as a below-200-WN8 driver wouldn’t have carried in such a way.

The Löwe is a classic example of a difficult tank. There has someone to drive it that understands and actively uses its strengths (like the ability to get in effective hull-down due to the rounded turret and mantlet, the gun is definitively stronk, and its hull-armor is respectable and especially good for sidescraping), but there are not too many of those out there. A noob only shows off the Löwe’s crippling weaknesses, aka the rather long aim time, the worse DPM, the non-existant hull-armor (if not angled properly, most noobs have never heard about sidescraping and hull-down and such) and its bad, bad mobility. KV-5 is basically the same, but has a crap pen, making it even more difficult to drive.

T34 is actually the most balanced, even if it has similar strengths and weaknesses to Löwe, but its role on the battlefield is more defined as well as the strenghts and weaknesses are more obvious.

Nevertheless, every tank is like this and has strengths and weaknesses you have to deal with, there is just no perfect tank, and if there would be, it would be OP.

Even current KV-ASS isn’t perfect but has purely OP damage, that’s all.

It’s because they are. He also didn’t bother with normalisation at all. I still use WG sounds as they are od the highest quality.

I beg to differ, fella. Last night I was playing a Karelia defence mission, and saw an enemy Löwe driver kill a couple of tier 9 tanks on my team, followed by a full health, face-hugging Obj 268, all by himself. He carried the enemy team, but the fight with the 268 left him with only a few hit points, and we had a couple more tanks left to defend. As he got killed, many of our team still watching commended him with his valiant effort.

I think this is much better than WG’s RNG series..

Was convinced Gnomefather gun sounds-user until I first played with the Kriegstreiber booms…well, changed my mind, echoes, BOOM, everything is better, Gnomefather just puts more work into it because he wants every single caliber to sound different. Even same-caliber gun sounds are different from time to time, and that made me suspicious…Real-life guns just don’t sound that different from each other. Sure, there is a difference between 15cm and 7.5cm, but really…the way Gnomefather made it is just too forced to diversity. And the said difference is so much more realistic in Kriegstreiber’s mod, 15cm sounds like “BOOOOOOOOM” “ECHOOOOOO” echo echo, 75mm is a bit more calm, but has the boom and echo as well. Some Gnomefather sounds don’t even have an echo, and some have a louder echo than shot, as if they’d be straight from YouTube.

Interesting, right? I still have no darn clue on why this is like that…
Let’s look at how such a beginner noob would choose a T8 prem heavy tank, ofc size of gun and gun stats…but why then no T34, more pen, more damage, accurate, bigger caliber?
One sees generally less noob-T34 than average-good-T34s, actually I can’t think of seeing a noob-T34 in the last days. But Löwe…seems to be the general german attraction, I think there are more german tank players than any other nation, at least if we count lower tiers (where the beginners are at).
