Good time to be a T8 player with all the low levels buying these in order to join the battle.

I'm going to wait for the Russian premium. Anyway, good to see that the tier eight premiums have started rolling out with the Löwe as a starter.

I bought the Lowe.  It's a very good tank, and a fun Tier 8.  My only issue with it is the credit earning, which is the only reason I bought it.  A match in the Lowe is earning me about 40k gross credits.  That isn't really that much better than the credits I'm earning with my Tier 5's in general, and certainly isn't any better than the earnings of the premium Dickermax at Tier 6 which has a much less expensive price tag.  So unless they buff the credit earnings of this tank, I regretfully have to say that I do not recommend buying it.  You can earn nearly as much credits on non-premium mid tiers and/or the Dickermax in particular.  $27 is a lot spent for a game on my ipad, and I'd ask for a refund if I could.  I do recommend the Dickermax though.

 

That said, Blitz is the best game I've ever played on my Ipad, and a remarkable adaptation to a small screen of WoT's.  But, hey WG, give a buff to credit earning in this game, and the Lowe in particular!  Even with the Lowe and Dickermax, I'm sitting with unlocked Tier 5's and 6's in the tech tree that I can't even purchase.  And we all know how much steeper the curve becomes at higher tiers on credits.

 

Just played battles in Dickermax, Lowe, Ram-II, and T1 Heavy for comparison.  Note, I currently have a premium account.

 

Lowe--1786 damage, 48160 credits received (net was about 41k)

Dickermax--2035 damage, 50952 credits received (my best credit earner per battle, and about half the cost of the Lowe)

Ram-II--1145 damage, 33409 credits received (net was about 31k, and it's about 1/4th the cost of the Lowe...huge value gap there in the Ram's favor)

T1 Heavy--1226 damage, 25335 credits received (net was about 22k)

 

This is just one battle in each of course, and therefore doesn't represent averages.  In fact, these four matchs (all victories, were all higher than my average damage in matches so far on these tanks.  My damage averages in each tank are:

 

Lowe--11 Battles, 1239 ave. dmg. (I'm guessing my damage will improve in this tank with more battles, which will boost the credits earned; but credits would have to nearly double to match the value of the Dickermax for the pricetag imo).

Dickermax--26 Battles, 1310 ave. dmg.

T1 Heavy--38 Battles, 965 ave. dmg.

Ram-II--27 Battles, 901 ave. dmg.

Will this be available again?

 

i want the Lowe sold in the store because it has cup holders. The one in the tech tree does not.

I really want the Lowe, too. But moneyz...

[someguyfromPitt]

War Gaming, cant you overlook the other issues and since you like releasing tanks that we don't want, how bout a custom skinned Löwe with a cardboard skin. The other thing id like to see in my Löwe is a backup camera and beeping soumds when in reverse. 

 

Sound good?

I thought this was available in the tech tree all along?

This is news from july 2014

[BobaFett_56]

Why not have this as the anniversary gift instead of the M3 light tank that everyone will hate and sell it within hours once again...
