Noivy, on Jun 22 2018 - 12:20, said: Lowe currently sits on the Meh Tier on my list of tier 8 premium ratings, a rating which does not seem to sit well with a lot of people, but I'll lay down the reasoning for it.   Pros: It's health pool is really good, has a decent enough turret front and the depression to go hull down, and has really good gun handling and accuracy.   Cons: It's morbidly slow, and pair that with its large size means that if it gets caught in a bad position, it will take fire. Its DPM is also one of the lowest in tier 8, tied with the T34 at ~1650. Its armor is also lacking and worst of all, flat, having a textbook example of a large weak lower glacis plate that most tier 6 top guns can penetrate without premium ammo.   It's a niche support tank on the battlefield, and there are other heavies, including premium ones, that can do its job better. But unless you have a VK7201, you can't ask for a better german heavy tank crew trainer.
