- 1 German Löwe tier VIII heavy tank
- 1 garage slot in World of Tanks
- 1 Improved Ventilation Class 3
- 1 Enhanced Gun Laying Drive
- 1 Large Caliber Tank Gun Rammer
The Löwe heavy tank is a quite powerful tier VIII vehicle, except when fighting tier IX and X enemies. This tank struggles against high tier enemies due its poor manoeuvrability. Although its gun has good accuracy, it lacks the necessary rate of fire to inflict effective damage in high tier vehicles.
Let's convert the advent calendar offer items value to gold. The Löwe is worth 12500 gold, the garage slot is worth 300 gold, the Improved Ventilation Class 3 is worth 1500 gold, the Enhanced Gun Laying Drive is worth 1250 gold and the Large Caliber Tank Gun Rammer is worth 1250 gold. The total value of the offer is 16800 gold.
The price of the heavy tank Löwe in the gift shop is 43.27 EUR. This package just includes an additional garage slot. So the total value of the package is 12800 gold. The advent calendar offer has an added value of 4000 gold for a difference of 0.68 EUR when compared with the 43.27 EUR package. Although the special offer includes three pieces of equipment, additional gear would be necessary to prepare the premium vehicle for combat:
- Equip the three essential consumables (Small Repair Kit, Small First Aid Kit and Manual Fire Extinguishers), 9000 credits.
- Load 50 AP, 20 APCR and 10 HE ammunition, 151500 credits.
This would incur a total cost of 160500 credits (or approximately 400 gold) after the Löwe is acquired. If the player decides to replace the Enhanced Gun Laying Drive for a Vertical Stabilizer Mk2, the incurred cost will increase to 760900 credits (or approximately 1902 gold). Moreover, if the player does not have a crew from other German heavy tanks, then the incurred cost would be higher if credits or gold were spent to train a new crew.
The Löwe average net income is 21667 credits per battle and the average win rate is 49% (source: vbaddict.net). The net income of the tank will remain high even if the player has more defeats than victories. The player would need to play approximately 310 battles to pay off the special offer value.
Should you buy it?
Yes! You should buy it if you already have one or more high tier German heavy tanks. The Löwe is an excellent alternative to increase your credit net income and crew experience. The package added value is higher than the incurred costs, which makes this offer a very good deal for you.
No! You should not buy it if you do not have any high tier German heavy tanks. If you are just looking for a tier VIII premium vehicle to play in high tier battles, the performance of the Löwe could disappoint you.
