Hitler's Lion, the Panzer VII Löwe | Cursed by Design

Imagine the Löwe and Tiger 2 driving together next to one another

The design with the 105mm was servicable so hitler fucking everything up because he knew jackshit about tanks is delightful

immediately downvoting every video that advertises these dumbass tank MMOs.

The greatest fortune of WWII was that German weapons development and production was managed by a group of completely incompetent people. This incompetence hastened their demise quite significantly. What the Germans didn't have before the war, they couldn't put together during the war and it was just chaos.

"Loo-vuh" is closer phonetically to the correct pronunciation, but thanks for trying more than other channels 🤣

Anything that big,isn't practical, the resources needed to build 1 lion can build several others

The turret design of the Lowe is brilliant. Not sure why it never was implemented.

🔥

LOL, so with limited fuel, logistics and poor gearboxes they wanted a 1000bhp engine in a 70Ton tank that could not cross many bridges due to the weight ... so much wasted effort by the goose stepping reach around club.

Germany has so many chances to better themselves but num-nuts adolph screwed everything up.

They were no tanks.
They were self propelled fortresses.

Fartzoyg??? Didn’t know they had German tocos ????

800 HP for 90 tons? 😂

PS. "Call Of War" is way too addictive for me. :) Regards!

It would have been interesting to see that thing performing in battle, though... However even with that new engine ...800Hp you said?? ...that's still NOTHING for a beast of that size, weighing at least 72 tons and carrying a 105 / L70 gun...

Why didn't they use a fighter plane engine? Much higher horsepower

Not sure why but the look of the turret/gunand mantle just vibes with me. One of my favorites

Projects like that made me really believe in theory that Hitler had a micropenis. This rumors was originated from doctor's notes which was taken during medical examination when he's got in prison after the failed Munich beer hall putsch in 1923

You done well! This is the first i have heard of this super heavy tank, Another crazy Hitler idea 🤔

I suspect, as with many things being developed during WW2 for Germany, that had Hitler had the intelligence to keep his damn fingers out of the mix, and let the designers actually, oh you know DESIGN the vehicles... then we very well may have seen the Lowe, and various other interesting tank designs make it into full production.

Good thing Hitler didn't say "make medium tanks and medium tank destroyers and make tens od thousands if them"

You sould do a AT British TD line

imagine this in War Thunder

Hans we need a better transmission.
Hans: Bigger Kannon, your say?

The "Löwe" looks shit id never expect that to be. German tank i mean that mofo is giving me nightmares

this was such a good premium in WoT

This is a tiger 1, tiger 2 and is-2 if they had a baby

and krupp still had that stupid turret design where you can easily jam the turret or have a shell richochet down bellow into the driver. Great. t-54 had a much better design.

no one contributed more to the downfall of the germany army other than hitler himself. Him and his stupid ideas.

"Ah yes, lets decrease the HP"

The USA, Russia, UK, the world, need and be glad, Germnay wasted so much money and time on super weapons.

Still waiting for this to be in war thunder.

So interesting it might be. Those super-heavy tanks where just a waste of resources -- what is good, because so we got rid of the fascists in Germany earlier. I even would count the Tiger 2 as big waste -- because the resources needed for this tank would have been allocated elsewhere much better. Particularly fuel, which was getting very scarce when the Tiger 2 was ready.

The one major flaw with German tank design was that they were over - engineered. They needed bigger numbers of tanks, but their tanks too much material and too many man hours to build.

Bonkers. Hitler lost his own war............

thank you . ( 2023 / Oct / 20 )

I have literally NEVER heard the extended rear of a tank's turret being called the "rucksack", as far as I'm aware it is universally (in English at least) referred to as the "bustle".

Schwachsinn,so wie viele Kommentare.
Selber schlau machen ist der beste Weg,es nennt sich auch Bildung.
Dann glaubt man auch nicht mehr jeden schei....

Looks like an IS 2

Oh! The Germans finally copied the T-34 and scaled it up. Although, the Panther T5 was a more sane copy of the T-34.

I like the design with the turrent in the rear.

still the most handsome turret and mantlet on any tank

should have massed produced the STUG 3

Panzer VII Löwe = "unt' ja', vee vill' defeat das' allies by over tinking' der process of over engineering'

Tank looks decades ahead of others in design.

hitler got a lion,tiger and M O U S E

u forget about the KF51 Panther design that was only bring out in 2022
