In March 1941, after taking part in fights and encountering heavy enemy tanks which could withstand hits of short-barreled 75 mm guns of medium tanks but were stopped only by antiaircraft 88 mm guns, the Reich Ministry gave an order to create a new tank with an option of mounting a powerful 105 mm antitank gun due to intelligence reports on presence of even heavier tanks in the tank. In December 1941 the design of the tank reflecting all the wishes of the military, in particular the powerful frontal armor and the most powerful weaponry on the tanks of Germany were ready. A wooden mockup of a 1-to-1 tank was built, but because of poor alignment of the turret, calculations predicted frequent tank failures. Then a new turret was designed, similar to the one being designed in parallel at the Porsche company. Interested in the design, the Porsche company took part in designing the turret, especially taking into account a possible installation of a 105 mm gun with a secondary loader, which took much room, or 128 and 150 mm guns, which also took much room. The final turret was very similar to that of the VK 45.03, but with a much larger shoulder and height, allowing almost any gun to be mounted.
In the absence of suitable engines, in March 1942 a final and significant change to the tank was made, namely an increase in the engine compartment, with the addition of a 1,000 horsepower engine. The final performance fully satisfied the military, and the bogie suspension (Quiet Block) with its simplicity and reliability provided the military with a good, but extremely heavy tank, weighing 75 tons.

MEIN GOTT
@RussianAce lol
pls stop
@Fox3 Onwards, comrades, onwards for the Soviet Union, charge!
@Ruskiwaffle1991 Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!
@Fox3 The end of the Third Reich draws near
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here, it's time to attack!
@Ruskiwaffle1991 Fields of Prokhorovka
Where the heat of battle burned
Suffered heavy losses
And the tide of war was turned
Driving back the Germans
Fighting on four fronts
Hunt them out of Russia
Out of Soviet land
Reinforce the front line
Force the axis to retreat
Send in all the reserves
Securing their defeat
Soldiers of the Union
Broke the citadel
Ruins of an army
Axis rest in hell
@Fox3 INTO THE MOTHERLAND THE GERMAN ARMY MARCH
COMRADES, SIDE BY SIDE TO STOP THE NAZI CHARGE
PANZERS ON RUSSIAN SOIL, A THUNDER IN THE EAST
ONE MILLION MEN AT WAR, SOVIET WRATH UNLEASHED
@Ruskiwaffle1991 The end of the third Reich draws near
It's time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
It's time to attack!
@Fox3 Imminent invasion, imminent attack
Once the battle started, there's no turning back
@Ruskiwaffle1991 Mines are placed in darkness
In the cover of the night
Waiting to be triggered
When the time is right
@Fox3 Ready for the onslaught, ready for the fight
Waiting for the Axis to march into a trap
@Ruskiwaffle1991 Tanks line up in thousands as far the eye can see
@Fox3 In the Soviet Union, summer 1943
Why the mod dont workS?
Will there be version B?
RIP mobile devices.
How do I install mods? I would like the tracks to be able to us it
I see that there are overlapping wheels!
This is pretty good! But I think the base of the gun barrel where it connects to the mantlet could use some thinning. Also, The rear of the turret might look more aesthetic if it's 30% wider.
I love the Löwe. Prob my favorite tank through WW2. Great job!
Into the motherland the german army march
@Shippy456 seems to be there, but this requires the source code of this mod.
In addition, it still needs to be reworked for 64-bits.
Is there a possible way to make tracks 2 compatible for mobile? The same way someone incorporated antialiasing within SimplePlanes for mobile?
