it was designed for an 10.5cm (4.1in) L/70 gun or 15cm (5.9in) L/38 gun or 8.8cm (3.5in)L/71 gun or 12.8cm (5in) kwk44 L/55 gun 5 crew secondary armament of 1 mg34 or mg42

1) it's a paper tank
2) it adds nothing to the game. People already complain about Maus, this would be similar.

to be fair, there are plenty of paper tanks in warthunder. But yeah gaijin couldn't even balance the Maus, so I doubt they could balance the Lowe

Yeah but unlike WOT war Thunder wants to keep it as historical as possible unless they need to fill out some much needed gaps. And Germany has no gaps to fill

So was the Yak141, this excuse doesn't matter much anymore apparently to Gaijin sadly, as well as the F16AJ, and i'm sure there will be plenty more vehicles that didn't enter service or fully fly, but its a game, and its gaijins game at that, so they get to choose what to do for better or worse

April fools? Maybe. Event reward? I doubt

1) is, it's why we don't have Panther II, 105mm King Tiger and such anymore.

There is no need for the Lowe putting asides that its a paper tank.
For all practical purposes the equivalent is already in WT.
Tiger II (10.5 cm Kw.K)

And what would be the difference in pen by having a 21cm or roughly 8 inch longer barrel?

Yak-141 was built and flown. Not a paper vehicle necessarily as it did have a prototype built. I'd say the Maus too (isn't the one in game based off the Kubinka example made from two different examples?)

Now the weapons systems configurations it at best are hypothetical, that imo could almost have it be considered a paper vehicle. In a way, I would say this is like the F-16AJ.

The R2Y jets in the Japan tree are actually paper vehicles, as they never made it to prototype stage.
