2. Write 1-3 paragraphs of "meat". Talk about what the ship does well, what it doesn't, how it compares to same tier ships of the same type, how it compares to the previous ship in the tech tree, whatever. Try to avoid quoting vital statistics to players unless it is really relevant (i.e. concealment); they can see those in the sidebar on the right and don't need them read back. | 2.

The first thing that would catch your eye would be the massive 12 200 alpha for the HE bombs, and when compared to even Midway's HE bombs, Loewenhardt's HE bombs outperform Midway's in damage, penetration and fire chance. While the max damage may seem very impressive, however it must be rememebered that it is a HE bomb, and to achieve that stated number, the bomb will have to explode inside the citadel of a ship to do that much damage, which, at tier 6 (if not in operations), is very rare, and you'll mostly be doing about 2-4k damage per bomb hit. The fire chance of her bombs are superb, so not only will you do pretty decent damage for HE bombs at tier 6, you'll be able to quickly stack damage via fires.
While her dive bombers are pretty impressive, her torpedo bombers are pretty disappointingly lackluster. Already lacking in terms of damage per torpedo, they do not have the speed to help make up for it (unlike tech tree German aircraft carriers), so Loewenhardt's torpedo bombers will basically be your last ditch weapon if you have nothing else to use, or want to try to flood a battleship if your dive bombers are not yet ready.
Her AP rocket planes, taken from Parseval's stock AP rocket planes, feature very impressive performance for tier 6, with a good amount of penetration and damage. Against cruisers she would see in her matchmaking spread, the AP rockets are very deadly if they're caught with their broadside open to the rockets.
A very powerful secondary battery is also another distinguishing point of E.Loewenhardt, having a whopping 4x2 150 mm per side and 5x2 105 mm (2x2 in front of the island and 3x2 behind, in a style similar to Graf Zeppelin's 105 mm mounts), it is the heaviest secondary broadside among tier 6 carriers. And having the 105 mm means that she has a decently strong AA suite as well.Pros:
- Aircraft have good cruising and max speeds, and a decent enough HP pool.
- AP rockets are the same as Parseval's stock AP rockets (Sprenggranate), but at tier 6
- HE bomber reticle is a circle (similar to GZ's AP bombers), which means you can attack from any angle
- HE bombs instead of AP bombs means you're not limited to striking only certain classes to bring out the full potential of the ordnance
- Very strong secondary battery array, featuring 4x2 150 mm cannons on each side and 5x2 105 mm mounted on the deck in front and behind the superstructure
Cons:
- Only 6 plane per squadron and 9 on deck (for each type), which means heavy losses will be felt
- Very poor torpedo performance; weak damage, low flooding chance, and very slow speeds, unlike the tech tree versions
- Dive bomber behaviour is very different from other nation's dive bomber behaviour, and would require some getting
- Large and unprotected hull
