Wow, this is already my 50th puzzle. I hope I could give some mind bending rewarding moments to you solvers out there. Just an approachable loop puzzle this time. Once I was done setting, I realized that the loop itself does not follow any restriction. I hope you enjoy, leave a comment if you do so.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Draw a 1-cell wide loop of orthogonally connected cells in the grid. The loop can't touch itself, not even diagonally.
Tiny Arrows: Cells containing a black arrow give the COMBINED number of loop cells seen in the arrows direction(s). Non-loop-cells DO NOT block the vision.
Digits in a squares count the number of horizontally AND vertically visible LOOP cells including itself. Non-loop-cells DO block the vision.
Kropki pairs: Digits in cells separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio. Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Additionally the loop has no restrictions.
Lösungscode: Loop cells in row 4 left to right.

@nearestneighbour, the arrow cells don't count towards it's number of loop cells

Do the cells containing the tiny arrows count towards the tiny arrow count?
