The Lorraine 40 t is a French tier 8 premium medium tank.
This experimental French tank was developed during the 1940s. Two prototypes were manufactured in 1952. In addition to the oscillating turret, the vehicle featured suspension with air-core tires and pike nose armor. The design passed trials, but never entered mass production.
The Lorraine 40t is a French Tier 8 premium medium tank. Once it was a Tier 9 medium tank in the Batchat 25T line before patch 0.9.15.1, when it was replaced by the Bat.-Châtillon 25 t AP. It was returned in patch 9.17.1 as it was visible in the vehicle comparison and later released in online store. In its returned form, it has 1300 HP and carries a 4 round drum autoloader. Also comes with a unique camouflage that changes in every map you play.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- 4-round autoloader wigh high burst damage
- Excellent damage and penetration for a Tier 8 medium
- Excellent speed and acceleration
- Good gun depression and elevation for an autoloader
- Despite its size, it has fairly good camouflage
Cons:
- No armor to speak of and average hitpoint pool
- Poor hull traverse speed
- Very large profile, can be difficult to hide
- Gun handling and aim time are bad for a medium tank
- Long magazine reload time
Performance
Even after it was returned as a tier 8 premium, compared to the other tier 8 mediums the Lorraine 40 t features the lowest armor values while being even bigger than the Panther II. However, the ability to equip the devastating 100mm SA47 more than compensates for its unfortunate shape by being able to penetrate most Tier 8/9 Tanks. Bear in mind however that reloading the 100mm SA47 magazine takes time, so its best to plan ahead and look for cover or a quick way out of enemy crossfire as even Low-Tier-Tanks can easily penetrate its armor.
Overall, the Lorraine 40 t is a destructive but vulnerable hit and run tank and excels in delivering fatal blows to preferably distracted enemies.
The Lorraine 40 t can be very useful as a practice tank for players that are interested in following the French light and heavy tank lines and are looking to gain some experience in playing these kinds of autoloading tanks. It is also a good moneymaker thanks to the low ammo costs.
Avoid brawling with other medium tanks. Your turret rotator is easily damaged which results jamming your turret and hits on your side under turret damage your ammorack. Missing or bouncing a shot could mean you run out of ammo while fighting the enemy and you get quickly killed. Don't try to scout in any circumstances like you did with AMX 13 90. Use equipment to minimize your aiming time.
Just remember, support your team at the start of the battle and don't go solo, otherwise you'll end up in an early grave. You can easily finish off wounded enemy tanks in endgame if you have hitpoints left.
