?| Like the [[Bat.-Châtillon 155 55]] the Bat.-Châtillon 155 58's gun has a 360° traverse making the vehicle very flexible in terms of positioning, as well as very quick to aim when changing its focus of fire. It has a 4 round drum auto-loader, giving it an advantage in rapid strikes on an exposed target before it retreats to cover. As with most French tanks, it is quite mobile, making counter battering this vehicle nearly impossible. To balance these abilities, its main gun is only a 155mm howitzer, which does very poor damage compared to the [[T92]], [[Object 261]], [[Conqueror Gun Carriage]] or [[G.W. E 100]]. While it can't dish out as much damage per shot as the other Tier X artillery, it can defend itself well due to its fully traversable gun and good mobility. Be aware that the magazine reload time is extraordinarily long. Still, the weak gun doesn't make this artillery underpowered, a good direct hit from this gun can easily cripple an enemy tank.+

?The 4 rounds provided by the auto-loader coupled with speed, flexibility, and an accurate gun make this SPG a blast to play. While the 155 58 may not the hardest hitting of the tier 10 artillery pieces, it is certainly the most flexible and most maneuverable. A good tactic to utilize when playing this SPG is to turn your hull perpendicular to your current firing arc. This allows you to move side to side in relation to your line of fire, making it substantially more difficult to be hit by counter-battery fire. Also, if foolish light or medium tank players try to ram it, it's possible to survive and fire all 4 shells of the drum into the enemy, killing it.+

?As a result of this SPG having a 360° traversable gun, it is also possible to simply play like a TD and provide direct fire support for your allies, though in many cases (especially in higher tier battles which this SPG will most certainly be a part of) this isn't always the brightest idea. Many tanks can easily two shot you, and unless you have a full magazine of rounds, you're toast. The armor on this SPG is poor even by SPG standards.+

?The reload on the autoloader for this SPG really is quite horrid, it takes around a minute and a half to load a magazine. That said, once you're loaded, you can really keep some heads down. The speed at which you can fire is incredible, being capable of firing an entire clip in just under 20 seconds, which allows you to put some substantial hurt on the enemy. +

?Following Lorraine’s project of the self propelled howitzer, Batignolles Chatillon started the work on the self propelled artillery vehicle with a fully rotatable turret. Main feature was to be drum based automatic loader system installed in the turret. In late 1958 all development was cancelled and project was abandoned with only a one prototype built.+
