?|This SPG is excellent example of most of the French artillery line. It carries one the weakest guns of its class and tier damage wise, however, this is helped by an better rate of fire, accuracy, and aim time compared to others SPG's of its tier. Though unimpressive, the 155 51 still carries enough firepower to preform well in its role. The most unique feature of this vehicle, is clearly its unmatched mobility. No other SPG of this tier can move faster, making relocating an easy task; it can even outrun some mediums tanks if necessary. +

?* The SCR 528F Radio carries over from the Lorraine 155 mle. 50. Mount it immediately.+

?* The Maybach 850 CV offers much higher horsepower, but as with all french SPGs its not really needed, unless you want to keep this SPG. +

?[[image:Lorraine155 02 Prototype n° 2 photo ECPA.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Lorraine 155 mm model 1951]]+
?In 1950, Lorraine started the development of its own self-propelled gun. Lorraine’s engineers proposed two different concepts on the same chassis, although at certain point of the development even a wheeled chassis was considered as an alternative to the tracked one. Official names of the prototypes were “1a” (model 1950) and “2a” (model 1951). The main armament of both prototypes was 155 mm howitzer. First prototype, marked as “model 1950” had its howitzer mounted in the centrally placed casemate, while the “model 1951” had the structure pushed to the front of the veichle. Early versions had a Talbot made engine, but by the year 1951 a Maybach engine was installed. +
? +
?Trials revealed a number of serious design flaws, so in 1954 a model with a fully rotatable turret was considered. As at the time Batignolles Chatillon was already involved in development of similar project, Lorraine’s ideas were rejected, and all further development was canceled.+
