Making the Lorraine 40 T Shine Despite Its Age in World of Tanks!

[@ogmechsftw]

the real problem is, you usually only have time to fire two shots in the lorraine. rarely do you ever fire all 4 at the same opponent, and if you do it's a high-commitment trade. with the borat, you just fire 1-2 shots and reload for 20s. super flexible, low commitment/risk. furthermore, borat has better camo, mobility, alpha damage, inter-clip and clip reload time as well as being smaller

[@vvav]

I've always thought the Lorr was a good, balanced vehicle, but the stat websites say its winrate is kind of garbage. I guess it's hard to play a tier 8 medium that isn't Borat or Progetto.

[@paracelse2983]

Reload is killing it in this fast paced meta

[@KC-yk5xe]

Agreed really love the tank

[@gilmeaguitar]

well IMO it's 10x better than my CDC...

[@KEBB-ho7fr]

I adore my lorr. 40t, extremely hard vehicle to play in the current meta of WoT, but man does it make you think and I prefer that to hulldown cupola sniping. Was one of my first three marks aswell so I may be a bit biased.

[@Orcone]

The lorr is a bit of a pickle. It has no armor, its huge and has a gun that encourages to play from a mid to close range. But that's where its strength also is. It is mobile, even backwards :D Its an autoloader that teaches you positional gameplay and reload timers. Compared to the progetto it sacrifices gunhandling for a bigger gun and one of the most underrated aspects, penetration. The french 100mm is around the top of it's tier in terms of base pen so it rarely requires you to load gold. And if so you still get one of the best medium tank apcr pens on its tier. Which also adds to it's selling point.

[@spyritwind2540]

Well said. Gun is always a little derpy :( otherwise I have no other complaints.

[@joe125ful]

Why have this when Spaghetoo is just much better..

[@ashtheswan705]

They have different strengths, progetto is more versatile but lorr. has better clip potential

[@joe125ful]

@@ashtheswan705 Yes but you loose flexibility,400dpm and have derpy gun.

[@Orcone]

@@joe125ful Prog is the better tank overall but that does not mean the lorr is suddenly useless. The better penetration, alpha, module damage and clip potential makes it far deadlier at closer ranges against heavier tanks.

[@destroier920]

Man i still remember playing the OG Lorr. 40t when it was a T9 MT, glorious times. It was such a fun tank to platoon in. Only down side to it was that it's a french tank, and by that I mean that the gun is notoriously troll, you either hit every shot or miss everyshot fully aimed.

Lorr. is magical for me and you can see it in skills battles. Although the gun doesn't treat you good all the time the damage is just stacking up. I like autoloaders but I never felt 100 % comfortable with Lorr. Still I have 2.8k WN8 after 130 battles with 59 % WR and 2k DPG. I don't know, Lorr. just has a punch.

[@livingproof4788]

Lorraine 40t is very good since i have started playing WoT in 2023 it's one of my favourite med tanks, you just need to know how to play it well and have affinity with autoloaders and repositioning and situational awareness and it can do wonders. Of course it is pile of crap in bad player's hands. It used to be a t9 earlier actually. The pen on standard ammo is good enough to not use gold and with bounty equip its pretty damn accurate aswell. Not to mention the rubber wheels of the tracks which even make it possible to jump of the cliffs without taking damage. You can also ram other tanks with it because it's very nimble and quite heavy. The gun handling is very nice actually with good depression and turning speeds.

[@joe125ful]

It was good tank but gun is derpy and you have no armor,HE can pen you. Spaghetto for win.

[@livingproof4788]

@@joe125fulThats why one should avoid getting spotted/hit. And it's the thing with this tank. It's quick so it can reposition quickly.

[@joe125ful]

@@livingproof4788 Yeah but compare size of lol lorr and spaghettto and armor. With Spaghetto you have much bigger chance to survive because enemy will shoot AP and can bounce you. And your reload painfull 30 seconds..low tiers can pen you 5-6 times and higher tiers 3-4 times thats not good.And compare dpm 1680 vs 2068 is big difference too.

[@livingproof4788]

@@joe125ful ​ @joe125ful Thats why you need to know what you are doing my dude. I own Spaghetto also and i think they both are good tanks. But Lorr has higher skill cap.

[@joe125ful]

@@livingproof4788 I agree i was pointing Spaghetto is much more friendly to less skilled players. And as Skill says in first game its really hard get dmg even if you have good mag potencial and you really need think a lot too. I rather choose that slower Lol Lorr it have some armor.

[@citizenoftheverse4653]

Frankly Lorraine 40t is a great tank and super fun to play BUT you need to know good positions, correctly manage your reload sessions and think twice about what you are doing. So imo to use it correctly you must be experienced player that know autoloader play style and know the light tank play style because Lorraine 40t is basicaly a light tank that pretend to be a medium tank.

[@EmmanuelPasquet-b9x]

The game is lagging quite a bit for me too for some weeks and don't know why either

[@hallesberries7813]

Should the ammo not be rated like 4 stars?

[@triggSerable]

They should give it a bit less deviation and dispersion values so that it's not made completely superflous by the bourrasque.

[@glowsinthedark235]

I like Lorraine because it’s very nice when it works. You can spot if you need, clip and pen is nice, mobility is great and only issues are armour and gun handling. Feels like a mix between 50B and 25t.

[@rolfustroli7170]

Actually one of my favorit tanks

[@krzysztofgola9715]

Maybe you will make video about LIS? It's currently available in trade-in event and last dedicated video with this tank was back in 2022. :)

[@MrAxelbb]

Better dpm or more accuracy and maybe +10m viewrange. This would be solid tank.

[@joe125ful]

I say 2000 base dpm help a lot! Lol lorr have 1680dpm Slaghetto 2086 dpm that is big difference. And better gun handling help too.

This tank works just fine as a supporter/sniper. I just wish that if this tank has a better camo, then it would be awesome.

[@puma51921]

Wanted to love this tank but couldn't. Gun was average and reload speed was so slow, the game was almost over by the time it loaded a new magazine.

[@mosayyeed]

The Lorraine wheels look like normal inflatable wheels covered with tracks, same as the Lorr arties too. Does that means Lorr. can move even after being detracked?

[@jhonylg4045]

Lol last time i have played the Loraine, it was a tech tree tank just before Bat Chat 25t, actually that one, the tech tree tier 9 that i played, that one i loved it!!! It was preety strong medium at that time... unfurtunatly i had to sold it to get my 1st tier 10 tank, lol ( and back then this one was a beast!!!), my still loved Bat Chat!! (These days it is a shadow from its glorious past... but i still love it.)

To be fair you cant trust bourasque gun handling either.... that gun can be a massive troll.

[@bonsai9069]

@@Derguz I get that, i use my bour all the time.... the point was just the gun handling is nothing different to other tanks it is just that is does not have the OP characteristics of those other tanks which is why people find the lorr hard to handle.

Lorraine is probably the biggest pile of.. shall we say kaku I've ever driven in WoT. That being said - it's a either-or tank.. Either you have an amazing game with 3k+ damage, tracking assist etc. or you get 0 dmg and an early exit to the garage.. The skill level on the tank is pretty high imo.

[@panzerwafflez7228]

Got a 2 mark on it and gave up on the 3 mark...I have to say that French 100mm SA47 thats on literally almost every single t7-9 French tank, prem or tech tree, is one of the most INFURIATING guns Ive ever used because of its shit gun handling on pretty much every tank its on...

[@joe125ful]

Yes enemy can pen you by HE,worst low tiers can slap you easy.

[@o_j_o6447]

I like the tank but cant trust the gun And this tank is so old, it needs some buff on gun handling Tiny touch of dpm buff could be also good

Well i dont think Lorr40t is frustrating, if u push the gunhandling it brings alot of fun. But u rly gotta know what ur doing and better think twice what u plan to do. In my opinion its also good to make some credits, not Skorpion level but still good.
