    It's a big soft easy to spot target. However, it's relatively fast and the clip potential is good, making it a strong support tank for skilled players. In the end game it becomes very dangerous because it has the potential clip out the remaining low health tanks.

    • @MarkoMakela-mv8dt

    Before skills says anything, I like it. Gun is trolly and platform is huge but the speed and clip potential is great. I will say though that I used to run all bounty equipment and switching to standard did make a difference in the gun for sure. If you have them and plan on playing this tank a decent amount I HIGHLY recommend bounty stabilizers. Also this is day SIXTEEN asking for Charlemagne:)

    I struggle to make myself like this tank as well. Theoretically, it should be very similar to the Char Futur, but I find myself enjoying the latter much more. Also, as for t8 competition, I love my Bourrasque's speed and Astron Rex's dpm increase, as well as ability to play hull-down more.

    • @veselindimov307
      @veselindimov307 Před 10 měsíci +3

      This is NOT a Char Futur 4 in tier 8 simply because the Char has up to 230 mm of effective turret armour and not rarely bounces shots even from some tier 9 mediums. The Lorraine 40t is penned by HE. This doesn't make the Lorraine half bad, however it requires more awareness than the Char.

    • @MarkoMakela-mv8dt
      @MarkoMakela-mv8dt Před 10 měsíci +1

      Char-Futur is so far the best 'Battle Pass'-tank and among the best Tier 9's anyway... The gun behaves unlike the gun of this lorraine 40t... They are completely different tanks and Char can even bounce sometimes... Lorraine never...

      I am a autoloader fan too. Even my T71 DA is a fun tank to play and can ruin other light tanks day easily, but mostly all the autoladers, maybe as for an exception, Rhinoceronte, they are all weakly armored. AMX 50B is notorious for that and Kranvagen only reliable hulldown, but clipping someone is nice, always:P

      Very true... Although something really slipped in this game, when they introduced Tier 9 and 10 light tanks. Something about the balancing doesn't feel right... They did destroy Ferrarri aka EBR as could have expected from the 'loyal old school players' who will start to cry when veer there is something new for them... good grief...

    I have it, and I am trying to make it work (~2k dmg in avg.) The standard pen is good, mobility is decent, the clip potential is also quite awesome. My main and basically only problem with this tank is the gun handling. Same goes to Somua SM. If your gun behaves good, well u have an amazing time. But the gun says "NO" quite a lot... and if it is the case, you can scratch the wall with your own nails.

    I think that lorr 40 t has the same phylosophy as the t26E5: outdated tank for many reasons that can still work well in certain situations, they are also nice for credit grinding of you are f2p (bond storie tanks) , because the cost of projectiles (t26E5) or High standard Pen(lorr 40t)

    • @Ol_White_Fatalis
      @Ol_White_Fatalis Před 10 měsíci

      Yeah the patriot can still do well too, good mobility for a heavy, with sturdy turret too and high view range. Sad the T32 and it's premium version are just better tanks that serve the same purpose, and other hulldown heavies like the Caernarvon aswell.

      Lorr 40t was a bad tank even back when it was a tier 9 leading up to batchat. i did however enjoy it, even with all its faults but i wouldnt play it today even as tier 8.
      id rather play the AMX 50 100

  • @a3820
    @a3820 Před 10 měsíci +5

    Instant thoughts: i have this tank and for me i now much prefer progetto 46, it is much easier to play because u can play it single shot and choose when and when not to clip. The down time makes the lorraine much more complicated but it also gives u time to assess the map, the situation and come up with a plan for the next clip. Not ideal and i am not great in this tank but a good player can definitely catch people out and dump 1000+ damage into people. The intraclip reload also sucks when tanks like skoda t 50 and tvp are in the game.

    It definitely struggles, I think the intra clip reload could do with being dropped to like 2.25, and maybe a slight boost to it's aim time and accuracy buff. It's as big as some heavies, and armored like a light tank.

      Yeah I dont know how people are saying it's their "favorite tank"/"always love it" in this comment section. I have 300 battles in it 2200 avg wn8 and the gun handling ABSOLUTELY stinks, even with bounty equipment. For the last 150 battles I have been constantly struggling to achieve the 2nd mark but every other battle, I always miss half of a fully aimed clip...even with gold...

  • @garryarganis5801

    i absolutely love lorr, i recently got it from the bond store because i wanted an autoloader i have 174 battles and i average 1.9k damage with 56% win rate which might not sound so impressive but keep in mind i dont use coffee or gold ammo at all, and i play rather risky and for some reason it seems for the most part to be paying off, my max dmg with it is 5.8k on cliff, it seems to be a combination of me being lucky i guess and my playstyle. and its not like am some amazing player either, i have around 2.1k wn8
    favorite premiums Skorpion G, T44/100 and Lorr 40T hands down.

    Ok Skill, I stoped at the beginning to say that I have it and I like it, I used to LOVE old one in tier 9, but this one isn't bad either, it could use a buff, speed or gun handling or one more shell in clip for that reload since you always miss 1 or 2.

    Last I played this tank it was part of the tech tree. I have no idea what its like now. I sold it back then when I moved on to the batchat. At that time I remember it being decent or even good I think? But keep in mind this was a very different time in the game. This is the time of the t57 and the batchat being active in clan wars I think. Hell this was back when the gold you got from clan wars was more considerable. Made the game feel much less pay to win back then.

    @FreeMik19 Před 10 měsíci +2

    I bought Lorraine for bonds and I think it's alright and kind of outdated at the same time. Low DPM and clip size are manageable in long games. Clipping four shells each 300 alpha feels superior. Plus the penetration on standard shells and speed is decent.
    But DPM in short games is annoying and often you can't use the whole clip. Also the tank size, mediocre camo, gunhandling and being HE-Pinata are annoying. You can be easily farmed by BZ or Shrek with their HE. All in all you need to plan your game properly but having good games feel more rewarding

    Depending on the situation and development of a match it´s still a solid tank in experienced peoples hands. But on the other hand you are right, meanwhile we have 2024, the gameplay is faster then it ever was before and the reload time for 4 shots as well as the dispersion values and the aimtime are outdated and you feel that they are 2016 style or so (whenever it got re-released as a premium, it´s so long ago). A bit of love would be nice, i think it does not need much to be full competitive again.

    It's my main credit maker atm and I like it a lot, yea there are times where gun troll me and I'm not doing even 1 clip but overall I'm doing fine with it (at least fine for me, ~1,9k avg dmg, I'm f2p, playing without directives/food, with 2 gold clips for special occasions and bound eq)... I would say for every 4 decent games I have one where I'm doing ~600 dmg.
    Is it outdated? Compared to current top premium tanks for sure, but it still work pretty well for me and if it had just a little better gun handling it would be awesome. Would I still play it if I had Borat, Progetto or Skoda (the heavy one)? Well... I don't know, never played any of them. :P

    While it has no armor the lorrs design philosophy in game is that it is made to fight in close range with the same intent as the amx 50 100 that trades a smaller clip for a better reload and interclip. Sadly the Bour that is made for the same purpose is better at it due to having a smaller size, shorter burst and better dpm. Still the Lorrs advantage is its superior pen and having 4 shells in the clip can enjoy a lot of fires or ammoracks if you manage to hit multiple shots at the right location.
    It was one of my first premiums and to this day i still enjoy it a lot. But now i have way more knowledge about enemy reload timers and module locations compared to then. And it shows.

    I love this tank whenever I can kill a full borat in a clip, but I hate it when the gun misses everything.

    My opinion before video starts (per skills request): I bough this when it first became a premium (I still remember when it was a tier 9 tech tree tank lol). I love the Lorr, and I still have good games in it, but it is very outdated in the current meta. Equipment 2.0 did help a bit, but it’s very outclassed by current/newer premium mediums, the gun is super derpy and unreliable, and you’re huge with no armor (arty will miss you and still do 400+ damage). It’s a struggle to play, but It’s way better than the M4 Rev tho lol

  • @Ol_White_Fatalis
    @Ol_White_Fatalis Před 10 měsíci

    This tank still good i'd say. Nice for flankings and supporting allied tanks. The only real bad thing about it is the camo and derpy gun, and that makes it kind of bad in open maps, but the rest is pretty decent even nowadays. Lorr is a flanker and heavy tanks supporter for mid to close range, classical peekaboo hit and run tank. It gets the job done in maps with flanking opportunities.
    Also best tank from bond store imo. And good at ramming other paper tanks, since it is heavy at least 🤣

    I use it with vents, stabilizer and improved rotation mechanism, all standard, and food, to reduce the dispersion values of gun as much as possible. My crew have 6 perks, so thats a huge advantage too.
    With caution, patience and opportunism is dangerous like all autoloaders. Also dont have an horrible cammo value and is fast and agile.
    Is not an op tank but still funny to play with it.

    Honestly, if I had to choose between to big pile of poops, I rather choose the smaller one which for me is the Somua SM. I know that it is a heavy tank, but for some reason these two tanks are quite similar. Compared to Lorraine, Somua has the same alpha, but it has +1 in the mag, and due that it is a heavy it also has some advantage on the armour side (not much, but it has).

    It has a high skillcap to get the most out of it. Do NOT play aggressive. The armor doesn't hold up to it. I like to think of it as the fat, clumsy brother of the Bourrasque. I
    The pen value is good, the clip potential is more than adequate and it will punish over-extending enemies hard. Keep your HP together through early battle and during mid and endgame, trade wisely. Mobility let's you show up in unexpected places. Send your clip and relocate to the other flank. Gives you time to analyse the map, form a plan, get into position... rince and repeat. I think in good hands, cautiously played, it is a real threat.

    It's a challenging tank to play... Especially in the current meta which makes unarmored tanks less effective than ever before. But... It can be effective it does have a niche that isn't exactly filled by any other tank and I enjoy it when I play it.
    More difficult than ever to play, but I like it and I can't call it bad.

  • @Holykeg
    @Holykeg Před 10 měsíci

    My 2 cents before Skill. I like this tank, i even used it in Frontline, but now its getting bit dusty, because of Progettos, Borats, Shpkt, Scorpions and other great tanks. Its getting hard to squeeze it into my tank rotation.

  • @Roll_the_Bones
    @Roll_the_Bones Před 10 měsíci

    Right at the start, the Lorr. 40t, like the M4A1 Rev., is good for credits, and that's the most important thing for me, as my WR demonstrates... Don't have it, and may never, but it looks a good earner? "Let's see, shall we?"

  • @justjosh11
    @justjosh11 Před 10 měsíci

    I used to love this tank but it does feel a little overshadowed these days.
    Its a great support tank and the speed really helps it get around the place to fill in any gaps or perform a quick flank and retreat. Gun is a little derpy so its not a fantastic sniper. 6/10 would play again

  • @fireshorts5789
    @fireshorts5789 Před 10 měsíci

    This and the AMX 50 100 need some gun handling buffs and they'd probably be decent again. If you're gonna have bad gun handling and a big clip, might as well play something like a Somua and at least get some armor out of it.

    I’ll never understand why teams keep going to the beach on Overlord map. There is NO benefit to sending majority of the team there and giving up control of the map. Even if they win the beach, they now have to climb choke points to get back up while, most likely, the enemy has majority control and can just farm you climbing up. I’ve seen loss after loss caused by lemming trains to the beach.

  • @txp-tuff4358

    I bought this waaaay back when it was new'ish. At about the 6 month that it was out, I think it was just before Christmas and new tanks were coming out, it went from a 64% Win Rate (in about the first 200 battles) tank in my hands to something much less. I went from hitting and pinning 4 of 4 shots pretty consistently to maybe hitting 3 and pinning 2. It was good before the unpublished stats were changed to favor the new tanks that followed it.
    Loved it when it was blessed by WG, but generally frustrated when it fell out of favor. It seems very out classed these days.

      Uum, this tank used to be the tier 9, leading to the Bat-Chat 25t, but at some point (maybe in 2015-2016) got replaced by the B-C 25t AP and then Lorraine became a premium tier 8 (what a surprise). So it was technically never *new*.

    Lorr 40t is one of my best win-rate tier 8s I've got. Maintaining around 62% playing nothing but solo. I don't like spamming gold like all these toxic-ass tryhards on NA server do, so the 232 standard pen is a blessing. The gun handling is kinda meh at times, but other than that I don't mind playing it. Honestly I prefer it more than my Borrat. I struggle to keep around a 56% WR in my Borrat. To me the gun handling on the Borrat is worse than the Lorr 40t, at least it is in my experience. And since I hate spamming gold, that's also another reason why I don't like playing the Borrat.
    One other thing, with the Lorr 40t, and any autoloader I have, I don't EVER bother loading any high explosive shells. HE has been so horribly nerfed that to me, wasting 4-6 seconds on an intuition switch to try getting a full clip off a lightly-armored TD or light tank is pointless, especially when HE doesn't always pen even THOSE tanks. I'd rather just dump the AP or APCR mag into them and go reload. At least then, if I bounce then I bounce, but if I pen, I'll be doing full damage and none of these 19 - 23 - 412 - 0 clips I've seen with HE.
    EDIT: I play my Lorr 40t like a tank destroyer for the first part of the match, conserving as much of my health as I can for use in the late game where I can go all-in and dumpster wounded tanks. I can empty the whole clip, send them to the garage, and only take 1 or 2 hits back.

I have a 7 skill crew with bond equipment geared towards speed/vision and some camo. Like that, it is actually not bad. Fckn as fast as a wheeled with a way better gun. But if you don't have an extreme setup like me, it is sht. But like mine, I actually LOVE IT!

    Its in a better place then when it was a T9 at least, and when its T8 max MM, its a truly delightful tank. But, once T9+ armor comes into play along w/ the VR disparity comes into play where EVERY tank has 445m VR, this tank just struggles. Yeah it can sometimes shine, but I felt great getting a 2.5-3k combined game while working on my marks. Its perfectly average, but theres just too many other tanks that offer more comfort in the same role (Hello, Prog 46)
