Tank description:

The Lorraine 155 mle. 51 is a French tier 8 self-propelled gun.Developed in 1951 based on the Lorraine 40 t and featured a 155-mm howitzer. The prototype passed trials simultaneously with the tank, but the Lorraine 40 t did not see service, and the SPG project was discontinued as well.This SPG is excellent example of most of the French artillery line. It carries one of the least damaging guns of its class and tier; however, that weakness is mitigated by a better rate of fire, accuracy, and aim time compared to others SPGs of its tier. Though unimpressive, the 155 51 still carries enough firepower to perform 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 Lorraine 155 mle. 51 leads to the Bat.-Châtillon 155 55.
