Tank description:
The Bat.-Châtillon 155 58 is a French tier 10 self-propelled gun.An experimental project for an SPG that used some elements of the U.S. M47 chassis. As compared to the Bat.-Châtillon 155 55, the vehicle had a different turret and featured the magazine loading system. Existed only in blueprints.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 3 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 if played carefully. 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 and the reload inside the magazine is longer then most tanks need to reload their single shot even when stunned.The Bat.-Châtillon 155 58 marks the end of its French self-propelled gun line.
