The Lorraine 37L Antichar is a French experimental tank destroyer, hastily developed during the Invasion of France as a stopgap measure in an effort to boost the strength of the army. In the upcoming major update, tankers may look forward to the arrival of the Lorraine 37L to the lower ranks of the French ground forces tree in War Thunder!
Briefly: An experimental French tank destroyer based on the Lorraine 37L tractor, fitted with a powerful 47mm anti-tank cannon.
Lorraine 37L Antichar, tank destroyer, France, I rank.
Pros
- Powerful cannon
- High rate of fire
- Small profile
Cons
- Average mobility
- Poor protection
During the German invasion of France in mid 1940, the French army suffered heavy losses, especially when it came to its armoured vehicles. As a result, several urgent attempts were made to create improvised combat vehicles from resources available to French engineers in order to bolster the strength of the army, which faced a seemingly unstoppable invasion.
One of these projects was the conversion of the Lorraine 37L tractor into a tank destroyer by fitting it with a 47 mm SA37 anti-tank gun. The conversion took little time, with the prototype being ready in just a few weeks, however by the time construction was completed, France had already fallen. As a result, the prototype never saw combat action and was instead captured by German forces following the occupation.
Outfitted with an excellent anti-tank cannon, and featuring a small profile, the Lorraine 37L has all the right traits of a deadly tank hunter and will undoubtedly become the bane of many tankers in low ranked battles.
The Lorraine 37L is armed with a 47 mm SA37 anti-tank cannon, capable of traversing 34 degrees to either side of the vehicle’s horizontal axis. Unlike other 47 mm cannons most familiar to French tankers, the SA37 cannon features vastly better ballistic properties, possessing a higher muzzle velocity and penetration capability. In fact, its AP rounds can punch through 94mm of armour at close range - more than enough to knock out most of the opposition this vehicle will face in battle.
In addition, having an open fighting compartment allows the Lorraine 37L’s crew to comfortably operate the cannon, resulting in an excellent reload rate of just 4s! However, the open fighting compartment doesn’t just give the vehicle’s crew a lot of freedom to operate in - the same applies to the gun itself. The cannon possesses fairly good vertical firing angles too, ranging from -13 to 16.5 degrees. As a result, tankers can effectively utilise uneven terrain to further conceal their small vehicle while still being able to send rounds down range.
Fun Fact: The reliable chassis of the Lorraine 37L tractor led to the creation of several German conversions of the vehicle, ranging from tank destroyers, over SPGs to observer vehicles.
However, while its open fighting compartment does bring with it several advantages, its biggest disadvantage is the protection it offers for the majority of crew housed within - namely, none. As such, the Lorraine 37L is extremely vulnerable to all types of enemy fire, especially shrapnel from artillery shelling and aircraft. Thus, tankers are best advised to keep well clear of the heat of combat as their vehicle is anything but suited for close quarter brawls!
Furthermore, being based on a tracked tractor chassis, the Lorraine 37L doesn’t exactly excel when it comes to mobility. Weighing in at 7.2 tons and being powered by a 70 hp engine, the Lorraine 37L can attain a top speed of 35 km/h. This limitation in mobility once more emphasises the Lorraine 37L’s role as a second line support vehicle, providing accurate and deadly covering fire for its allies on the frontline.

This is awesome! Please, give us more weird WWII French vehicles! Like the Conus Guns. Or the ERB prototype... :)
gib F-5 tiger pls
You obviously think on MiG-28s from Top Gun?
Stona_WT, this only means.. russian MiG-28 premium: confirmed :-)
Are we going to see the Möbelwagen for Germany?
Sounds like some IKEA thingy.
Stona_WT, Assembly required.
Please add the initial repair price to your dev blogs cause we came to a point where we need to know if we will be able to use the vehicles or not. Thks
Great! Will this also open up the possibility for the German variants to be added? The Germans made extensive use of this vehicle as a converted SPG or Self-Propelled Anti-Tank Gun. Some examples: 10.5cm leFH 18/40 auf Geschützwagen Lorraine Schlepper(f) (24 built), 15 cm sFH 13/1 (Sf) auf Geschützwagen Lorraine Schlepper(f) (102-166 built) and the 7.5 cm PaK 40 auf Sfl. Lorraine Schlepper ‘Marder I’ (Sd.KFz.135) (170-184 built).
Its good gaijin. also BC YES or NO?
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn’t from where it is, it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now the position that it wasn't,
BanditFawxo, -the system has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information that the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason,
I was decieved, we thought it was Sd.Kfz 222 or Battle Cruisers. But le tractor will do
Ok i like it but BC when?
A nice derpy start of the dovbleg season! gl gajin staff with the GiVe Me.... comments. Also consider fixing the (stock) grind and lets hope every nation gets someting nice.
Ooh! Looks like a fun vehicle! Thanks!
