Lorraine 40t Review/Guide, How to Play Squishy Autoloaders

Описание: I review the Lorraine 40t, a tier 8 French premium medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 10 Siegfried Line and Tundra battles.

I also discuss how to correctly play autoloaders that have poor armor. Autoloaders are powerful in late-game situations, but to carry late you have to manage your HP carefully through the early-to-mid phases while still keeping your gun active.

The Lorr 40t has been my most consistent tier 8 premium tank. Through 112 battles I averaged 66% WR, 2149 damage, 1.87 kills, and 1.56 spots. Its mechanics are sound and it performs its role effectively, so it is worth it IMO to purchase this premium.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Superb AP penetration (232)
Superb top speed (60)
Excellent gun depression (-8)
Excellent alpha (300)

Soft turret
Soft hull armor
Tall profile
Low HP (1300)
Low view range (380 base), requires BIA + Situational Awareness to get to 445m
Below average accuracy (0.38 base)

Recommended Equipment
1. Optics

3. Vents

This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
