Notes:
- Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
- It is recommended to go into battle with a full rack as the ammo capacity is already limited.
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Very good penetration for a 47 mm at this rank
- Excellent post-penetration damage even without HE filler, much improved over the 47 mm SA35 common to other French tanks
- Fast firing cannon
- Very good gun depression and traverse arc
- The projectile does not have any tracer component in its rounds; enemy players cannot deduce your position from the round's trajectory
Cons:
- The side and rear of the vehicle have very little armour, leaving three of the four crew members with almost no protection from artillery and incoming fire
- Mid and long-range shots difficult to correct without any tracer component in the round to visually track the round's trajectory
History
Devblog
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.
