The vehicles of this type saw service in the French army from 1943 through 1944. In 1944, 36 vehicles of Régiment colonial de chasseurs de chars under the supervision of Silvère Seurat, a naval artillery engineer, featured naval gun sights that allowed for increasing the firing range to 3,000 meters. The famous French actor Jean Gabin (born Jean-Alexis Moncorgé) saw action as a commander of this tank destroyer.
