{{tankMobility|abMinHp=310|rbMinHp=177}}

The E.B.R. (1954) can reach 105 km/h on roads, 60 km/h on dirt tracks and 40 km/h in cross country. Soft terrain is a handicap: mud, snow and sand will considerably slow the armoured car. As a wheeled vehicle, it can't turn on the spot but the turn radius stays relatively small thanks to front and rear steering wheels. The reverse speed is also very high, a must to get out of hot situations quickly.

== Usage in battles ==

The EBR can be used as a long range sniper and as a scout thanks to its good optics and fast shell speed, or it can be used as an aggressive flanking vehicle using its superior mobility and reload rate.

The EBR best preforms on the sidelines of the enemy team, using its autoloader and high velocity gun to eliminate any opposition. The lack of explosive filler for the shell makes aiming at crew positions and critical modules important, prioritizing the gun or ammo rack of the target. Thanks to the autoloader and fast turret rotation, it is easy to switch between targets on the heat of combat, and the smoke pods allow for a quick escape if the situation gets too difficult.

;Enemies worth keeping

* [[Tiger I (Family)|Tiger I]] and [[Panzer V Panther (Family)|Panther I]]: Sitting at the same BR, these targets can prove to be difficult. Flanking them and shooting their weakly armoured sides is advised, but in case of a face to face encounter, shooting the right side (from the players point of view) of the Panther's mantlet or the right side of the Tiger's Hull will disable or destroy them. In case these shots are impossible or too risky, one can shoot the barrels, take a track out and relocate and target the side of said tanks.

* [[T26E1-1]] "Super Pershing" and [[Tiger II (H)]]: At a range larger than 200 m these targets become invulnerable to the 75 mm gun, one should side shoot them or disable their guns and tracks.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Fast and very mobile vehicle
* The main gun reloads in 5 seconds even with 2 active crew members and the autoloader has a capacity of 12 rounds.
* The shells have a very high muzzle velocity and, despite the lack of explosive filler, deal a lot of damage.
* Both the front and back wheels steer, resulting in a pretty small turning radius.
* The hull armour, in the front (and back), is enough to stop .50 cal AP fire, as well as 14.5 mm AP-I(c) from 200 meters or more; the turret front may be even able to stop some autocannon fire.
* As this vehicle is an armoured car, scouting is available.
* APC shell with a very high penetration of 182 mm at 10 m, able to easily penetrate most vehicles that are faced.

'''Cons:'''

* Due to its shape, a penetration in the front (or back) by any actual tank cannon will mean losing the vehicle.
* The 7° gun depression is far from optimal for players that want to shoot from an hull down position.
* The massive radio antennas will make you visible even when the rest of the vehicle is hidden behind a hill or small building.
* Very easy to spot and recognize from the side due to its size and shape; in addition, the side armour won't really stop anything more than small calibre machine gun fire.
* The roof of the turret is thin, making it vulnerable to airborne attacks.
* Very slow when moving in soft terrain (mud, snow, sand).
* High risk of ammunition explosion if the turret is penetrated, thanks to the large first-stage ammo rack behind the cannon.

== History ==


=== [[wt:en/news/7000-development-e-b-r-1954-en|Devblog]] ===
Before the outbreak of World War II, Panhard created a prototype of an 8x8 army wheeled all-terrain vehicle, with the first and last swivel wheel pairs having rubber tires, the middle pairs were metal and not swivel. The army placed an order for the production of 600 of these vehicles, but the outbreak of the war and the occupation of France did not allow the vehicle to be put into production. They returned to an interesting project after the war - the wheelbase received an oscillating turret with a 75 mm gun, which turned the all-terrain vehicle into a light wheeled tank. Later, the base of this vehicle became the basis for several curious army vehicles. It is interesting that it was the Panhard all-terrain vehicle that served as a carriage for the farewell ceremony for the President of the Fifth Republic, General Charles de Gaulle.

== Usage in battles ==

The 1963 variant of the EBR, similar to its [[E.B.R. (1954)|elder brother]], is an excellent scout and flanking vehicle due to its good speed and gun handling.

Compared to its older brother, it becomes harder to use at range due to the lower velocity gun (750m/s) alongside the higher drop rate, it also is unable to engage multiple enemies simultaneously due to the lack of an autoloader, meaning that if the loader gets hurt or incapacitated the reload rate will be reduced. To compensate from these setbacks, it gets access to a HEATFS round capable of penetrating the great majority of enemy vehicles it will face from the front, reducing the chances of running into a vehicle that you are unable to penetrate. It is worth noting that the 90mm HEATFS has comparably less post pen damage than the 75mm solid shot shells, even though its a bigger caliber shell, so aiming for weak spots, ammo racks and crew members becomes even more important, as well as the need to take in mind foliage, spaced armor and the chances of the shell being "caught" by external parts of the tank such as sprockets and tracks, which will detonate the shell prematurely diminishing or eliminating any potential damage dealt to the enemy.

Due to the change in muzzle velocity, post pen damage and shell type, the EBR 1963 is best used in close quarters, hit and run tactics, and as a scout vehicle similar to a more maneuverable [[AML-90]]. Staying on the sidelines of the enemies is highly advised.

'''Enemies worth keeping:'''

[[Marder A1-]]/[[Marder 1A3|1A3]]: Armed with an automatic 20mm autocannon with high fire rate, this IFV can easily mow down the EBR if caught off guard, the later variant armed with APDS capable of going through its turret with ease. The Milan ATGMs will easily overpressure the EBR, sending you to the hangar screen

[[BMP-1]]/[[SPz BMP-1]]: The ATGM will overpressure the EBR, and the 73mm cannon has a shorter reload rate, meaning that it can shoot you twice before you complete the reload.

[[Eland 90 Mk.7|Eland 90]]: Virtually the same as the allied AML-90, you might encounter this vehicle on the same flanks you would want to be due to similar playstyles, armed with the same gun as you, being on the lookout for these sneaky vehicles is advised.

[[Centurion (Family)|Centurions]]: Fully stabilized, being caught in the move against such vehicles will most likely result in losing the battle.

SPAA vehicles: Any SPAA vehicle armed with 20mm autocannons and higher caliber are to be dealt with caution, since they will be able to mow you down before you even set your sights on target. Special caution is to be placed to SPAAs wielding 40mm Bofors and the ZSU-57-2, since they have short reload rates and can remove the EBR in a couple of shots.

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* Fast and very mobile vehicle
* HEATFS round has high penetration values

* Both the front and back wheels steer, resulting in a pretty small turning radius.

* The hull armour, in the front (and back), is enough to stop .50 cal AP fire, as well as 14.5 mm AP-I(c) from 200 meters or more; the turret front may be even able to stop some autocannon fire.
* Access to scouting due to being a light vehicle
* Rank IV Premium, able to research up to Rank V

*

'''Cons:'''

* Due to its shape, a penetration in the front (or back) by any actual tank cannon will mean losing the vehicle.

* The massive radio antennas will make you visible even when the rest of the vehicle is hidden behind a hill or small building.

* Very easy to spot and recognize from the side due to its size and shape; in addition, the side armour won't really stop anything more than small calibre machine gun fire.
* The roof of the turret is thin, making it vulnerable to airborne attacks.
* Very slow when moving in soft terrain (mud, snow, sand).
* High risk of ammunition explosion if the hull is penetrated, thanks to the large ammo rack in the middle of the vehicle.
* Below average post-pen damage due to the low caliber HEATFS round

It is interesting that it was the Panhard all-terrain vehicle that served as a carriage for the farewell ceremony for the President of the Fifth Republic, General Charles de Gaulle.

The 75mm APC rounds had problems with the penetration of particularly tough targets from the front, and the Soviet heavy tanks or German self-propelled guns of the late period of the war remained a difficult target for the French car. The Model E.B.R. (1963) retains most of the the positive features of the earlier version and offers the commanders a new, more powerful 90 mm gun with HEATFS shells as the main means of destruction of armored vehicles.

== Usage in battles ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' can be used as a long range sniper and scout thanks to its good optics and fast shell speed, or it can be used as an aggressive flanking vehicle using its superior mobility and reload rate.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' best preforms on the sidelines of the enemy team, using its autoloader and high velocity gun to disable or eliminate any opposition. Due to the lack of explosives on the shell makes aiming for important mass necessary, prioritizing the gun or ammo rack of the target. Thanks to the autoloader and fast turret rotation it is easy to switch targets on the heat of combat, and the smoke pods allow for a quick escape if the situation gets too dificult.

Enemies worth keeping in mind are:
* Tiger H1/E and Panthers: Sitting at the same BR, these targets can prove to be difficult. Flanking them and shooting their weakly armored sides is adviced, but in case of a face to face encounter, shooting the right side (from the players point of view) of the panthers manlet or the right side of the Tigers Hull will disable or destroy them. In case of said shoots being impossible or too risky, one can shoot the barrels, take a track out and push the side of said tanks

* Super Pershing and Tiger II(H): At a range larger than 200m these targets become invulnerable to the 75mm gun, one should side shoot them or disable their guns and tracks.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Fast, it can reach 105 km/h in RB and deals relatively well with off-road terrain, even in reverse.
* The main gun reloads in 5 seconds even with 2 active crew members and the autoloader has a capacity of 12 rounds.
* The shells have a very high muzzle velocity (1,000 m/s for APC) and, despite the lack of explosive filler, deal a lot of damage.
* Both the front and back wheels steer, resulting in a pretty small turning radius.
* The hull armour, in the front (and back), is enough to stop .50 cal AP fire, as well as 14.5 mm AP-I(c) from 200 meters or more; the turret front may be even able to stop some autocannon fire.
* As this vehicle is an armoured car, scouting is available.
* APC shell with a very high penetration of 182 mm at 10 m, able to easily penetrate most vehicles that are faced.

'''Cons:'''

* Due to its shape, a penetration in the front (or back) by any actual tank cannon will mean losing the vehicle.
* The 7° gun depression is far from optimal for players that want to shoot from an hull down position.
* The massive radio antennas will make you visible even when the rest of the vehicle is hidden behind a hill or small building.
* Very easy to spot and recognize from the side due to its size and shape; in addition, the side armour (15 mm) won't really stop anything more than small calibre machine gun fire.
* The roof of the turret, right above the crew and autoloader drums, is 10 mm thick, making it vulnerable to airborne attacks.
* May have some difficulty climbing hills without a running start.
* Very slow when moving in mud.
* High risk of ammunition explosion if the turret is penetrated, thanks to the large first-stage ammo rack behind the cannon.
* Very slow acceleration (compared to other wheeled vehicles with similar HP/ton) and very poor crossing capabilities.
* Not very mobile off-road, indeed, bar dirt tracks and concrete roads, you'll travel at around 35 km/h most of the time which is pretty low compared to other wheeled vehicles and some tracked vehicles such as [[T-34-57]] and [[M18 GMC]] that will have no difficulty outrunning you in a straight line, especially from a standing start. This is partially recovered by the fact that, being a wheeled vehicle, the EBR does not lose much speed in turns.
* Hated vehicle. People will focus it over other vehicles.

== History ==


=== [[wt:en/news/7000-development-e-b-r-1954-en|Devblog]] ===
Before the outbreak of World War II, Panhard created a prototype of an 8x8 army wheeled all-terrain vehicle, with the first and last swivel wheel pairs having rubber tires, the middle pairs were metal and not swivel. The army placed an order for the production of 600 of these vehicles, but the outbreak of the war and the occupation of France did not allow the vehicle to be put into production. They returned to an interesting project after the war - the wheelbase received an oscillating turret with a 75 mm gun, which turned the all-terrain vehicle into a light wheeled tank. Later, the base of this vehicle became the basis for several curious army vehicles. It is interesting that it was the Panhard all-terrain vehicle that served as a carriage for the farewell ceremony for the President of the Fifth Republic, General Charles de Gaulle.
