 * Extremely fast on road, both forward and backwards like the [[Sd.Kfz.234 (Family)|Sd.Kfz.234]]
 * Fast turret traverse of ~25°/s allows it to engage agile targets like [[M18 Hellcat (Family)|M18]] easily
 * Has a narrow and low silhouette, easy to hide behind vegetation and cover
 * High reverse speed and access to smoke grenade launchers grant it excellent tactical agility, meaning that the EBR can get out of dangerous situations quickly
 * Capable of quick retreat and movement even with the loss of a wheel
 '''Cons:'''
@@ Line 143: / Line 141: @@
 * Relies on roads heavily as mobility on loose surfaces is quite poor
 * Overall poor survivability due to thin overall armour, the fuel tanks in particular is prone to exploding when being hit
 * Steering radius is quite large, navigation in confined environment can be awkward
-* M61 shell cannot reliably penetrate tanks like [[StuG III G]], [[T14]], [[KV-1E]]
+* 75 mm gun has poor penetration values, thus rely heavily on flanking to better chance to deal damage
 * Wheels are large and spread out, can get damaged easily

-The '''Panhard Engin Blindé de Reconnaissance (E.B.R.) Modèle 1951''' is the first variant of the [[E.B.R. (Family)|Panhard E.B.R. armoured car family]]. In general, the Panhard E.B.R. armoured car is an 8x8 wheeled armoured car built on the basis of the previous Panhard AM 40 P/Model 201, an armoured car born before World War II but only at the prototype level. All variants of the Panhard E.B.R. armoured car family are powered by a 200 horsepower 6 litre 12HD horizontally opposed air-cooled 12-cylinder engine (with dual carburettors and 6.6:1 compression, allowing it to run on low-octane petrol) and had a crew of four: two drivers (front and rear), and a gunner and a commander, both sitting in the oscillating turret. The engine was located beneath the fighting compartment's floor, which necessitated the removal of the turret in order to perform extensive engine repairs. The Panhard E.B.R. Modèle 1951 was the first mass-produced variant, with around 836 units manufactured between 1951 and 1954. The main armament is a 75 mm SA 49 tank gun that was manually loaded and mounted in a round-shaped FL 11 oscillating turret. The ammunition and ballistics of the US Army 75 mm M3 and M6 tank guns were shared by the SA 49 tank gun.

All variants of the Panhard E.B.R. armoured car family are powered by a 200 horsepower 6 litre 12HD horizontally opposed air-cooled 12-cylinder engine (with dual carburettors and 6.6:1 compression, allowing it to run on low-octane petrol) and had a crew of four: two drivers (front and rear), and a gunner and a commander, both sitting in the oscillating turret.

-Introduced in [[Update "Ground Breaking"]], the Panhard E.B.R. Modèle 1951 is a fast and agile light tank that is suited for flanking and capturing zones. On open maps, try to be the first to reach the flanking positions. Due to its low muzzle velocity and poor accuracy, its primary armament is unreliable across long distances. If you are attacked from the front, simply retreat or outmanoeuvre your opponent. Never engage in a frontal assault on an enemy or exchange shots with multiple opponents at the same time. Use your superior mobility and high speed to sneak across the maps and ambush isolated enemies in combat. Its thin armour is not able to withstand even a heavy machine gun. When confronted with multiple opponents, use smoke to conceal your retreat.

-The E.B.R 1951's armor is primarily designed to protect against small-caliber machine gun fire and shell fragments. Its hull and turret are made of welded steel plates, providing reasonable protection against low-caliber machine guns and light artillery fire. However, it should be noted that the Ebr 1951 is not intended to engage in direct combat with heavy tanks or powerful anti-tank weaponry.

-While the armor is not particularly thick, the tank compensates for its vulnerability by relying on its excellent speed and agility to avoid enemy fire.
