Description
The Eland 90 Mk.7 is a rank British light tank with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Ixwa Strike".
The Eland 90 Mk.7 is a light reconnaissance armoured car, built in 1962 by South Africa as a domestic variant of the French armoured car, the Panhard AML-90.
While the diminutive size and unpretentious look can be deceiving, this armoured car is sure to be one of the most agreeable light vehicles in the British ground forces. This combination of a remarkably mobile and small chassis plus satisfactory firepower is otherwise rarely found in British light vehicles; similarly to the reliable Crusader III and equal to the uncommon AEC Mk.II.
Meanwhile, Eland's weak armour is a problem for survival thus players will have to rely on flanking, scouting or ambushing tactics when engaging heavier armour.
General info
Survivability and armour
Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

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:
- Good mobility and acceleration with a dynamic reverse speed, even when stock
- Small size; perfect for ambushes
- 90 mm HEATFS provides great penetration; even more than the APDS found on the similarly ranked FV4202
- Smoke shells and smoke grenades to enhanced protection and support role
- More lenient playstyle than the previous Ratel IFVs, thanks to reduced size while conserving firepower and mobility
- Small size significantly reduces probability of overpressure death via artillery (unlike on the Ratel 90 and 20)
- APHE(C/BC/CBC) rounds often do not meet the threshold for fuse sensitivity, often leading to over-penetration
- It is essentially a slightly better AML-90 - it has hydraulic brakes which allow for much needed reduction to braking distance
Cons:
- As a light wheeled vehicle, it has an unstable handling at high speed
- Its thin armour means it is easily destroyed by any calibre bigger than a heavy machine gun, making it particularly vulnerable to aircraft
- No stabilizer; the vehicle cannot effectively use the speed and firepower at the same time
- HEATFS damage is unreliable in some situations; the sensitivity of the fuse is the main concern
- Only 3 crew members and ammo tightly storage within, likely to be disabled in a single hit
- Wide turning radius (cannot turn on the spot due to lack of tracks)
- Awful handling off-road, especially on snow and desert maps like Tunisia or Finland
- Prior to researching "Brake System" modification it suffers insufficient braking power, amplified by the high power-to-weight ratio
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
