The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Ground Breaking"]].

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.

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) is a fast light tank perfect for flanking and capturing points. In open maps, try to be the first in flanking points. Its low muzzle velocity and poor accuracy make its canon unreliable above 600 m. If attacked frontally, try to outspeed or outmanoeuvre your enemy. If immobilised, try to shoot the enemy's canon or weak points. In rural and urban combat, your only strategy will be to flank otherwise you'll not be able to penetrate medium and heavy tanks at this BR. Its weak armour can't resist .50 cal HMGs from the sides so be careful against M18s and Shermans. When threatened by multiple enemies, use the smoke to cover your retreat and do not engage them even if it's to destroy a track or taking an easy shot.

Description

The Panhard Engin Blindé de Reconnaissance (E.B.R.) Modèle 1951 is the first variant of the 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.

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 E.B.R 1951 is not intended to engage in direct combat with heavy tanks or powerful anti-tank weaponry.

While the armor is not very thick, the tank compensates for its vulnerability by relying on its excellent speed and agility to avoid enemy fire. Its speed and maneuverability make it a difficult target for slower tanks and artillery, allowing the E.B.R 1951 to employ hit-and-run tactics effectively.

Notes:

  • Rack 7 is a first-stage ammo rack. It totals 18 shells which will get replenished over time when not interrupted by firing.
    • The restocking time is longer than the normal reload time of the gun (about 12 seconds).
  • Shells are modelled individually and disappear after having being fired or loaded.
  • Hull empty: 19 (+41) shells.

Usage in battles

The E.B.R (1951) is a fast light tank perfect for flanking and capturing points. In open maps, try to be the first in flanking points. Its low muzzle velocity and poor accuracy make its canon unreliable above 600 m. If attacked frontally, try to outspeed or outmanoeuvre your enemy. If immobilised, try to shoot the enemy's canon or weak points. In rural and urban combat, your only strategy will be to flank otherwise you'll not be able to penetrate medium and heavy tanks at this BR. Its weak armour can't resist .50 cal HMGs from the sides so be careful against M18s and Shermans. When threatened by multiple enemies, use the smoke to cover your retreat and do not engage them even if it's to destroy a track or taking an easy shot.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Extremely fast on road, both forward and backwards like the Sd.Kfz.234
  • Fast turret traverse of ~25°/s allows it to engage agile targets like 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:

  • 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
  • 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

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).
