Usage in battles

This wheeled light tank is very fast, a feature which is very useful for flanking manoeuvres. The EBR also excels in overextending tactics, as it drives forwards and backwards at the same speed. You have to be watchful of enemy tanks, as the EBR has very little armor. Additionally this tank has the ability to spot enemy vehicles, what can make this tank useful even on a higher BR.

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
  • 75 mm M61 shell has great penetration and explosive filler. Can knock out common tanks like Pz.IV H, M4A3, T-34-57, etc. with a single shot
  • 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
  • Frontal armour is entirely capable of shrugging off .50 cals

Cons:

  • Relies on roads heavily as mobility on loose surfaces is quite poor
  • Thin side armour can be penetrated by anything more powerful than .30 cals: heavy MGs and autocannons (e.g. M16 MGMC, Wirbelwind) are considerably dangerous
  • 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
  • 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
