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. Its speed and maneuverability make it a challenging target for slower tanks and artillery, allowing the E.B.R 1951 to employ hit-and-run tactics effectively.

Usage in battles

This wheeled light tank is extremely 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 armour.

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
