The Panhard EBR 90 is a French tier 9 light tank.
In the early 1960s, the 75 mm caliber guns were deemed outdated. During 1963 and 1964, a total of 650 vehicles with FL 11 turrets were re-equipped with 90 mm guns to improve their firepower. The other vehicles with the same turret and "outdated" guns were removed from service in the French Army.
The Panhard EBR 90 leads to the Panhard EBR 105.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Incredible mobility -- very high speed limit and power for its little weight
- Improved overall handling compared to its predecessor, both maneuverability- and firepower-wise
- Has four axles -- harder to immobilize than previous armored cars
- Its oscillating turret and sleeker body proves to be a somewhat smaller target
- Has 40mm sloped front armor; may cause some trolly zero-damage shots
Cons:
- Oscillating turret has limited gun vertical traverse, identical to the AMX-13's
- 90mm guns become less useful due to limited penetration and unimpressive alpha damage for a tier IX
- View range is still horribly low at 330m
- Lengthy hull can be unwieldy in confined spaces or close quarters
Performance
The EBR 90 plays mostly as a combination of a passive sniper and a hyper aggressive highly mobile vehicle. In the early stages, try to stay passive - an EBR alive later in the game is extremely valuable. The combination of a very easy to use gun, very high mobility and camouflage let it perform multiple roles - it can take aggressive spotting positions and move away rapidly when the need arises. The addition of very high HE pentration lets it counter enemy light tanks well, however, ones such as the T-54 ltwt. will easily shrug its HE off and shred the EBR in return - use the HE smartly.
Late game, the EBR is very useful - provided it has sufficient hitpoints, it can wreak havoc against an unorganized team.
However, the EBR suffers from poor penetration and alpha damage, bad armor and low hitpoints as well as a pitiful view range of only 330 - despite the camouflage, you are often outspotted due to the sheer poor view range.
- The EBR 90 has been nerfed twice, once in 1.10 and twice in 1.13.
1.10: Rapid mode speed from 85/85 -> 83/83 Engine power from 580 -> 560 (Pw/t from 40 -> 38.62) 1.13: Gun handling from 0.08/0.08/0.08 -> 0.09/0.09/0.05 HE pen on both guns from 90 -> 75
Overall when played well the EBR 90 is very rewarding, but unforgiving for less experienced players.
Early Research
To begin with, this vehicle is among the ranks of those few high tier vehicles that perform great even freshly purchased; one could actually choose not to upgrade anything at all and still be able to advance into the EBR 105 with ease. That being said, it could still use these upgrades:
Suspension: The upgraded wheels, as per usual, improve turning characteristics and makes it a bit harder to immobilize. Further they are required to mount full equipment.
Engine: The Panhard 12H 6000 mle. 63 produces 80 more horsepower for an impressive five points of increased power-to-weight ratio and is required to be researched to move to the T10.
Radio: Research, if one hasn't done it on earlier vehicles.
The D. 921 gun however, can be dubious: it improves the aim time, RoF and accuracy by only a really minor amount, however at the expense of having a very slow HEAT round, and it costs 43k experience.

Service History
Portugal ordered 50 EBRs and 28 ETTs in 1956.[4] After the outbreak of the Portuguese Colonial War, most of these vehicles were sent to Lisbon's African colonies for counter-insurgency operations, especially Portuguese Mozambique. During the Carnation Revolution, an EBR 75 FL10 of the Armed Forces Movement confronted an M47 Patton crewed by loyalist troops in the Praça do Comércio. The crews of both vehicles eventually stood down without incident.
Aside from Portugal and a few newly emerging Francophone states in North Africa, the only export sales of the EBR were a few small quantities produced for the Indonesian Army and the West German Bundesgrenzschutz.*

Historical Accuracy Errata
*Turret of tier IX vehicle is incorrect. This turret was made for 1951 version, were's armed by 75mm cannon. 90 mm version using FL-12 Turret
- Vehicle in game is much slower than reality. Real top speed is 105 kph, not 65 kph.
- 90mm F3 gun is incorrect.
- HEAT round on F3 gun is missing. AP and APCR rounds are fake.
- Correct gun, 90mm F2 gun, is missing.
- F3 gun is same gun on ARL 44, and AMX M4 Mle. 1945, but penetration is inconsistent..
- Engine Panhard 12H is correct, but it's much more powerful than in real life. Real power of engine is aproximmately 147 kW (200 Bhp), 560 hp is absurd for that light vehicle.
