The Hotchkiss EBR is a French tier 7 light tank.
The development of this armored vehicle was part of the corresponding program approved by the military leaders in 1945. In 1949, the Hotchkiss company presented a three-axis prototype. After the trials, the project was discontinued. The prototype did not survive to the present day.
The Hotchkiss EBR leads to the Panhard AML Lynx 6x6.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Has a superb top speed of 70km/h (surpasses all other tier VII tanks and almost all tier VIIIs)
- Aim assist like other wheeled lights, wheels absorb shots sometimes
- Excellent HE pen, great to counter enemy lights, glass cannons and artillery
- High top speed allows for great circling techniques
- Excellent gun handling, aim time is on par with high tier Tank Destroyers
Cons:
- Bad turning angles
- Decreased reverse speed compared to the Panhard AMD 178B (45km/h instead of 65km/h)
- Mediocre DPM, will most likely lose trades (though HE massively improves DPM)
- Rear-mounted turret limits gun versatility
- Terrible view range means you'll easily get out-spotted
Performance
Like how all other French wheeled lights play, the Hotchkiss EBR plays as an aggressive scout, using its mobility to get to key scouting positions earlier in the game. This tank is really good for flushing out Tank Destroyers, passive scouts and Artillery, in which usually hide in well-concealed positions. The six-wheel setup does differ from players used to the Panhard AMD 168B, as your turning radius and mobility are affected. While your wheels will repair over time, having them damaged drastically reduces your mobility and agility. A tip to turn very quickly on the spot would be to use your momentum and turning without accelerating (pressing 'A' or 'D' while letting go of 'W' for a brief amount of time). Note that this only works well if you are going at fairly high speeds. The first tanks you'll likely encounter in a battle are enemy lights. With this, you can use your very high HE penetration to take away a good chunk of their hitpoints before retreating or letting your team finish them off.
Early Research
Install radio EM3/R61 first as it is the only thing that carries over from Panhard AMD 178B. Then research engine Hotchkiss V6 mle. 49, for faster speed. If you going for the more powerful Canon de 75 mm you need to research wheels first.
