Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good burst damage and very quick shell cycling
- Decently quick magazine reload
- Very good gun handling for a French autoloader
- High top speed and acceleration
- Small size and outstanding camouflage, good view range
Cons:
- Low hitpoint pool and no armor, fragile engine and fuel tanks
- Bad accuracy and horrible aim time, fires faster than it can aim
- Sluggish hull traverse and bad ground resistance which is prominent on soft and wet terrains
- Limited gun depression and elevation
- Hated by lots of players, priority target for many
Performance
Looking at its characteristics, this seems like a medium-light hybrid. Picture a stock B-C 12t hull mated with the EBR 105's turret. The combination of low armour, long aiming time and poor accuracy disparage fighting at a distance, forcing you to come almost at point-blank, similar to the T49.
Although you can finish off low HP enemies with a 720 HP burst with a double-tap, you must factor in low-rolls and lowish penetration, which won't do you any favours. It is recommended to plan your way out before entering in a hit-and-run strike, something this vehicle seems to be geared for.
Ridge-fighting is also not recommended due to limited depression but with a low profile and high camo rating (with skills and paint), playing like a passive spotter is very much viable. Keep in mind, however, you are in a medium tank, despite having hull and turret of two lights: moving will reduce your camo values which, although are still quite high, it might be enough to have you spotted and killed very easily.
It's recommended to train your driver for Off-Road Driving. This has two effects: it increases the very poor hull traverse AND decreases ground resistance, which you'll need it to leave dire situations you are likely to encounter in the tight, HT-friendly maps in rotation.
Finally, you might also want to consider Automatic Fire Extinguishers over crew food as the B-C 12t chassis the Bourrasque is based on is prone to engine fires.
Suggested Equipment
The Bourrasque has several viable equipment setupsof which usually are one of these:
Vents/Vertical Stabilizer/Optics
Rotation Mechanism/Vertical Stabilizer/Optics
Bounty Aiming/Vertical Stabilizer/Optics
It is important to note that if one has BIARecon and Situational awarenessand is running foodoptics can be switched for vents.

History for this tank not found
Historical Accuracy Errata
This tank is a complete fabrication, while it shared a turret with Panhard EBR 105, it is actually a Panhard ERC's turret, which were never fitted with 105mm gun. Note that the B-C 12t project (which is the basis of this tank) were cancelled long before the Panhard EBR was developed.
