Panhard EBR 90

As the successor of the Lynx 6x6, the EBR 90 comes with improved speed and agility, as well as a different silhouette. The vehicle may be fairly long still but quite slim, which you can use to your advantage.

Gameplay

Obviously, none of the wheeled vehicles has any noticeable armour, yet the Panhard EBR 90 improves that aspect of the vehicle. While it still won't deflect anything, at least it provides some protection from HE shells. You still need to rely on your top-notch camouflage value and speed to prevail in battle. With the improvements to the mobility of this vehicle, turning while in Drive Mode isn't as painful as it was for the Lynx 6x6.

Use the lock-on feature regularly, so you can concentrate on your driving.

Despite the improvements, the view range is still one of the lowest values in Tier IX. You will need to spot actively to rack up the assist damage, and that's where your mobility comes in. Spot enemy tanks early to enable your team to see where some of the enemy vehicles are going. Support medium tanks in the meantime, and don't forget to keep an eye on the minimap. If you think you found a weakness in the defence of the opposing team, try and go for it to take out vulnerable targets. 

The EBR 90's gun is pretty similar to the one of the Lynx 6x6, with minor improvements to some aspects. This includes penetration, rate of fire, stabilisation, aiming time, and accuracy. It still features high shell velocity, which makes it easier hitting targets on the move. Mind the mediocre gun depression though, as you'll need to expose yourself more than the Lynx 6x6. The HE shells still have decent penetration power, so take some with you to cripple light-armoured enemies.

Equipment

Gun performance setup View range setup

Hover your cursor over the images for more information on each piece of equipment.

This set of equipment is the easiest to use as it offers a combination of better gun performance as well as higher view range, which any wheeled vehicle desperately needs. If you feel like the stabilisation is fine as it is, consider replacing the Vertical Stabiliser with an Improved Ventilation instead to get that little extra view range and damage per minute.

Keep in mind that wheeled vehicles cannot mount a Binocular Telescope.
