Supertest:- Hotchkiss EBR Tier VII
The Tier VII French wheeled armored car rolls onto the Supertest. We’re going to check how well balanced its stats are, and also to continue battle-testing the new game mechanics. When we’re through, we’ll decide on the release set of game mechanics and the finalization of the entire wheeled vehicle mini-branch.
The Hotchkiss EBR is a ‘transitional’ vehicle introducing the players to the gameplay peculiarities of the top-tier wheeled armored cars. It doesn’t have the two driving modes like them, but it does have the Charge ability and the special ‘magnet’ lock-on feature. The 75-mm gun is autoloading. The dynamics and maneuverability of the Hotchkiss EBR are worse than those of Tier VIII–X vehicles, and the absence of their Drive (fast) results in a lesser top speed. Depending on test results, the stats of the Hotchkiss EBR may change.

god the view range is bad, but yall gotta realize that if the view range is too good, then wheeled vehicles make regular light tanks completely pointless. they struggle enough outside of tier 9 and 10 LTs as it is
Then perhaps both the current light tanks and these new wheeled light tanks all need some view range buffs. In the current meta that so heavily favors armor, corridor brawling, and high firepower, it would only do good for the entire light class to be given a revival.
They all need a mobility nerf
@Jerry
Do you mean the light tanks? Or everything else?
The view range is just good enough that if you focus everything on viewrange, you can still do well
310 m viewrange to spot campers with who are behind trees and bushlines.. good luck. you will drive in to tds before you see them.
this is stupid. barely faster than a light tank at 70 km and most maps are corridors anyway so yeah again GL with this.
