the problem with the ebr is, that if a noob drives it your team is set up to fail. If a somewhat good player is sitting behind the monitor your team all of a sudden has an extremely high chance of winning. The two extremes are just so far appart.
I think the magically disappearing bullet hits and magical bounces are still the biggest gripes on this tank. If those will be gone then maybe people can finally call this "tank" balance
Exactly! The magic unobtanium wheels essentially triple the effective HP of a tank that is quite hard to hit. With the aiming mechanics of high-alpha guns someone with a 75%+ hit rate is going to be more like 40-50% hit rate on a good day. Then there is about a 50% chance it will do zero damage ("How is that fair?" iyouxin) Simply making the wheels more fragile and treating them as thin spaced armor there would be fewer cases of them shrugging off 152mm shells without consequence.
@@runmarkrunheinrich not that i am defending EBR, no i am not, but if you do 0 dam on wheels, it is because you are not hitting the hull behind it, shell goes through the wheel, but not into the hull. same thing with tracked tanks, but of course, they are not driving 90km/h doing a U-turn:)
@@ottrakkaselg8033 Well yes, but put yourself in a casement TD. Trying to traverse far enough ahead of one to bring the bloom down to a 20 meter circle, lead by about 3 tank lengths and hope they don't turn 90 degrees after you fire. Then when they are close you're shotgunning and their relative motion challenges network latency.
@@runmarkrunheinrich no arguments against it, i agree. but my point still stands. wheels are not magic, they are just big and not much hull behind them. if the tanks would be balanced, that emptiness behind the wheels would be fine. but now, as it is, EBR is just stupid all over the place.
@@ottrakkaselg8033 The magic part is that they can still go 90 km/h after a wheel gets blasted with a 152mm shell without burning up the other tires or tearing up the transmission.
This is what happens when you put an ( occasionally ) OP light tank in the hands of a really skilled player. I have the EBR myself but seldom play it because of the stress it causes to the driver
the best way to balance this tank would be to give it the same physics as non-wheeled tanks. almost every game an ebr will take a jump or a hit a slight bump at 90 km/h and somehow not flip yet you tak that same jump at 60 km/h in a normal light and you flip and die
You’re lucky to even get 1k assistance that early 😂 I usually get no support so I learned to play for the long game instead and average 7-12k combined if I survive
a good way to balance this is to give it gunhandeling like a heavie or most other lights. And especially during driving. Like make it as big as the screen so that you really only have a chance to hit if you are very near them.
In the eyes of WG this tank is balanced simple because if one side have an EBR the other side must also have one, thus making it balanced. They dont take into accout that there is some EBR players much, much better than others, and at times its like just one side have an EBR.
i dont think wg can nerf this tank much more, as average players also need to play the tank and still somewhat perform, and the winrate across all tier 10 lights arent big enough to warrant a nerf, imo. i can say this in confidence as i have over 1k battles in the ebr 105 edit: redshire is one of the best maps for this tank because of the middle ridge, live oaks is also very good for this tank. imo prokhorovka is better suited for the other light tanks because they have way better view range than the ebr
Today I played with my friend, him sitting in an ebr spotting for me in the e50 m on live oaks. While spotting he got pushed by 2 foch 155 in a platoon and they both missed all three shots in close combat xD.
I mean, if you want to play the game there's lots of fun in it. If you didn't try Japanese TDs you should. Chi-to SP is insane. Check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HLRQGNMpkb0.html
Adding EBR to the game was a huge mistake by Wargaming and I'm sure it caused the biggest exodus of gamers then. Every game's mechanics, map design, spotting system and physics weren't ready for French wheelies. And there are still issues with this. I believe WG knows about it that's why they didn't add other wheeled light tanks. They could probably add a branch for every nation because these vehicles were popular in real life but they added only mediocre medium British wheels.
you guys are just crying over nothing.. it is so freakin rare that a ebr really matters in a game.. yeah it may make u rage then and there but over all i really dont understand the hate..
Imagine what you need to do with other LTs in order to get this kind of score in this specific battle. I can describe this as "thoughtlessly running around the battlefield, get tons of assist dmg, take some shots,... There's nothing left to do." Of course you need to be good to perform well with any tank. But this car requires a lot less effort. You just need to get used to this car, because it can make 180 turns ignoring physics XDDD This car is not as broken as it was. But still, it damages the game heavily.
iyouxin I hope you don't mind. This is what I am prepared to testify on your behalf, when you appear in traffic court for the release of this video. Your Honour iyouxin is young. He is happy. He has a Fiancé. He listens to loud Japanese hero music. Yes the EBR in question? May have been operated in a matter that one might think that the vehicle was stolen. I assure that he had permission to borrow the vehicle. No.... He does not read text messages from his fans and friends while driving. Yes I know he covered a distance of 8.74 in 7.6 minutes. his average speed for this time duration your honour was only 74 Kmh. No your honour there was no damages to the EBR. iyouxin. I hope you let your Fiancé drive you around. May I suggest that you use public transport for the benefit and safety of everyone else you may encounter while traveling. That was a lot of fun watching you have today.
Ebr has taken more away from the game then added. It added money to wg pockets but the game had little benefit. We had the rodent arty and then they nerfed arty to appease the general population only to replace it with a 90 KM tank were most turrets can’t keep up when a average to close distance is applied . I maybe my own opinion but I don’t think it is.
its clear that game engine cant handle vehicles moving this fast... and I am not supriced this game started with tanks moving 30km/h max and everything was okey, but now 90km/h tank racing around battlefield, slowest tank cant even move from spawn and they are spotted already, not to mention the amount of ghost shells shot at EBRs...
I don`t know if it`s me... or the runs in the river looks like slideshow with 5 fps? Is it some render problem, or luck of it? and EBR is a crazy machine!!!
Iyouxin, you might never read this. But at this point im time I'm watching this to distract myself from the awful fact that my girlfriend might be showing tendencies of cheating on me. I don't want to let my head run rampant at this time. I thank you for your upbeat distractions, a lot. It's hard times over here. I love her man.
It's sucks man, I can't imagine how you feel. You know, personally myself I always wanted to have 1 girl for my whole life. So if someone I love would actually be cheating on me I would be happy. I don't want to deal with someone who don't appreciate my loyalty. And it's for the better that she is showing her nature this early. God bless you man and I hope it's just your fears. But if she is not faithful let her go and work on yourself. Prepare your mind and body for the Queen out there who deserved to be with a man such as yourself. If you want to talk more , please feel free to write me on discord
It's disgusting how underperforming this thing is. WG, please buff its speed and agility URGENTLY! And while you're at it, do something about that obnoxious gun handling on the move. Still having to aim more or less in the general direction of the enemy just doesn't cut it.
And I will die on the this hill - EBRs are worse for the game than arty. They just make it a complete arcade experience as shown by your good self. At least with arty it is somewhat predictable, their location, their killing fields etc and is shown when they fire (with quite a clear trace so blind firing is very possible) so you know you have a period of X seconds to perform an action before the arty is ready to fire again. EBRs are pure random zooming, whilst being able to lock on and shoot you, and 50%+ of the time when you hit them it does no damage. Literally cannot stand them!
You can't say they are "better" than other Lights, because they are a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT Playstyle.... and so when playing against them you should "adjust" your playstyle. That's like saying "heavy's" are better than Lights. Normal lights also do lots of "spotting damage" so how did you have a "special" game? Now, doesn't mean they likely shouldn't be adjusted, they should. Reduce the "bouncing" against them. Give the Auto-Aim to ALL tanks of the game, the games sucks. And buff the "speeds" and "accuracy" of other tanks, namely remove the Nerfs due to the Physics added to the game and the Round Placement Nerf.
