I review the Panhard EBR 105, a tier 10 French wheeled vehicle in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of Karelia and Prokhorovka battles.
One thing I didn't mention in the video is that this tank has a tendency to fishtail and spin out. I tend to deliberately slow down prior to reaching the point where I want to stop to prevent fishtailing.
Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Amazing top speed (95)
+ Amazing reverse speed
+ Superb acceleration
+ Superb gun handling
+ Superb HE shell (500 alpha, 105 penetration)
+ Superb camouflage (~44 with Camo, BIA, Food)
+ Superb shell velocity (1300)
+ Good APCR alpha (390)
+ Large wheels provide protection against HE, HESH, and HEAT
- Very poor APCR penetration (190)
- Very poor view range (350 base), but you can reach 445m with Optics, Vents, Food, BIA, Situational Awareness, and Recon
- Paper armor
- Very low DPM
- Low HP (1300)
- As with all wheeled vehicles, can't turn in place and can be awkward in cramped areas
- As with all tier 10 lights, suffers from high penetration loss over distance
Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. Rammer
3. Vents
This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.

Taugrim i have said it before but its worth repeating. Ever since i discovered your videos my WN8 has gone up drastically. I have always considered myself an average player and for years my WN8 hovered around 1466. However, the past month my average is now 1820 and my lifetime average has come up to 1580. You can literally look at the graph and see the day i discovered your channel. Thank you for taking the time to help share your knowledge with the WOT community.

I have 3.5k right now. Apparently that's a bad WTR too. Don't sweat it too much if you think about it. It's pretty much all RNGesus, but you can use your tactics to adjust the randomness to your advantage. Good luck on ever climbing the ranks.

@benflap9374 5 лет назад

Excellent video again! The only mistake I think that is good to mention about the first video, is that you drive over a lot of trees on important moments, so they can still guess the direction you're heading. It's amazing to see what happens when you have a connection with allies and they want to work with you. Even more when you manage to turn the tide and win close battles like that first one. The best thing (which at first I found one of the worst things) about your play is the weird unpredictable short moves you make, like on the hill on Prokhorovka. I always have the feeling that you'll get punished for them, but it never happens, haha! It's cool to see how quickly you managed to adapt to playing wheeled and create your own playstyle in them.

@taugrim 5 лет назад

Yes, microing one's driving to minimize driving over destructive terrain is a subtle, but important thing. Although I try not to worry too much about it as long as it's not obvious where I might be 5-10 seconds later.

It's funny you say that, some detractors have said that my light tank gameplay is "boring" largely because I don't move around enough. Hemingway has an awesome expression: "Never confuse motion for action." I try as much as possible to have objectives in mind when I move from point A to point B. That's why I love WoT so much - it's such a thoughtful game for PVP.

@chris_hisss 5 лет назад

Hey, nice series on these. I brushed these off for a while, but I have been grinding the 6 in hopes to get the Lynx for FL. You helped me to see how to play them more conservatively and pushing at the right times, instead of playing like an active scout might. So, its been going better, almost done with it. I never voted on what I didn't like about the cars because I really didn't know, and partially agree in that the wheels eat too many shots, especially larger caliber guns that should throw a tank spinning through the next map even if it hit a wheel. But for me the speed is the killer, which kind of feeds into the wheels part, you can't really aim to well, much less keep up with them in certain situations, and then there is the problem with server delay, meaning just because you see it there doesn't mean the server does and then the point it is at when the round gets there, can be 3 seconds difference, making it even harder, if the vehicle is moving side to side of course. Then factor in that a lot of people run the game on 30 FPS or less and that combined with worse ping, and its a miracle at times anyone hits these things at all. Oh I forgot about refresh rates of monitors as well being a factor. Then factor in lower shell velocities, and it complicates it. Now I don't have the higher ones, so I don't know for certain, but the auto aim doesn't work for my tier 6 at least, so not sure if that might be a clam of mine later on or not, and likewise the getting hit part. Not sure if it is only me that feels like everyone is so much more accurate than I am, hitting me way more on average than I land my shots. Thanks

Tried this tank out in the common test server this morning (March 29,2020) and used full ammunition of HE. 5,800 damage and 4,700-4,800 assist. Won the game but it was a lot of fun and crazy game. Getting a heck ton of penetrations with the HE. I made a mistake by accidentally ramming into an enemy progetto trying to save an ally Foch B. But it was a really good game for me. Of course i didn’t have my recording on for that game...

@taugrim 5 лет назад

So the tank curves are already flattening, as I had predicted over 3 months ago. Look at the EBR 105: wot-news.com/game/tankinfo/en/eu/france/F108_Panhard_EBR_105 For players in the middle, per the past month it provides a +1% WR lift, but for players on the upper-end and lower-end, their WR drops meaningfully. Basically the more players play these tanks, the more the tank curves are flattening. The EBR 90 is still over-performing - it provides a +2% WR lift over the past month, but that's come down from the ~+3% it was previously. If your shots are getting absorbed, you're either aiming incorrectly or using the wrong ammo type. I don't have any issues consistently penetrating wheeled vehicles with AP/APCR.

@blackAngel88it 5 лет назад

What do you think about EBR 90 vs EBR 105 tier for tier? I just noticed the 105 has the worse turret armor (although they're both pretty much paper) and the back is not even angled like the 90 (and 75)... not sure how much that makes a difference, but especially against HE shots it might actually make a difference. The pen on the 105 really is only barely higher than the Tier 9 one... I just unlocked the 105 and am wondering if the 90 is worth keeping... what do you think? Probably won't stick around with yet another EBR, since I already have the 75 and at least for now keep the Lynx for Frontline.

@taugrim 5 лет назад

The tier 9 alpha sucks for its tier. The tier 10 pen sucks for its tier. Both have worthless armor. I really liked the additional degree of gun depression with the 105. Both are very very fast tanks and are worth keeping.

This was a relatively new crew: 1. The Commander was a holiday female crew reward. She comes with BIA, and I selected Sixth Sense and of course Camo 2. The Driver and Gunner were fresh gold (100% trained, 0% skills) crew members. I select Camo for both 3. The Loader was from my original Leo crew, back when I played the Leo to unlock the Emil I.

Great battle and awesome commentary as always! My question for you or anyone: Which Tech Tree tier 8 french light tank do you prefer more for front line mode: Lynx 6x6 or the B C -12 T ? Thanks!!

@Alex-xe3fh 5 лет назад

I played the BC 12T in frontlines and it really works out .I recently got the lynx , but I will soon test it on frontlines. I think the lynx is better because of the single shot gun / HE pen. I don't like BC DPM and the small alpha. Both have pretty much the same mobility (10km/h difference is too small to be noticeable) and the same cammo . Only the view range is better , but when I was playing the BC12T I wasn't spotting much .Thats my opinion.

@taugrim 5 лет назад

I think the Lynx 6x6 is highly underrated. Its gun is magnificent for its tier. The gun combined with the mobility makes for a highly mobile tank that packs meaningful punch.

@18:00 you got hit because the Obj. 257 right next to you was spotted and shot at.

@taugrim 5 лет назад

So it's often the case that as a light tank you can get hit unintentionally by enemies trying to shoot a spotted friendly that you are between. I watched that segment and it looks to me like there wasn't an enemy tank who was in a position - largely thanks to my spotting and brushing them off hill - who could have spotted the friendly heavy given the distances, hard cover, and bushes. So I think that E75 likely made a good blindfire.

@chrisrobertson5353 5 лет назад

Heh. I guess we'll never know for sure. My guess would be the T30 at the base of the hill had vision on the Obj. 257. The circumstances around that E 75 just put too much doubt into my mind on a lucky blind shot. Thanks for taking the time to investigate my assertion.

I see no problem with ridge-surfing the mid in a scout on this map, as long as there are 2-3 scouts, spreading their view range.

@taugrim 5 лет назад

It's not that surfing the mid ridge is bad, it's that your contribution is primarily limited to spotting. It's easy to do so I tend to let pubbies do it, and they believe they should do it. Spotting on hill requires much more finesse. By going hill, I was able to work in meaningful damage to break open the east side of the map for us.

In January, yes my WR nosedived. Lots of tilt solo. In Feb through March, I solo'd all but one of my battles in the AMD 178B, EBR Hotchkiss, and Lynx 6x6 and had stellar WRs (66%, 60%, and 70%). Those are good-to-excellent tanks. In April, I've been playing the EBR 90 and EBR 105. To be completely honest, the only reason I have a 66% WR in the EBR 90 is because I've been platooning with other blunicums/unicums. I started with a 50% WR in the EBR 90 through 26 battles. I have a 62% WR in the EBR 105 but again I've been platooning with other good players. The EBR 105 can carry in some situations but the pen is a very large limiting factor. I enjoyed the entire French wheeled vehicle line. Speed is so much fun :)

@@taugrim Something I have noticed that works for me is aiming HIGH against these tanks. With ANYTHING else in the game we train ourselves to shoot a little below centerline and is one of the reasons most people find Russian side armor so frustrating because you HAVE to aim high to pen it. The wheely boys seem to be the same thing for me, shooting at the height of the gun tends to provide MUCH better consistency than the instinctive center mass or low for tracking shots. Something to try.

@taugrim 5 лет назад

Will you consider using gold ammo after the gold ammo rebalancing？

@taugrim 5 лет назад

It depends how it is implemented. If it's implemented in a way that retains the higher gold ammo cost, it's still P4A (Pay for Advantage). Even if the alpha on HEAT is reduced when HEAT is the gold shell, it then often becomes an issue of no damage (can't pen with silver AP/APCR) vs pay more for doing reduced damage. What WG should do is follow AW's well-designed model, where all ammo costs roughly the same and there were tradeoffs, i.e.: 1. APCR has highest pen, low damage 2. AP has high pen, medium damage 3. HEAT has medium pen, high damage 4. HE has low pen, highest damage

@@taugrim I would suggest rebalancing gold ammo so it is a reverse-HE, ie high pen but deals less damage to lightly armored targets.

@taugrim 5 лет назад

Tier 5 is where the French light line starts getting good. The ELC AMX was nerfed but I played it to grind the XP for the tier 6 AMD 178B, and while the ELC AMX is no longer the hummingbird with penetration it once was, it's still plenty functional. The tier 6 to tier 10 of the wheeled vehicles are all solid to very good. I especially found the tier 7 EBR Hotchkiss and tier 8 Lynx 6x6 to be very good tanks for their tier.

About the new MM: it is much better than before, but (always a but) as I'm nowdays mostly driving tier 9, old MM used to favor that specific tier much more. Tier 9 used to have many games vs tier 7's, while now it mostly gets into tier 10 games. I don't complain too much, it is enjoyable, also the crucial tier 8 silvermaking tier needed the buff a lot :)

Dude you are 4me the most talented player in NA right now just down to the fact that you get such gg on just silver ammo, I mean that is really nice and congrats to you sir, I have made really great improvements on my games just seen your games and common sense of course ;) take care, my wish would be one day to play at least 1 game with you bro :) have a good one,SentinelF

There are more talented players than me, but I run around with normal arrows and some players carry a ton of magic arrows. Certainly makes it more challenging :)

great video! thanks for breaking down the gameplay. please keep it up, would love to see 2023 and 2024 videos of the same style, explaining newer tank playstyles. One question, did you ever lose a game because you had no HEAT?

What are the crew skills you run on your EBR 105? I'm just getting up to the minimum needed to train crew skills on the AMD 178B and just trying to plan ahead.

Italian mediums are increasingly awesome from tier 8. Progetto 46 is better than Pantera but Pantera was still surprisingly good.

@@taugrim If you like lights and mediums and autoloaders, you will increasingly love these as you go up the tiers. They are also favourite tanks for people like Skill4ltu, but, as he says, challenging to play.

I hated the 5 and 6, but I kind of like the 7. It's not got the best gun, but it's mobile, and I had a lot of fun playing it. I still have a crew in it as well as the 8 and 9. I'm not sure what I'll do when I research the 10.

THX for your video Taugrim, very interesting!!! I don't like my EBR 90... Hope it will be better with 105...

@taugrim 5 лет назад

I personally prefer the EBR 105 over the EBR 90, at-tier. While the silver pen of the EBR 105 is lackluster - and that holds true for the EBR 90 as well - with the EBR 105 you get a far superior HE round (500 alpha is glorious), the APCR alpha of 390 is much more meaningful, and getting back another degree of gun depression makes it easier to work terrain, like the ridge on top of hill in Prokhorovka. The gun and gun depression for the EBR 90 are meaningfully limiting to its offensive capabilities.

I would like it if you could direct me to the math on capping vs finishing off X hps of the enemy team. X has to have a tipping point. Like 10k HPs left on the enemy team is most def better than 50 cap points, for example. And 50 HPs probably is not worth more than capping, but where is that happy medium?

@taugrim 5 лет назад

Does anyone know offhand? I guess we could try calculating it from the WoT Wiki, but I don't have time to do that.

@AytchZero 5 лет назад

Unless something has changed in the last couple of updates, you get zero XP gain for capping. The capping benefit is only credit related. The is (or was) a coefficient on XP gain based on the percentage of enemy HP that has been eliminated. So if there is one half health enemy running around, its probably not worth trying to track them down. And given the credit bonus, if you are runnning a premium tank with a credit gain reserve activated, capping may be to your (personal) advantage.

@dukefrywokker6470 5 лет назад

@@AytchZero I think you have it reversed. There is no credits for capping, only XP gained.

@AytchZero 5 лет назад

@@dukefrywokker6470 I just checked the Wiki and it is now indicating XP for capping, so you are right! I don't know when it changed, but it was not that way in the past. If the Wiki is correct and you get 1 base XP per cap point, your personal gain will always be best served by capping I would think. This is a shame because capping is mostly a red herring. But...to reward players for game play that for the most part does not increase the team's chances for winning is typical of WG's bad game mechanics decisions.

@MikeMohawk 5 лет назад

Damage gives more XP and killing tanks give best XP, the games that are capped early give very poor XP even for the winning team. So killing is best because it gives most XP of all options for everybody. Then again, a win by cap is better then a draw because you can't find that last tank. And how many times did you see a los when your team yelled: NO CAP, KILL ALL ;)
