An improved version of the French wheeled tank, equipped with a deadly 90mm gun with HEATFS shells!

The first armored vehicles of the E.B.R. series appeared in War Thunder during the winter marathon “Operation W.I.N.T.E.R.”. The nimble scouts with a 75mm cannon and an automatic loader took the heart of our tankers for their excellent mobility on solid ground and impressive fire potential, when the annoying French quickly outflanked a group of opponents and could quickly disable several targets from the side and rear. The 75mm APC rounds had problems with the penetration of particularly tough targets from the front, and the Soviet heavy tanks or German self-propelled guns of the late period of the war remained a difficult target for the French car.

The Model E.B.R. (1963) retains most of the the positive f... Read more

Aiming through smoke


Downed enemies often resort to use smoke screens hoping to hide from you and gain some time for repair. An honest tactic but when the aiming marker hit the smoke, the vehicle’s sight shifted and this prevented you from continuing to fire even on an im... Read more

  • Mi-28N, Ka-52 — S-13DF missile has been changed to S-13OF with the А-IX-2 explosives weight equal to 6.9 kg. An incorrect calculation of TNT equivalent required for striking armoured targets has been corrected that led to an ammunition type change for balance reasons.
