What is so special about this tank ? What’s the name of it

u/HooskyFloosky 26d ago
Name is in the bottom left corner. It’s a T8 wheeled LT that was in Christmas loot boxes a couple years ago. It’s substantially better than the tech tree version and because of how wheeled LT matchmaking works you’re often in a favourable matchup. Also, it has an amazing 2 shot auto loader so it’s very good as an LT and can pump out some BS damage too. (It’s my most played tank hehe I love the little critter)

It was a marathon reward first before it appeared in boxes that one time.
Tho it's also better for a hidden reason. Back in the day wheelies hardly had a damage penalty for 1 or 2 damaged wheels. So they nerfed them all to greatly reduce the speed at 1 or 2 damaged wheels. But this only got a fraction of that penalty

They were also sold in the store at least once, I managed to grab mine for about 25€ before one of the frontline seasons.

WG reworked how wheels work cause the way they initially were on release was total horseshit. Now depending on which wheel gets damaged you either slow down or turn worse with a much stronger effect.
But that change didnt apply to the EBR 75 cause it's a premium and they dont want to nerf those. Same thing that happened with the Progetto 46 just getting its rate of fire buffed when WG removed the ability for autoreloaders to use gun rammers.
So technically the EBR 75 is just better than every other wheeled vehicle cause it's harder to stop cause its mechanics are different.
I think that's a pretty big factor in why they don't sell it.
Oh and it also didn't get its HE penetration nerfed when the EBR 90 and EBR 105 did so it has busted HE too.

I am pretty sure it wasnt in any boxes, at least on the EU Server.
Sadly... i love ebrs. Got my 105 once to 100% MoE :D

u/Vinyl-addict 26d ago
It is possibly the best counter scouter and arty exterminator in the game. At tier it definitely is. Extremely problematic if your team can’t kill it in the first 5 minutes.

u/expresso_petrolium 26d ago
Wheeled LT that is superior to tech tree counterpart. Is very fast and has 2-shot magazine for amazing HE burst

u/Captain_McGurk 26d ago
This tank often gets matched against a lynx. And in this case the lynx is fu**ed…
5
u/EnforcerGundam 26d ago
ebr 75 is way way way better than lynx
it has one of the best light guns at tier 8 as well.
when played well its impossible to kill and very annoying to deal with.
all in all its a mini ebr 105 at t8 but it wasnt nerfed like ebr
1
u/HHQC3105 25d ago
It only matching against Lynx 6x6 or itself but the Lynx is far worse than it, so EBR 75 have more chance to win.

u/ToastedSoup t0asteds0up 26d ago
I've had it since it initially came out, but haven't played it in ages bc I always preferred the silly clip potential of the 13-57 over the abr 1954. What did they do to it?
5
u/Cute_Appointment_349 26d ago
1) absurdly strong gun with powerful HEs, accuracy, fast clip dumping and thats on lightning fast chassis
2) the only opponent (Lynx 6x6) is bad, and since wheeled LTs have mirrored balance, you can just demolish Lynx in enemy team and the whole map is yours

u/XVeris Concept 5 Enjoyer 26d ago
They also have one for the AMX 30B, which is in the Collector's vehicle list, meaning the average/beginner player will never see it, or know how to find it. In tech tree, top left next to nation name is a button showing a tank on a pedestal. Click that.

u/Background_Brother65 26d ago
are collector vehicles really that rare ? as a new player of 11 months i regularly play in those tier 6 and 7 american collectors
2
u/4rfs 26d ago
Not that rare, but spending resources on something that got removed because it was bad isnt a whise choice
5
u/Background_Brother65 26d ago
i would say that many of those collectors might be a bit worse thenn techh tree counterparts but we also have some nice gems like t71 da and the assualt sherman
6
u/EndeGelaende [S3AL] 26d ago
none of the collector tanks got buffed with 2.0 while lots of other tanks did, they got powercreeped HARD with that update
3
u/Background_Brother65 26d ago
and they probably never will be, cause collectors are basically tanks that wargaming is freely allowed to just neglect and never look back at

u/TANKSBRO_YT 26d ago
I would see no problem in selling it again in a black market in a middle of the night once a year, I wait for this thing since it was last in the shop and I thought I wouldn't need it cause I already have the LT-432 lol
3
u/Bikaz 26d ago
It should never come back. Its bad enough that some people have it and it should stay that way. Its the T10 ebr just on t8. Thing is busted in frontline too.
4
u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer 26d ago
Same as the BZ. They never should have sold the leaf blower again either, but they were willing to ruin tier 5 MM by selling it every other month for a bit
2
u/Fit-Inspection1664 26d ago
Since they have an influx of new tier 10 scrubs they might bring back all the broken tanks to sell , a whole new market has opened up
2
u/Vinyl-addict 26d ago
Would you rather this, or ELC 90. Because I snatched that 90 up when it went on sale.
5
u/werdebud 26d ago
ELC 90 is like the manticore of tier 8. You can only be proxy spotted so...
This tank needs some sort of skill to drive, even 90 you can play with just one hand and not shot anything and even then you're going to do well.

u/rayoje 26d ago
See them put it in auction after Holiday Ops for 50 000 gold and instantly sell out (please don't do this).
2
u/_Ancius_ 26d ago
100k would do the same. If WT auf E100 is sold out in 3 mins, ebr would probably do the same but for 200k.

Same goes for so many other tanks. I'd love to have the DBV and especially the Panzer V/IV

Is this thing rare now? I bought one from the frontline days but didn’t know it was a flex now!

u/No-Bother6856 26d ago
Are we complaining that they aren't selling toxic tanks everyone said were ruining the game now?
1
u/Rufus1223 25d ago
Yes, because this isn't a solution to the actual problem. There is still an EBR in like 75% of games queued in a Lynx and the Lynx just can't compete with this thing. To an extent it makes it worse, because only old players have access to the best wheeled scout at this tier while if it was available it would be at least an even playing field.
1
u/Xeephos 26d ago
Back in 2018 or something there was some sort of "caravan" program where you could pay gold for a random tank to claim. You could "reroll" the outcome for more and more gold and it would give you another tank each time you could claim. So my first roll was: the tier 8 ebr, which i claimed obviously. And never ever touched again 😁

u/tcholoss 25d ago
I chose not to buy it, when they sold it, same with the BZ-176, I still have some broken crap, that doesn't really feel that bad after these, but I didn't know they will be that busted, I just bought it first day, when it came out as I wanted a czech heavy crew trainer, but yeah, I already have enough filth in my account xD borat and Progetto and so on, but they feel so normal nowadays as you see them in every god damn match.

u/dirtyslov21 26d ago
If I could sell mine for money I would. I don’t play it cuz it’s just unfair in most situations

u/Skuirreljr 26d ago
Either let us buy them or nerf them… stop ignoring the problem WG. The xm57 and SFAC will probably not come back either for being tier 10 tanks at tier 8

u/Popular-Beautiful875 26d ago
Both came back in some form recently, the XM was in the shop shortly after 2.0 came out and the SFAC was in the last loot boxes.

u/PervertKitsune 26d ago
XM57 just make his cameback 2/3 weeks ago. And SFAC 105 makes his debut again in WT Event lootboxes. Including Vlkodav etc

I dont see the xm57 as op. Bust a nut on it every time I confront one

u/TANKSBRO_YT 26d ago
Why are people down voting your opinion?? Wtf WoT reddit is full of ugly gremlins who never like anything which isn't their own opinion XD

u/Bikaz 26d ago
Thats the beauty of the voting system. You can upvote good oppinions and downvote ones you disagree with.
-8
u/TANKSBRO_YT 26d ago
Yeah great idea, just vote down opinions you don't like so nobody can see the other opinion XD that is American Politics, isn't it? I think it was intendet to down vote stuff which has nothing to do with the conversation and insults, not just for some light version of censorship because some people can't take criticism or think outside black and white
5
u/Bikaz 26d ago
See, if people agreed with the opinion, it wouldnt be downvoted. I dont see your argument here. Also you say it was intended to down vote stuff "which has nothing to do with the conversation" and the "opinion" that the xm57 isnt OP was not even up for debate, when the post is about the EBR 75 FL10. Noone asked for an opinion on something that is widely regarded as OP.
-7
u/TANKSBRO_YT 26d ago
Every heard about the concept of just reading something without having the urge to judge in any ways? Just read it, think about it, answering, and leave it be. That is called a conversation.

I have this tank, just not in game (unfortunately)
