It’s honestly amazing.
If you’re facing an M22.
My opinion is the same, I find it so hard to play, I much prefer the FL11, as it is smaller and less ugly

It’s funny that the 1954 used to be 4.7 (?) when it was first introduced.
It has gone up in Br repeatedly since its introduction because statistically it has been overperforming at those lower br’s. Its only lacking feature is the gun, which is a drawback but if you are playing it like a light tank as you should, then you are scouting for your teammates and only using your gun either to disable enemies, by shooting tracks or gun barrels, or shooting people from the side where the gun is effective. It would have been nice to see the other versions as TT vehicles as opposed to event ones, but the one in the tree is far from useless
- shoot tank in side (non pen)
- shoot barrel (nothing happens)
- shoot track (nothing happens)
The gun is so weak at this BR you cant do anything to a lot of tanks. And asking you public match teamates to kill stuff you spot is a hard thing to do.
It should be 4.3 max. Even the FL11 is tough to play because all you fight are KV series tanks which you have to be at the most perfect exact up close angle to pen from the side.
So because some players were good with it they up BR it, meanwhile they leave the puma at 3.3? Even the puma with the big gun is only 4.7.

I find the FL11 very easy to use, small and speedy it’s perfect
Its a good tank - but if you’ve ever shot a KV in the side youll know true suffering.
The 1963 is not 6.3/6.7 it’s at 7.7 now. None of the EBRs seem particularly favourable in BR, the 54 at 6.7 is the best probably.
The issue with the 1963 (the HEAT-FS one), is there’s nothing it can do the AML-90 can’t, it’s just the AML-90 but bigger and slower. Bit more resistant to planes shooting it, and I admit when I last used it, it was still quite good.
But yeah the 51 at 5.3 is very odd, the M24 is a better vehicle at 3.7. It’s high up enough that if it were any higher it’d be unusable, it’s a light tank at a BR where it cannot penetrate any of the more common medium tanks at the BR from the front which is a rarity.

It went through
There’s no HEATFS variant at 6.7.
You’re thinking 7.3, which AMX-13-90 is superior to.
Gaijin isn’t Russian.
Again, that’s not 7.3 anymore it’s 7.7
Believable.
AMX-13-90 is even more superior now then.
The HEATFS one is like 7.7 and it absolutely sucks, one of the worst tanks I’ve played in the game

It’s not even bad, it’s just confusing why it’s not the same BR as AML-90, it’s basically just a slight downgrade compared to that vehicle, why it’s 7.7 is confusing.
Since when is Gaijin not Russian?
Since before 2021.
Slower, larger and more sluggish using one of the worst HEAT shells for its BR
Since 2015
The EBR has the same reverse as forward speed. This makes it excellent for retreating and to get into firing positions. It has also very good top speed. The side armor of 5.3 tanks is pretty much the same as at 3.7 and APHE one shots a lot of the time.
Incredible how french players managed to put this thing 2.0 br higher than the puma which you wouldnt be stupid to say is a better light tank. Bit slower max speed and turret traverse but better hp/ton ration way better reload similar pen on aphe and access to apcr.
Its also 1.7 higher than AMX-13-M24 which is 3.7 that is even better than M24 and AMX-13(FL11) but its a premium so no higher brs for it. People have hard time to find a tank more overtired that EBR 1951 i dont think i found any person that enjoyed it after it was moved up very fast.

Well, here’s one.
The EBR 1951 beats the Puma in pretty much any metric.
And yeah you can easily take M24s, FL 11 or any variant into 5.3 battles and still get good results.
It’s the nature of light tanks that don’t rely on armor to do well.
But it’s clear that the EBR is much more capable than the other light vehicles due to having a fast reverse speed, meaning better chance of survivale as well as better chances to get into firing positions.
