I review the EBR Hotchkiss, a tier 7 French wheeled light tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 9 Westfield and tier 8 Tundra battles.

The EBR Hotchkiss combines a potent gun with a highly mobile platform, but like other wheeled vehicles it has horrible view range and negligible armor.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb gun depression (-10)
+ Superb acceleration
+ Superb camouflage
+ High pen HE round (75)
+ Excellent AP pen (160)
+ Excellent gun handling
+ Excellent top speed (70)
- Very low view range (310)
- Paper armor
- Tall profile
- Relatively poor accuracy (0.40 base)
- Relatively low DPM
- As with all wheeled vehicles, can't turn in place and can be awkward in cramped areas

Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. Rammer
3. Vents

This tank can get by without VStab due to the low dispersion values. I prefer Vents over VStab for the improvement to view range.

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.
