I'm stopping playing for now (except 1 game to for Tank Rewards and daily missions). EBRs are unbearable, you have no impact on the game anymore and it's hugely annoying.

Have you noticed games where your whole team camps at the base? That's due to EBRs.

• LTs are dead as a class. You camp until the enemy EBRs die. Dumb EBRs is your only chance. No way you can counter wheelies. French LTs stand no chance with long aiming and reload. Soviets with good stab and some armor may hit an EBR once before dying from enemy fire. US/Ger/etc aren't worth mentioning.
• Arty can counter LTs but not EBRs. You can't help your team as it's impossible to even splash them, don't waste your shots with 30s reloading. Their trajectory is too unpredictable. You're dead within 1-2 mins from either rushing EBR or the following arty shot.
• TDs are defenseless against a spin by EBR. The only chance is, one-shot an EBR heading straight to you while you're hidden (i.e. no wheels exposed to absorb JPz E100 shell).
• HTs are slow to get to a position. You get lighted by rushing EBR while in transition, get focused, die or become one-shot, thus useless as an HT. Optionally you pick a long route to avoid EBR light, lose all timings and arrive at the position too late. Often when half of your team is dead.
• MTs are the only chance to counter EBRs. You have to have a good stab to hit one, good armor not to get 500 dmg in your rear. EBRs absorb shells with the wheels while sniping you at full speed. Meanwhile you get shot by the enemy, because you and EBR are in the open. You don't counter enemy MDs since you're busy. You're trying to hit a 100km/h EBR with you 100ms ping. The whole your team does, while EBR circles between your tanks at your base.

With the constantly increasing number of EBRs in the game (rarely you there is none), switching to levels 5-6 is an option, but that's a somewhat different gameplay from lvl 8-10.

Yesterday in NA I waited in queue from 3+ mins on lvl 9 to get a game with 3 EBRs (enemy one had 70% winrate in 11k battles) and 3 arties. Looks like I'm not the only one stopping playing.
