The <value_unset_error> is a [[|]] tier .
<value_unset_error>
The ELC AMX represents a rather dramatic reversal in French tank design philosophy. While the AMX 40 and prior tanks were slow, with weak guns, and heavily armored, the ELC is fast, well armed and lightly armored.
The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.
Modules / Available Equipment and Consumables
Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good acceleration and top speed
- Good damage and penetration
- Very low silhouette. Can "face hug" tanks and easily stay below their gun depression
- Good camo, 100% camo crew cuts enemy view range by 40% (say from 400 to 240)
- Can use both pivot and normal turning
Cons:
- Extremely limited turret rotation
- Slow rate of fire (On top gun)
- Terrible armor
- Poor signal range
- Very low weight, making ramming an unreliable option
Performance
Everything you've come to know about French tanks changes with this vehicle. You'll have to forget about the armor of the AMX 40, but for the first time you'll be able to move at high speed and use a great gun. In fact the ELC AMX has the highest damage and penetration of all tier 5s (excluding tank destroyers). Its ability to flank is limited because of its lack of a fully rotatable turret. It can't circle shoot at all. As a result, you have to resort to a support role, defense, or sniping with the accurate 90mm gun. The size, weight, and play style of this tank are comparable to the French Renault UE 57 tank destroyer.
The playstyle changes somewhat once you reach the highest tiers. Indeed, the ELC faces higher tiers than most tier 5s, facing off against up to tier 9 tanks. There, your maneuverability and small size will help you best, and if you feel confident and master the battlefield enough, you can engage isolated heavy tanks and tank destroyers and get behind enemy lines. Your worst enemies are tanks that can chase you, or even ram you, like mediums and other light tanks.
Due to its short height, the ELC can sidehug all heavy tanks and most other tanks (although heavies are slower and easier to keep up with) and it would be impossible to hit, because most tanks do not have enough gun depression to reach it.
Early Research
- The ER 53 radio carries over from the AMX 40, so it's available immediately.
- Focus on researching the 75 mm Long 44 first.
- Next research the SOFAM 8Gxb engine.
- Go from there.
