The AMX ELC BIS's armour is only sufficient to protect against small arms fire, and the 2-man crew means there is little chance of survival if shot at. In particular, while the front hull armour and parts of the front turret armour are sufficient to protect against .50 cals, there are weak spots on the front turret with an effective thickness as low as 13 mm, notably around the driver, making any encounter with vehicles equipped with .50 cals potentially deadly, even at up to 1500 m. The ELC can survive low shots however, as both the engine and transmission sit in the front of tank, and thus can absorb most of the damage if directly hit.

The AMX ELC BIS has a formidable top speed of 87 km/h (AB) and 80 km/h (RB/SB). However, it suffers from poor acceleration and speed retention through turns, which is particularly noticeable in RB/SB, where the ELC will in practice only reach 60 km/h at most even when fully upgraded. Thus, its mobility on the battlefield is comparable to the American [[M50]] and [[M56]], that both stand at the same BR, and is vastly inferior to the [[AML-90 (Family)|AML-90]]. The reverse speed is only of 10 km/h, too slow to escape dangerous encounters, which is something players must keep in mind when engaging enemies. In contrast, the ELC has a particularly good power-to-weight ratio, even when compared to other light vehicles of the same BR range.

The 90 mm D915 cannon is unremarkable, it is extremely similar to the 90 mm found on the [[AML-90 (Family)|AML-90]] or the [[Ratel 90]], and is unsuited for long range due to the poor ballistics of the HEAT-FS, and fails to make up for it in close quarters due to the average reload. In addition, stabilizing the gun after stopping takes a few seconds, making snapshots impossible.

The AMX ELC BIS has only one ammo rack, located at the rear of the tank, just before the fuel tank. As such, there is no real survivability decrease by taking a full ammo load. Due to the low velocity of the HEAT-FS rounds, it is therefore optimal to take a full load when using the ELC at long range.

Despite looking like one, it is important to remember that the AMX ELC BIS is ''not'' a light tank. It is strictly a tank destroyer, a fact highlighted by the absence of the scouting ability.

The ELC is best unseen, .50 cals, which are common at the BR, can penetrate weak spots on the front turret and immediately kill the crew. In addition, the reload speed being simply average makes engaging multiple enemies not desirable; But in RB and SB, that is where the ELC's top-notch camouflaging ability comes into play, as the ELC can take the time to choose its targets carefully and patiently wait for the right time to strike. The slow reverse speed can be deadly if an engagement turns out dangerous, but this can be alleviated with a promptly-timed usage of the smoke grenades.

Description

The AMX ELC bis (1961) is a rank IV French tank destroyer with a battle rating of 6.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Wind of Change".

The ELC bis' armour is only sufficient to protect against small arms fire, and the 2-man crew means there is little chance of survival if shot at. In particular, while the front hull armour and parts of the front turret armour are sufficient to protect against .50 cals, there are weak spots on the front turret with an effective thickness as low as 13 mm, notably around the driver, making any encounter with vehicles equipped with .50 cals potentially deadly, even at up to 1500 m. The ELC can survive low shots however, as both the engine and transmission sit in the front of tank, and thus can absorb most of the damage if directly hit.

The ELC bis has a formidable top speed of 87 km/h (AB) and 80 km/h (RB/SB). However, it suffers from poor acceleration and speed retention through turns, which is particularly noticeable in RB/SB, where the ELC will in practice only reach 60 km/h at most even when fully upgraded. Thus, its mobility on the battlefield is comparable to the American M50 and M56, which both stand at the same BR. The reverse speed is only of -10 km/h, too slow to escape dangerous encounters, which is something players must keep in mind when engaging enemies. In contrast, the ELC bis has a particularly good power-to-weight ratio, even when compared to other light vehicles at the same BR.

Usage in battles

Despite looking like one, it is important to remember that the ELC bis is not a light tank. It is strictly a tank destroyer, a fact highlighted by the absence of the scouting ability. The ELC bis is mobile but is generally slower than other light vehicles of the same BR, thus it is not really able to capture points early-on. The ELC excels in camouflage and in taking spots normally unattainable, and the gameplay generally revolves around this. The ELC bis is best unseen: .50 cal MGs, which are common at the BR, can penetrate weak spots on the front turret and immediately knock out the crew. In addition, the reload speed being simply average makes engaging multiple enemies not desirable. But in RB and SB, that is where the ELC's top-notch camouflaging ability comes into play, as the ELC bis can take the time to choose its targets carefully and patiently wait for the right time to strike. The slow reverse speed can be deadly if an engagement turns out dangerous, but this can be alleviated with a promptly-timed usage of the smoke grenades.

HEATFS being the ELC's only available shell, large tanks can be hard to deal with, but in particular, extra care is required against the Centurion Mk.5 AVRE, as its ERA armour is extremely efficient against HEATFS rounds.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Incredibly small profile, can hide in places that are simply impossible for other vehicles
  • Good mobility
  • Formidable top speed of 80 km/h
  • HEATFS rounds with 320 mm of penetration, making enemy armour not a concern

Cons:

  • Only 2 crew members, both sitting in a small turret: hits on the turret are nearly always fatal
  • Front turret weak spots make the ELC vulnerable to .50 cal MGs even from the front
  • Weak top armour: 20 mm cannons and 50 cal MGs found on aircraft rip right through and knock out the crew as well
  • Rarely reaches its top speed in RB and SB
  • Reverse speed is underwhelming for a light tank
  • Cannot fully traverse the turret 360 degrees
  • Low muzzle velocity on the HEATFS shells: not suited for engaging moving targets at long range
  • Low gun elevation

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
