Christmas tree in here. An overview of the combat use of the ELC AMX. Different weapons - different methods of warfare

ELC AMX or simply Elka. The most popular and famous French LT lvl 5. throughout the game.

Pros and cons

Well, let's start with the good.

• High speed
• Frantic dynamics
• Powerful top gun
• low silhouette

And now the bad

• No armor, hull (14/12/10 mm), turret (14/12/10 mm)
• Terribly long mix
• A small turret turn, like on a tank destroyer
• Constantly throw to 7-8 lvls.

pumping

Modules

Pumping modules in order:

• We install the engine (SOFAM 8 Gxb) it will give us an increase in power.
• Next, we pump the gun from the drain 75 mm SA44 > 75 mm SA32 > 90 mm D. 915 to the top, the latter will give us good damage (240/240/320) and average penetration (170/248/45), though the rate of fire will decrease 2.5 times, and the convergence will increase by 0.6 sec.
• Then you can optionally pump the chassis (AMX ELC bis) in order to increase maneuverability, or pump the radio (ER 53), though the radio will increase the distance by 60 meters.

Tactics in battle

As I said, Yolka is famous high speed and dynamics, which will allow us to play the role of a firefly. Small armor will not let us tank, and 400 HP will fly away from one splash, but the top gun is capable of a lot.

Tactics on city maps:

It is very hard to hit us on city maps. Use your speed to slip past the enemy, carefully look where the enemy's tower is turned. If the enemy tower is turned in the opposite direction from you, then you can safely cross the road and hide behind the houses.

Tactics on open maps:

Hiding in open areas is very difficult. Therefore, try to hide behind allied TTs and periodically help them home in on the enemy.

Add. equipment and what shells to take.

From equipment I would recommend:

Improved ventilation - useful thing, for general performance improvement.

Coated optics - improve visibility

A camouflage net is a great thing, it will help you "lay low".

Equipment:

Well, everything is clear standard set.

What ammo to take?

Well, here, too, in general, a standard set: more AP, fewer shells for gold, and of course, land mines will suddenly meet artillery.

Crew Perks

Our crew only consists of 2 people Commander and Mech-Water.

History reference

In the 1950s, the French Ministry of Defense initiated the ELC program, which provided for the creation of an airborne airborne combat support vehicle with a crew of two people weighing less than 7 tons.

AMX provided a more conservative solution based on the CC-2 ammo carrier (which in turn was based on the Hotchkiss TT6-52). The prototype was called the ELC AMX and was classified as a tank destroyer to intimidate the enemy. A feature of this sample is the location of the entire crew (two people) in the tower. The second prototype is ELC BIS. His model is presented in the game.

Overview of video guide ELC AMX World of Tanks

Hello dear tankers! In the middle of the 20th century, the Ministry of Defense thought about creating a light airborne support combat vehicle with the possibility of air transport. The ELC program spawned a string of fantastic prototype designs, but the result was a more traditional machine from AMX. In the game, we received a very specific light tank, which is strikingly different from the same-level counterparts of other nations and received the nickname Elka from the players. About how coniferous lives in harsh world steel monsters, we'll talk further.

Overview of video guide ELC AMX World of Tanks

The first thing that catches your eye is the low strength value, only 400 units, which is 160 lower than that of the T-50-2 and 210 lower than that of the VK-2801 in top configuration. We immediately conclude that open duels are contraindicated for us. The ELC AMX has vanishingly thin armor at 14mm on the forehead, 12mm on the sides and 10mm on the karma. Even for guns of the 1st level, such armor will not be an obstacle. We also have the lowest view compared to the 5th level brothers, only 360 m with a 100% crew, not very much, because the big-eyed Chafee sees 40 m further. Unfortunately, we also got the weakest radio station, the communication range is only 360 meters, for comparison, the Chafi radio station allows you to transmit intelligence to the allies at a distance of 745 meters. Also, the disadvantages include the front location of the engine, which will be damaged if you self-confidently attack the enemy in the frontal and limit the angle of rotation of the tower in the range of only 30 degrees. If you have the impression that everything is bad, then you are completely wrong, since the shortcomings are more than offset by the virtues. Thanks to its modest weight, which does not exceed 8 tons, the AMX's accelerating dynamics is quite comparable to the T-50-2, right up to the maximum speed. True, it still realizes its advantage further, however, it is significantly inferior to us in turning speed, despite the twisted speed controller, and only the dexterous Chafee is ahead of the Frenchman in agility, in addition, ground resistance has less effect on us than on classmates. As a result, we can safely say that the ELC AMX is one of the most dynamic tanks in the World of Tanks game.

Hello to all fans of tank battles, the site is with you! Today our guest is, without exaggeration, a very interesting and powerful vehicle, a Tier 5 French light tank, in front of you AMX ELC bis guide.

Players love to affectionately call this device “Yelka” because of its strange name for a Russian person. On the whole TTX AMX ELC bis World of Tanks really worthy of respect, this tank is very strong and perfectly copes with the role of an excellent firefly, but playing it is not so easy, especially if you do not know some important nuances and tactics.

TTX AMX ELC bis

First of all, every owner of this Frenchman should be aware that the tank has a very modest margin of safety and the view of 360 meters is not so big for the LT-5, which will definitely need to be increased.

With a small margin of safety AMX ELC bis specifications armor is very modest, it seems that the tank is completely made of foil. They will always pierce you, everything and into any projection, nothing can be done about it, all that remains is to act as carefully as possible and never make mistakes.

But the medal has a beautiful side, it is that AMX ELC bis WoT not only is it the smallest tank in its tier, it is one of the most compact and low vehicles in our game. All this means that the disguise at our disposal is excellent, standing in the bushes, this firefly literally turns into a bush, well, or a Christmas tree.

But the apogee of greatness will be that French light tank AMX ELC bis got amazing performance. This little machine has excellent top speed, dynamics and maneuverability, which allows you to almost fly on the battlefield.

gun

The armament of this kid will not disappoint you either, it is not for nothing that the top gun is comparable in size to the entire body of the vehicle, so we will now pay maximum attention to it.

Let's start with what AMX ELC bis gun has a very high alpha for a light tank of the fifth level, but our rate of fire is low, so only about 1200 damage can be dealt per minute.

Another strongest parameter in AMX ELC bis World of Tanks is penetration, which is an order of magnitude higher than that of our peers. Thanks to this privilege, we can easily break through vehicles of the fifth and sixth levels, and all sevens can be “sewn” into the sides and stern.

But you have to pay for powerful one-time damage and excellent penetration, in our case bargaining chip became the accuracy and comfort of dealing damage. AMX ELC bis tank received a large spread, very long mixing and poor stabilization.

But several other nuances interfere even more. Firstly, our vertical aiming angles are bad, the barrel bends down only 5 degrees. Secondly, AMX ELC bis WoT devoid of a rotating turret, the total UGN is 30 degrees, which would be good for a tank destroyer, but bad for a mobile light tank.

Advantages and disadvantages

It will be quite easy to sum up all of the above, since the “Christmas tree” is a machine of extremes. On the one hand, this baby has very serious advantages, on the other hand, AMX ELC bis World of Tanks has no less serious shortcomings, but it is necessary to know all these nuances and now we will break them down into points.
Pros:
Excellent mobility;
Very small and squat dimensions;
Excellent masking factor;
Powerful one-time damage;
Excellent penetration performance for LT-5.
Minuses:
The smallest margin of safety among classmates;
Mediocre visibility for a light tank;
Cardboard armor;
Poor accuracy;
Uncomfortable UVN and non-rotating turret.

Equipment for AMX ELC bis

Choice Variations additional modules are often repetitive. Usually we try to improve existing strengths and level out weaknesses, however, in the case of AMX ELC bis equipment has two configuration options:
1. - in our case, when there is a powerful alpha strike, it is important to improve the mediocre rate of fire so that we can shoot more often.
2. - with the speed of mixing, we also have very serious problems that need to be addressed radically.
3. - remembering the shortcoming in the review, this module is perfect for solving this problem, and even in this case, the maximum review cannot be achieved.

We reviewed a set that is suitable for an active playstyle, but due to the excellent disguise and a few other nuances, AMX ELC bis WoT can perfectly cope with passive light, in which case the first item remains unchanged, and the other two look like this:
1. - will allow with minimal effort to achieve the top viewing range and shine through everyone around.
2. - goes well with the "horns", and, one might say, activates the stealth mode for our Frenchman, if you stand still in the bushes.

Which one to choose is up to you and your playstyle, and depending on your preference, you can even try combining the two equipment setups.

Crew training

If we talk about pumping the crew, in the case of this tank, this issue is interesting, but our capabilities are extremely limited by the fact that there are only two tankers inside. Of course, their specializations are very strongly combined and therefore for AMX ELC bis perks learn like this:
Commander (gunner, radio operator, loader) - , , , .
Driver mechanic - , , , .

Equipment for AMX ELC bis

Fortunately, consumables are bought according to the well-known standard scheme, where if you are tight on supplies of silver credits, it is better to give preference to , , . But when there is enough silver or gold, it is better not to save and carry on AMX ELC bis gear from , , . Yes, by the way, replacing the last item with is welcome, since you will often not burn.

Tactics of the game on AMX ELC bis

As expected, in order to realize the potential of the tank, and in our case it is very high, it is necessary to remember its advantages and disadvantages, as well as be able to handle them. So for AMX ELC bis tactics combat consists, first of all, in highlighting enemy equipment.

At the very beginning of the battle, you can go to some treasured bush (if there is one on the map), stand in it and not move. The passive light tactic works great in our case, to detect light tank AMX ELC bis due to its small dimensions and excellent camouflage, it is difficult even from 100 meters, especially if you prefer a camouflage net.

As soon as the situation starts to get out of control or the position loses its relevance, we begin to use the magnificent mobility of the "Christmas tree". AMX ELC bis tank must almost always be on the move, diving in terrain or maneuvering among buildings on city maps, constantly extracting valuable intelligence. At the same time, it is very difficult to hit such a small fighter.

If you want to not only shine, but also inflict damage, the situation becomes more complicated. Problem with accuracy and non-rotating turret AMX ELC bis World of Tanks, strongly makes itself felt, so for firing you will have to choose a position and shoot from a place with full attention, in the manner of a tank destroyer.

For the same reasons AMX ELC bis WoT cannot carousel the enemy, because our tower does not rotate. Otherwise, you should always keep an eye on the mini-map, try to shine as much as possible and take damage as little as possible, and for this you need to move, think, cheat and move again.
