The AMX ELC Bis is a French light tank featured at Tier V in the popular MMO, World of Tanks. Known for its distinctively compact design and exceptional mobility, the ELC Bis stands out as a unique contender on the battlefield. It sports a 90 mm gun that, despite its slow reload and aim time, can deliver a significant punch to enemies. In terms of stats, it boasts a top speed of 60 km/h, making it one of the fastest tanks at its tier, complemented by a surprisingly robust camouflage rating.
Within the current meta of World of Tanks, the ELC Bis is celebrated for its scouting capabilities and hit-and-run tactics. Its strengths lie in its ability to relocate quickly and spot enemy positions while staying concealed. However, its weaknesses are just as notable; the tank suffers from poor durability and a high skill ceiling due to its manual turret, which can only rotate to limited angles. Players often use the ELC Bis to flank enemies, utilizing its speed to escape danger, or to find vantage points where they can snipe without being spotted.
Historical Overview:
The AMX ELC Bis was developed in the early 1950s with the intent to provide airborne forces with a light tank that could be transported by air and perform reconnaissance missions. The 'ELC' in its name stands for 'Engin Léger de Combat' (Light Combat Vehicle). Originally envisioned to be part of a family of air-portable vehicles for rapid deployment, the tank was designed to meet stringent weight limitations, which influenced its small size and unique shape.
Development Background:
The primary requirement that led to the creation of the AMX ELC Bis was the need for a highly mobile, lightly armored tank that could support paratroopers. It was intended to bridge the gap between light reconnaissance vehicles and the more heavily armored tanks. Engineers aimed to design a tank that could offer both firepower and mobility in a compact frame, suitable for operations that required fast deployment and adaptability on diverse terrains.
Production Status:
The AMX ELC Bis never went into mass production. Initially, several prototypes were tested, but the advent of anti-tank guided missiles and changes in military strategy led to the project being scaled down and eventually discontinued. The French military opted instead for other light armored vehicles that could fulfill similar roles without the limitations of the ELC's design. Although it never saw widespread operational use, the AMX ELC Bis remains a fascinating example of innovative tank design during the Cold War era.
