WoT Supertest: AMX ELC 901

The AMX ELC 901 is a Tier VI French light tank, resembling the researchable AMX ELC bis. It has the same advantage of an extremely low silhouette and, therefore, excellent concealment. Like its counterpart, the AMX ELC 901 carries a gun that is large and heavy for its size (the caliber is 90 mm in the case of the 901), which limits the rotation of the tankโ€™s turret to 30 degrees. Weak armor is compensated for by a base top forward speed of 60 km/h.

  1. So, I cant help but to compare to VK 105.
    VK has 350 damage and 104mm heat pen versus 240 damage and 170 HEAT pen (but you don’t have a turret)
    VK has 380 view range and 14.25 camo versus this 360 view range and 21.89 camo.
    Same top speed but AMX has 28 power weight ratio versus VK 26. I’ll call the 2 in this instance negligible.
    VK 105 has 80 more hit points and more armor.

    The sell point is premium and tank size I am assuming? They just up tiered an ELC with almost nothing to show? Maybe the gun dispersion stats are godlike? What am I missing?

    1. Its a specialist tank and they are probably catering to those who remember the prenerf ELC, such as myself. The playstyle that it offers with the low profile, high camo, “big gun” and decent mobility is pretty unique, though I am a returning player from like 5 years back so I am not up to date with all tanks.

    1. This is basically close to what tier 5 ELC was before it was nerfed to oblivion, except with worse heat.
      Prenerf ELC could pen IS3 front hull.

  2. This tank looks to be balance, but I thank some thing need to change a little. Firepower is good on damage, pen, reload, aim time, gun traverse limits, and elevation/ depression. The shell velocity on all shell should be the same, accuracy need to be 0.36 to be better then the AMX ELC Bis that is 0.38 (at least have it the same). Mobility is perfect as it is, so no changes need. Survivability is also perfect, unless they want to give it more view range (JK). the only thing we don’t know is the Dispersion factors (I don’t really care what they do, as long as they don’t be stupid about it), terrain resistance ( cant be worst then the Bis), and the armor model (it doesn’t matter what it is, the tank is a Auto-pen with AP/APCR).

  3. So… They took the post-nerf ELC bis and made it tier 6 ? Looks bad. Pre-nerf ELC in tier 6 definitely could work.
