In 1955, the French Ministry of Defense launched the ELC (Engin Léger de Combat) project. The aim was to create a heavily armed but light armored fighting vehicle capable of rapid deployment by air transport. The ELС AMX prototype featured a low silouette and a turret placement of both crew members. The vehicle never saw mass production, nor entered service.
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. While it has laughable armor, it is very fast and quite maneuverable and its high damage, high penetration 90mm gun makes it an awesome hit and run vehicle. Unlike most lights, however, it does not have a fully rotating turret, meaning circling enemies is much more difficult.
It is very light and has a good engine, giving it amazing acceleration, with 37hp/t, and has no problem reaching its top speed of 65km/h and maintaining it. Use your maneuverability to your advantage, even if your turret can`t traverse all the way, you can still perform flanking maneuvers. Even if you survive a shot from an enemy tank, chances are, your tracks or engines are heavily damaged, your duty as a scout will end. Keep in mind, that even if your traverse modules are damaged, you can still become support, and in some cases, flank. The ELC AMX leads to the AMX 12 t. [Source: worldoftanks wiki]
