Lert: One of the prototypes / variants of what would become the AMX ELC
was the ELC Even 30:
It was basically an early ELC chassis with an ugly
oscillating pedestal type turret on top with two 30mm Hispano Suiza
HS825 cannons and two 7.62mm machine guns. The ELC Even was intended for
AA and anti-infantry use. However, with limited elevation its AA
capabilities were suspect at best. The Hispano Suiza HS825 guns
were designed for aircraft use, but not much information is
available about them. Just that they fired a 30x136 cartridge and
were belt-fed.
The Luchs and Leopard show that a 30mm autocannon armed tank
would be viable in this game. However, the German MK103 autocannon
in those tanks fired a much more powerful 30x184 cartridge.
I think the ELC Even would make a viable tier 4 light tank. What it
would lack in firepower it would make up in stealth and with its
twin 30mm autocannons it would still rip softer tanks to ribbons.
Although the HS825 was considerably less punchy than the MK103, the
Pz I C proves that you don't need hundreds of millimeters of
penetration to have fun, and the 30x136 would be considerably more
powerful than the 7.92x94 that the Pz I C carries.
