| ELC EVEN NA2 SS-12 - Tank Review | World of Tanks Modern Armor |

[@Rikitikitave]

This tank is free so it torpedos the notion WG do this for money. It baffles me. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@toby7504]

Another reason for leaving my era2 tanks in the garage until further notice.

[@Belly6815]

Literally just thought the same thing, they want era 2 dead it would appear. Sad times, luckily I’m enjoying WW2 mode at the moment lol

[@CliffNark]

Era 2 will never be decent again

[@bathin7941]

cold war never was. its always been a lemming. the only strat is just ride with everyone. if you are alone you always get jumped.

[@habu69]

It’s obvious to me that war gaming is encouraging co-op battles and not multiplayer.

[@itsSwainson1996]

Please explain what benefit that would bring to the game 🙄

[@avia006]

11:40 - what about to find a place within those houses around where it will be a problem for ELC to pen because of minimum arm distance? + Use your True Vision to see what is happening around you... Or take cover within hills or something like this... We're not playing on Minecraft Flat Maps) Just because AMX don't know how to play against ATGM-only tank with min arm distance 100 m - doesn't mean, that ELC is free in any situation... Plus, he probably heard how you were trying to kill him from the left side from his position but didn't even changed his tactic. One of the scenario: • You found perfect place around houses and where distance between them are less than 100m. • Checking corners in front of you, from where ELC could try to shot from(!) the distance like you just did before and missed at 11:17 • Even if he will - use cover. 370m/s of ATGM is still enough for you to take cover. • So ELC will have to wait for you to make another mistake, or will go closer. • ELC will shoot, and IMMEDIATELY will become spotted. • So AMX could just do his "R1 + R2" thing(or use hands to kill him with free-aim) and say goodbye to ELC... Why you all in your reviews not analysing how your enemies playing too? P.S. Funny thing, but yesterday I tried to kill you on ELC with my ELC on Airfield, but somehow my 660mm of penetration didn't let me do any demage to you TWICE in a row, so I even started to believe in a "YT-Shield", because few matches ago I wasn't been able to hit ItsRhobbyRhino...🗿

[@aridsquirrel]

@@beaumoses4414 smooth brain comment with no reading comprehension

[@danceswithmules]

It's worth mentioning that the ELC's ability to carry is also map-dependent. Campinburg is a wonderful playground for it, but things go a bit pear-shaped on maps like Mountain Pass.

[@Rikitikitave]

I thought the same as you then I carried a game on Mountain Pass, hence me mentioning that map.

[@Armchair.extraordinaire-bo5mv]

War gaming is really on roll to destroy E2 permanently. If they do something to E1 i think it's over for them. That's the last bastion of what ever balance this whole game has left.

[@aridsquirrel]

@Armchair.extraordinaire-bo5mv you know the majority of players don't care one bit for Cold War and play WW2. Amongst veterans it's known as Clown Wars

[@Armchair.extraordinaire-bo5mv]

@aridsquirrel I am a veteran, started when it was released on the 360. Played a long time and quite before cw was released. Am a unicum. WW2 became slow motion trash and still is. E1 is the best this game has ever been balanced wise. Cold war is better than the WW2. Many don't like cold war because they have no safety blanket to hide with. You actually have to use the correct camo and positioning. WW2 is brain dead.

[@aridsquirrel]

@Armchair.extraordinaire-bo5mv 🤣 I think it's you who is braindead if you think ColdWar is more strategic than WW2... you'd like NASCAR

[@papillon5537]

Era2 has completely destroyed, once it was my favorite era .

[@aridsquirrel]

@@papillon5537 destroyed in your opinion, lots of others love it, it's my favourite at the moment

[@saberdead7308]

Your video is a great example of why 1. Fire on the move ATGM is too powerful 2. Passive concealment boost from smoke is too powerful It might help if community contributors talked in terms of systemic game mechanics that make tanks toxic instead of individual tanks.

[@FlippDogg75]

I can't hate it due to it levels the field for free to play players out there.

[@wommyrudolph]

Even after the weasel I still played a little bit of era 2 though I avoided it, now because if this I don't play era 2 at all... and two of the only tanks that I have marks on are both era 2. Wargaming really screwed up on this one

[@Rockerrobin]

Lol my brother just got the Wiesle in one of the Christmas chests as I was watching this.

[@rylovaako4397]

Currently the worst tank with ATGM’s in the game, Pathetic 100m minimum arm distance, tank is too slow to create a 100m distance between it and anyone chasing it, Low 690mm of penetration, it’s bounced so many shots off the Wiesel 1 MK and OBJ 120 etc, it has no gun depression, and very poor gun elevation, the light tanks are far better with a minimum arm distance of 65M and penetration of 800m, I’ve nearly 2 marked this tank and I’m a SuperUnicum with 10 years experience so don’t even try with the get good with me, the devs and super testers should be ashamed of themselves for releasing a crap tanks like this right before Christmas, save yourself 30,000 snowballs and don’t bother.

[@R95Q]

I completely agree with you I was watching this video thinking what a load of bulshit 😂😂 this is what happens when you get shit players to create a tank as a super uni 10 year vet why can't we be given the freedom to actually create a good tank or at least a fun tank and then we rely on these shit moron's that are sucking wargaming's dick trying to sell this utter trash to us I like the ELC but the weasel is a serious problem for this thing.

[@bathin7941]

i mean this replay made it look like nothing is stronger than this

[@rylovaako4397]

@ KZbin edits and real life experiences are two different things, you’ll be lucky to get 1 out of 10 good games in this, almost 4 (Gold) marked my RaketenJagdPanzer 2 and that’s a far better tank.

[@bathin7941]

@@rylovaako4397 that maybe but i think its a better choice on snow balls rather than the 283.

[@rylovaako4397]

@@bathin7941 Don’t get me wrong, it’s a tank you can essentially earn for free, I’m just disappointed with it especially right Christmas, don’t forget to buy a toy tank with snowballs as you’ll get 10,000 snowballs this Tuesday as a thank you for doing so.

[@duanetapp1280]

Stopped playing ERA 2 not long after the Weasel came out, now we have this in the game. So when the next tec tree comes out how many players are going to try and complete it, I will complete ERA 1 and stop. It’s like the ERA 3 Weasel for a small tank it carries a large number of missiles, must be like the TARDIS bigger inside😂

[@Armchair.extraordinaire-bo5mv]

Yeah i took a look at it, the missiles are almost as long as the tank, where is it carrying 24 more atgms so stupid.

[@kylegorf8180]

Yep, love Era 1 and only play Era 3 with the free premiums we've been given. No point grinding TT tanks past Era 1 any more.

[@Armchair.extraordinaire-bo5mv]

@@kylegorf8180 I made it down 2 TT lines to E3, but no more. I'm now doing the exact same thing you are. 👍🏻

[@Stroopwaffe1]

I usually play wot blitz but this looks great tbth.

[@Mistoffelees-MS]

Hey Riki, did you noticed that they changed something with the Thumper? Would you like to make a short video about that?

[@Rikitikitave]

Thumper is now a heavy and there have been some armour changes in Era 3 to make ATGMs less effective.

[@WithyBog]

I don't want to be that guy but it'd be better to compare it to the rocket panzer from the tech tree.

[@atreyudoomsday4161]

i love smoking these in my rakjag....especially unspotted ones that have that god awful icicle monster skin on

[@ThinkTank541]

Whats the path to grinding the most Snowballs?

[@Rikitikitave]

The build a tank challenge will net you 29k snowballs in total.

[@backwoodsbully9841]

I got this today and I suck in these type of tanks. I should have just picked up 5-3 star commanders!!

[@benjaminlopez0629]

I agreed with everything you said about this tanks ERA2 ain’t fun to play with weasels and eles roaming around freely you only see them when their shooting at u

[@amomentarygenius]

Riki forgets that the atgm masters who can actually use atgms on the move at 70kph is very few. So far my experience has been players playing the ELC Even like a traditional td. So either I get a surprise ammo rack or my T-72AV now knows where to return to sender. On that note, the recent buffs to the Western Alliance tanks has me wonder what they'll do to the Eastern Alliance equipped with e.r.a. in Era 2.

[@jhemp]

For real though idk how tf he does that. To be fair I've only started playing a few cold war matches recently because I keep somehow getting random premiums for it and loathe though I am to admit it, it is easier to clear a lot of the holiday challenges in cold war.

[@toby7504]

Easy to use in full speed. there is s nothing to it.

[@razzy_humor]

And the reasons to stop playing this game just increases more and more every time... that's so disappointing...

[@kevingonzales7499]

Right now its only available with snowballs

[@kenwood7656]

Reading the negative feedback that WG has had over 2024 I'm beginning to wonder at what point will WG actually comprehend what has been said, over and over again on the "toxic " vehicles released this year. So lets release a free one. They ALL bring NOTHING to the game.

[@irokese4124]

So WG launched a toxic tank to „nerf“ a toxic tank? Again a stupid approach by WG. „Da beißt sich die Katze in den Schwanz“, like we say in German.

[@kevingonzales7499]

I have to disagree a bit about the weasel, it can be a real pain, but in games ive been in with it, Weasels have not been ruling the batlle and the toxicity is not that bad.

[@DolfVaderNZ]

You're a Wizz with atgms and lights. The tanks good, you make it insane.

[@Rikitikitave]

Well thank you. Getting the result I did made me feel it was more the tank than me though.

[@worldofrng8304]

@@Rikitikitave you have to remember though that the elc will not be nearly as oppressive as the swarms of prenerf and post nerf wiesel 1's because you cannot just autolock and fire without thinking. You actually need to aim ATGMs at least...

[@Rikitikitave]

@ that is correct but the issue I take with that stance is the Wiesel is your baseline. The ELC won’t be as bad but that doesn’t make it ok. These toxic tanks are going to skew what the community thinks is toxic.

[@worldofrng8304]

@@Rikitikitave I never said that the Wiesel is baseline... from my experience playing era 2 today and yesterday I really havent had a problem with the ELC in my games, unlike the Wiesel. To make your point better though you 100% should of compared the ELC to the rakt.panzer instead, because it proves that the ELC is just blatant powercreep as it is just better in every way.

[@bathin7941]

OK this looks too OP. but i am assuming this is whats needed. maybe these will calm down the hectic way cold war is. theoretically it might make people just pop their head and look around with true vision before making moves

[@jonathanresendiz8212]

You can get it for free, after grinding out chest and the mission for 10k snowballs and the advent calendar gave us 2k the other day ,so don't complain you can earn this $50+ tank for free and also be a nuisance like every other atgm tank 😎👍

[@hunter_0221]

...what is this game? I've legit never heard about it, and I've been playing WoT for 11 years. With long breaks, so that could be the reason why

[@andrewwilson8840]

The only hope with the ELC is that the player requires skill! ATGMS are not auto cannons on auto lock so fingers crossed it will only be dangerous in skilled players hands. Oh forgot to say GG!!!

Hi all. I don't play cold war at all but it looks like it's no different. Same story with stupid tank T249 Black. No point to play tier 8 to 10 so I dropped to tier 6. People can say that I'm seal clubbing but for play for free players it looks like only way to still have some fun 😁 Happy Christmas everyone 🎄 And OP presents 🎁 not toxic 😅

[@ThatRyan10]

These problem vehicles are always a product of tanks being able to exploit/take the game mechanics to the extreme. The ELC and both wiesels are a problem due them having extreme camo (abusing the camo mechanics) with heaps of firepower, the OBJ 477A is the extreme when it comes to armour. As frontally, it's impenetrable and having to fire HE at it to only splash it to death after 100 shots is a poor excuse for a solution. Tanks like the Monsterjager and GAU-8 are the extreme for dps. They have the ability to rip off chunks of health in just a few seconds. Every tank that is capable of reaching the extreme ends of the game mechanics turns out toxic, because it's impossible to be "balanced" in this game if something can do that. For comparison, something like the new STRV leopard 2A5 lookalike has had no complaints...because it doesn't reach any of these extremes. Anyway...moan over. I feel like that's all i do nowadays when it comes to tanks. Just a shame it's so easy to do 🥲

[@aridsquirrel]

You can pen 477 easily from the front if your gun has enough pen, people need to learn how to aim and stop autolocking targets

[@cityzen69]

ELC is a Rak but more small and better dissimulation

[@AsgardsTyr]

The tank is really fun. I love it. 🥰 Nice match!👍

[@aridsquirrel]

Good video! I have to disagree with all the complaints though. Things naturally evolve as the game grows, and these new tanks are actually great for the meta. They’re bringing back tactics and making heavies relevant again. Instead of the NASCAR-style rush CW has turned into, these tanks force players to slow down and think more strategically. It’s refreshing to see the game shift back towards positioning and teamwork instead of mindless speed. Change can be a good thing!

[@iwanhoogendoorn2183]

As the game grows....joker! it is not Growing, it is in Slow decay.. And tanks like this are not good for the game at all. The game is in a sad state compared to years ago. Game balance is poor, both in WW2 and era's 2 and 3. Also the playerbase has drop a lot since 6.0.

[@CliffNark]

Some heavies have become more relevant because Era 2 is now a cesspool of unfair light tanks that just shred/missile anything that doesn't have decent ERA/NERA coverage. These tanks are anything but good for the game's health

[@aridsquirrel]

@iwanhoogendoorn2183 I stopped playing for a year after 6.0. Old players leave, new players arrive, The player count is steady. Do you even look at the numbers? The game is growing- more content = growing

[@toby7504]

You joking right? This thing is a yolo tank. It brings another level of yolo headless play into the game. Nothing positive what so ever

[@aridsquirrel]

@toby7504 no I'm not 'jokining' whatever that means. The yoloers end up dead early, adapt to the times or get left behind

[@burgboy2459]

I’m convinced you hate anything fun they bring to the game because everything fun you call toxic. It’s called change and adapt to the new play style I’m still having great matches in era 2.

I'm going to start complaining about this tank since everyone hates on the weisel 😂 this tank is OP too tiny and blah blah turret blah blah has too good concealment and it green 😂😂 the weisel is NOT op people need to pay attention that is all. Weisel is hard to drive & control since a tree can kill it !!!!! a hill can kill it You are moaning about rubbish in my opinion, if you take in to account the difficulty of the weisel to play and how ALL TEAM MATES treat people in a weisel it's disgusting treat your team mates fairly EVEN IF THEY ARE IN A WEISEL !!!!!!

With the kind of plays a Weisel can pull, it's a good thing it is more easily punished

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.594]

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.594]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 BS you are just blind and don't pay attention when playing game. like I said before it's a difficult tank to drive unless you have one you wouldn't know that and that's why you are hating it. No other reason , if you had one you would not be crying like a baby.

[@Armchair.extraordinaire-bo5mv]

Yeah and you buying and supporting this nonsense and everyone else is what will ultimately kill the game off. It'll be nothing but bots till lights get turned off.

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.594]

I use the weisel for spotting I HELP MY TEAM MATES , yet players like you do not want help and spotted tanks get left untouched because you are hating a tank following the masses. Instead of giving EVERY weisel player a chance and remembering the names of the ones that play fair you put all of us in the same category. I spot giving my team mates points and XP , after a while I claim a kill as reward for my SPOTTING for my TEAM MATES. I do not play toxic and YOLO the enemy and waste my ammo, I do not hog all the kills.

[@toby7504]

Wiesel deserve all the hate towards it.
