Main reward is a 6.0 heat slinger? Yikes. I guess there is not enough of those at mid-tier

Now would be a good time to finally give the ELC its missing ability to 360° traverse its turret traverse while stationary

Oooo Royal French ship flag, damnit now I must contend with the French naval flag & it on non FNFL ships (those ships carry the FNFL flag currently).

assuming the french tank is the paid option and the plane is free
really wanted a premium for france to speed it up, sadge
Do you really want a realistic application of that? ie; no movement without the turret being in the front 30 degree arc?
A system similar to the M901 would be good, when it starts moving, the turret automatically sets itself to the forward position but can still be traversed 15± left or right to maintain some level of traverse. Or if Gaijin can’t do that just make the turret traverse 360° no matter if stationary or driving. Not very realistic however, the VEAK 40 which has a driver in the turret, similar to the ELC and ELC Bis can already do this, which also isn’t very realistic.

I would like to see some improvements. For example, if you already have all four vehicles from the Battle Trophy in Past Vehicles, you should receive a box that lets you open any previous boxes for vehicles you don’t yet own.

You’re missing out. More ELC BIS for me.
So I hate the 30(!) kills at a speed of at least 30km/h - I will skip this.
as a frequent naval player the torpedo kills task is very easy for me

maybe I’ll actually grind 10 medals and get an unique plane
Have fun!
ELC bis is actually the 4th worst vehicle at 6.0 BR in kills/spawn in Ground Arcade (where I play) according to StatShark (26th out of 29 vehicles).
The ELC 901 will probably be at the same BR:
compared to the E.L.C. bis: it has an entirely different armour profile, no smoke grenades, half the turret rotation speed, a little less ammo, 2.4 tons lighter, 164 horsepower instead of 180, 59.9 and -7.66 km/h max speeds instead of 80.06 and -34.81, no artillery but has airstrike

Damn. this is painfully mid
Remember when the BP had 4 new, unique, and fun vehicles. Yeah those were good times.

There is the issue. Rat tanks don’t do too well in arcade

There are also some good sides. The plane is free, so everyone has to ask themselves whether it’s worth paying 2000 GE (about €10) for the ELC 901.
I used to like two things about Battle Passes: interesting vehicles and backups. Right now, backups aren’t a problem since you get free ones daily. I don’t care about SL (I have 108M SL currently), boosters, decorations, or orders.
So what does this BP offer me? A vehicle that’s pretty much unplayable, and you still have to pay and grind to get it. Does that sound like a good deal?
Basically, this just means I’ll save myself a lot of time and some money.
It’s 19th in Ground Realistic. I wouldn’t really call that good. If you want a good light tank, just try the M18 at the exact same BR.
no meatballs decorations ???:(
Or forfeit 200 extra Warbonds ;-)
