- Infantry based AT weapons
- AT Guns
- Overwhelm with multiple tank destroyers at once (example, attacking with 3 SU85 simultaneously while activating mark target would be an easy win)
- Flanking the Elefant successfully with a single tank
- Ramming the Elefant with a T34, and using Soviet airplane bombs to kill it
- A combination of the above tactics
Example: I played vs Siddolio (rank 5 Ostheer in 2v2 random) in 2v2 on Crossing in the Woods (a great map for Elefant since its so small, with predictable attack paths). He had an Elefant with a PaK40 covering it, and his teammate had a Panther.
When the panther was back repairing, I send 1 cromwell BEHIND the Elefant's position (by driving it near the outside fuel, then hugging the back of the map)
The Cromwell got behind the Elefant, forcing it to turn SLOWLYYYYYYYYY and not allowing it to shoot
at the same time (since the cromwell is so fast and the Elefant turns so slowly)
While behind the Elefant, the Cromwell killed a Panzerwerfer and decrewed a Pak (cromwell just parked behind useless Elefant)
Cromwell then opened fire on the Elefant, which is still turning, while the teammate sees and rushes his tank to support
While all this is happening, my two Fireflies and my teammates SU85 have moved down the middle of the map. The elefant, now atrociously out of position since its been turning to target the Cromwell, was taken down in 3-4 seconds from focus fire from the tank destoyers.
Siddolio then quit the game
As you can see, there are so many ways to counter it ... but you will have to practice the game before the ways become easier to execute, and more obvious to see while in game.
