The Elco remains virtually unchanged from Midway. Its speed is slightly slower, but it is now more akin to the Gyoraitei, which has had a few firepower increases itself. A general torpedo change now dictates that Elcos can no longer rapid fire torpedoes - it takes about half a second between torpedo shots now. Elcos are still vulnerable to machine gun fire, and against any competent pilot are sitting ducks. The machine guns seem slightly less accurate in Pacific. Elcos, being cheap to employ in Island Capture, are often sent to capture nearby islands. Their torpedoes are then turned on enemy warships when they appear. | The Elco remains virtually unchanged from Midway.

Elcos and | Elcos and Gyoraiteis both provide a lot of firepower for their price. En-masse, they can easily sink battleships. If their island is threatened and you have a lot of points to spend, consider buying a large swarm of Elcos and have them turn their torpedoes onto the enemy warship. | ||
'''Official Description:''' ''There are several PT (Patrol Torpedo) boat designs in service with the US Navy, but the most common one is the 80 foot long model built by the Elco Boat Company of New Jersey. These are sleek, very fast boats, well-armed with torpedoes, depth charges and 20mm antiaircraft guns, and are capable of engaging any target, be it in the air, on the sea or below it. However, they are very vulnerable to enemy fire, particularly machine gun fire, and are best employed to harass enemy merchant shipping or in an anti-submarine role.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''There are several PT (Patrol Torpedo) boat designs in service with the US Navy, but the most common one is the 80 foot long model built by the Elco Boat Company of New Jersey.
