Elephants were the then equivalent of the Tank on a modern battlefield. Unfortunately for Hannibal he lost most of his elephants in crossing the Alps so they were not a factor in his success.

They were never a major factor in wars in Europe against the Romans when used by the Carthaginians and later on by the Greeks.
When in history were war elephants used?
Hannibal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Several ancient generals used elephants. Hannibal is the best known. His army of 80,000 was reduced to 20,000 by death or desertion in crossing the Alps, but he preserved his force of thirty forest elephants; a small species species of elephant which later became extinct, probably from destruction of its habitat and its use in warfare. * The Romans had already faced elephants when they fought against Pyrrhus, and twenty-nine of Hannibal's elephants were killed in the Battle of Trebia. * India gave Carthage one Indian elephant as a gift, but without breeding pairs they were unable to replinish their stock of elephants. * At the Battle of Zama, Hannibal's forces included fifty wild African elephants, but Scipio opened gaps in his line to let them charge through harmlessly.
