It does depend on the civ that has the elephant. The Khmer defeat an halb in 3 hits, which means that halbediers will do probably 2 hits. For other civs, it takes 4 hits to defeat the halb, so the halb might do 3 hits if it has the first hit.

Actually, the Viking Pikeman shines against Elite battle Elephants, since it takes an extra hit and dealss 51(+5 for chieftains) attack, which is only 23% less (15% with chieftains).
