The T25 has had its stab removed why is it still 6.3 even with the Stab facing things like Tiger 2H or IS3 is VERY difficult i dont think it should face such matches its a upgraded sherman 76 not a demon should definetly be 6.0 (this is a T25)
what yall think should it get lowered you can discuss below
I think it should only realistically go down if the T20 goes down alongside it. They’re very similar machines, the T25 has a better gun and protection while the T20 has a stab and mobility. They’re both arguably better than the M4 with the Pershing turret.
In saying that, I wouldn’t mind Gaijin splitting the vehicle in two.
T25 Pilot #1 would be a new vehicle, basically readding the old stabiliser.
T25 Pilot #2 would be the current tech-tree vehicle with a visual update.
I gave my 2 cents on it in a suggestion for the T25E1 already. Short of the long is that it could go down pretty easily by just adjusting the ammunition selection.
but it doesnt need this to go down tho ? its arguebly very comparable to a panther just instead of being all armor frontally and none on side its more conservative with armor all the way around evenly
could easily be 6.0 in current config as the M36 is at 5.0 with same round and B2 with HEAT FS is 5.7
at its current br your forced to play like a light tank
id say its pretty similar to a T34-85 just with a slightly punchier gun and improved armor but not by a crazy amount 6.0 seems a fine br for it
I think it should get itself a new engine (i heard that the t25 got the worst possible prototype version) and get over with. Its main problem is mobility nowadays.
and with no mobiliy at all. Thats the problem. It can easilly keep 6.3 it it gets the decent engine. Cuz at 6.0 we now have the Shershing, and T25 doesnt look comparable with it tbh.
(i heard that the t25 got the worst possible prototype version)
It has the visual hull and tracks of T25 Pilot No.1, but the weight and turret of the Pilot No.2 prototype, making it essentially a Frankenstein tank of both, while lacking the gyrostabilizer of the Pilot No.2 as well.
and with no mobiliy at all. Thats the problem
The T25 has an electrical transmission and should actually be way more mobile than it currently is modelled in-game. It barely shows any difference in speed compared to its successor M26 Pershing, which is way heavier.
There is even a direct mention of the noticeably superior electric drive mobility of the T26 (a modified T25 with heavier armour) compared to later variants with the normal transmission, including the T26E1 and T26E3 (M26 was originally called this during WW2).
The 90mm gun is superior in penetration to the Tigers 88mm while reloading significantly faster than the 122mm.
It beats both tanks in gun depression and turret traverse speed and has an amazing reverse gear.
This makes the T25 much more adaptable to fight on various maps.
It also features an incredible strong gun mantlet making it very effective in hull down position.
Could it be stronger for 6.3? Sure.
Buff the reload to 6.7 or even 6s to make up for the tiny two round ready rack.
Even makes sense compared to something like a T-34-85, who has a bustle rack instead of vertically stored ammo.
I havent used it a whole lot because Jumbo Pershing is just better, but from what I have played I actually enjoyed it. I feel its fine at 6.3, its a bit better than the Tiger E and theres an argument for that to be 6.3
T25 is literally a upgraded T34-85 the only difference being the T25 just has slightly better armor and a better cannon T34-85 being 6.3 with stab and boosted round 5.7 without it
for those upgrades it has to face 6.7 heavys constantly and 7.3 super heavys
TIGER E literally beats it every time if hes good theres zero reason for this to be 6.3 when the panther is 6.0 which has better armor and a almost equal gun
