This tank has been done so dirty. Lost it's stab, got it's transmission nerfed into the ground, and got moved from 5.7 (where it was admittedly kinda OP, though not much more than the Panther or Centurion Mk. I) all the way to 6.3. It's unresponsive, never reaches it's maximum top speed, the armor (despite the poor mobility) is practically useless against anything other than SPAAs head on, and the American M3 90mm is kind of disappointing. The biggest redeeming quality on this thing is that the roof pintle mount for the .50 cal is (surprisingly) modeled correctly, with almost perfectly vertical elevation and 360 degrees of rotation.
Yeah but thats gaijin reasoning. Take a vehicle that is borderline ok at say 5.7 & move it to 6.. with gaijin’s meta of uptiered matches 90% of the time that tank is no completely useless. In uptiers but that’s ok
I remember when the T25 was 5.7 with a stabilizer. It was SOOOOO good back then. Then the snail moved it to 6.3, no one liked it there but okay, but then the snail removed the stabilizer and left it at 6.3.... After watching this video, I gave it a drive and almost got a nuke with it. Over all I agree with your review. Great video!
90mm APCR is actually pretty effective. It’s still solid shot but it has good velocity and high penetration. Almost a year ago I played the tank due to people arguing that it’s not good enough for 6.3 and I used APCR exclusively in a few matches to compare the results and I got around the same amount of kills per game as with APHE. So while APHE is preferable, the APCR can be very handy against some targets. Of course when I played it, it didn’t even have first stage ammo.
yeah the apcr is decent and can frontally pen a panthers hull one of the few instances of apcr performing better against a angled surface compared to its parent aphe shell
Ride Stab => Life good Gaijin Nerf => Dig Grave for T25😢 I'm sorry, old reliable. You were one of my best, but now I can't bear seeing you stoop so low. It's time for retirement. The tank already is so slow, but the gun and stab is what made it my RP grinder up to 7.3. Not anymore.
If by ruined you mean balanced and no longer better than everyone else, yeah sure. Always funny when people loss their minds when they no longer can play a vehicle that is better than everyone else’s.
I'm grinding 6.3 usa right now and that's the realest opinion I've heard it's still a good tank (a slow one though) and if you know where to aim the only thing you can't kill in a single shot in this thing is a tiger 2 (you can still capula it) and some soviet heavy tank in an uptier
I agree fully... stock is a special hell, but past that it forces you to play slower and smarter so you can end up with better games ironically because they nerfed it's speed so badly.
The T25 used to be at 5.7 and it was a MONSTER, absolutley shredding Tiger 1s, Panthers, and T34-85s. It had a great stabilizer and was a little bit more mobile, making it a great brawler. Then it got nerfed into the ground and raised in BR. Now the T25 is a slower M26 with less armor at only 0.3 br below it.
T25 is straight trash now. Used to be 6.0 with stabilizer and was my favorite american tank, the goat. Now at 6.3 and with no stabilizer, its fuckin damn near unplayable garbage.
the rank IV american mediums are a joke.. there is no reason whatsoever to take them because the heavies are just better.. the only thing the mediums have going for them is speed, but they are also slow af so that doesn't matter

once upon a time, this tank had access to gyro stab :(, these were such good times man
Yeah this tank gets shafted a lot.
And was 5.7

Excellent summary!
The gun was good. Along with the stab it made me choose it over the 76 jumbo.
Yeah I could swear that this tank used to be way faster

Its an M26 that went on a diet basically.
What if that tank was black or Chinese?

fun fact:
you can drive it backwards into the battle, making it extremely survivable.
Used to be a very strong tank, when it had its stabilizer and a lower BR. And then Gaijin totally ruined it
If by ruined you mean balanced and no longer better than everyone else, yeah sure.

@@kimjanek646if by balanced you mean way overtiered because of the stab removal yeah its pretty balanced
@@9tr0n If it had the stab, it would now be 6.7 like the M26.
@@kimjanek646 and without the stab it should be 6.0
@@9tr0n Can't because it's a better Tiger E
Can you do M46 it's a proper mbt with amazing engine and mobility. It's like a Sports car
I came here for dat guitar lick 1:30
Nice new editing mate!

They removed the stabilizer
Should i skip 6.3 and go straight to 6.7?
my last game on a day before the nerf losing the short stab was glorious, 20 kills. going up in down on a hill hull down gaming

Seems like the bell is not enough as i have not been informed by youtube that you posted a video
Trying to remember if i've ever tried Naval battles... or if what i remember is just what i've watched thru Twitch
I waited for this so long
The t25 might be the worst tank ive ever used. Bad armour, mid gun and horrible mobility. This tank wouldnt even be considered op at 5.7

wait, did they change the ammo rack? It got nerfed again? lmaoooo
6:36 what was the team doing? That caused you to write something like that?
They where shooting and pushing each other at respawn :D
WOOH he uploaded
keep it up bro
T25 is straight trash now. Used to be 6.0 with stabilizer and was my favorite american tank, the goat. Now at 6.3 and with no stabilizer, its fuckin damn near unplayable garbage.
Everyday a different reason NOT to play Warthunder... Crews take forever to train...
Please teach me HowToPlay.
Am I psychopath if I drive it backwards?
Yes
hi like your content
Nice 😆
The t25 and m26 eat king tigers for breakfast but people just dont know how to play them and complain instead
Based
No they don't.
@@Hazztech Someone doesn't know

Average war thunder tank that got punished for unforgiveable sins (being american)
7:18 did you actually call it gayplay instead of gameplay? 😂
This tank should be 5.7: no armour, meh mobiity, no stabalizer. Never should have been uptiered like this. Just like the M26 Pershing at 6.7...
Owo
