E-25



The E-25 is a tier VII German premium tank destroyer. It is available from the tech tree for 6700 gold. The E-25 is known for its extreme mobility, camouflage, fire rate, and accuracy, though this comes at a cost of armor, penetration, and alpha damage.

Note: stats not final, likely inaccurate due to being pulled from PC version. This is a trial mockup and may see a total rework.

Recommended Crew Skills
The E-25 is a premium tank, and so it should ideally be training a crew from a different tank. Nevertheless, the idea skill order for an E-25 is as follows.
 * 1) Sixth Sense
 * 2) Camouflage
 * 3) Brothers in Arms
 * 4) Deadeye
 * 5) Situational Awareness
 * 6) Recon
 * 7) Clutch Braking
 * 8) Off-Road Driving

The Good

 * Astonishing fire rate and DPM
 * Superb accuracy
 * Mobility to match, and even surpass, some light tanks
 * Excellent camouflage
 * High skill ceiling
 * Minuscule stature can make it impossible to hit when adjacent to an enemy

The Bad

 * Lowest alpha damage of tier VII tank destroyers
 * Poor penetration
 * Low ammo capacity
 * Susceptible to high explosive penetrations

The Ugly

 * High skill floor
 * Mobility and lack of armor makes it easy to overextend
 * Artillery will almost always overmatch your armor and do full damage
 * Difficult to play on uneven terrain
 * Will run out of ammunition after only 3 minutes of constant fire

Playstyle
The E-25 is a bizarre vehicle that plays like a cross between a Crusader and an ELC AMX. Because of its great accuracy, mobility, and gun handling, it can always be in a good position to support its team. It takes a competent player to identify where that position is as the map flows, so this tank won't automatically win matches. Lay in to distracted enemies that underestimate your fire rate, as most enemies will ignore the first two shots, only to panic about shots three and beyond.

Care must be taken to avoid being shot by high-alpha guns and enemies using HE shells. Take special care around tanks like the KV-2, SU-152, ISU-152, and Rheinmetall-Borsig Waffenträger. Artillery is a dire threat to this tank, so play arty safe.

Editor's Comments
This thing is fucking awesome. Almost OP. They removed it from PC for a variety of reasons, one of which is that as stated: it's almost OP. If it were a tech tree tank, they'd need to give it a better gun, one with more penetration. That'd probably be the 75mm L/100. That would look fucking hilarious. A square lollipop driving around the battlefield. Hell, it'd look like a chocolate bar with a straw stuck in the side.

It may one day be removed from the Xbox version. I recommend buying it at the next major sale, even if you don't play many German tanks.

Goddamnit Chimp. Although, yes, it does now remind me of a cockroach.
