[Client Values; Actual values in
Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

The Bat.-Châtillon 25 t AP is a French tier 9 medium tank.

In 1950–1951, engineers of the FAMH company (Compagnie des forges et aciéries de la marine et d'Homécourt) worked on the development of a medium tank with a 90-mm gun and a rotating turret. Work was discontinued at the preliminary design stage. Later, all elements of the vehicle were incorporated in the Batignolles-Châtillon 25 t tank.

Replaced Lorraine 40 t in 9.15.1 patch. This tank was called "S*itChat" as it was a less powerful version of BatChat 25t. This tank can played as scout or played as damage dealer. Unfortunately, its inaccurate, slow-loading gun (Even by Autoloader standards) were hampered its overall performance, thus required more caution while playing this tank.

The Bat.-Châtillon 25 t AP leads to the Bat.-Châtillon 25 t.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Very high burst damage (1800 average if all six shots penetrate)
  • Very good mobility, high top speed and good acceleration
  • Fairly small profile, good camouflage values


Cons:


  • Very long clip reload, long cycling between shells
  • Subpar gun handling and long aimtime
  • Virtually unarmored, relies entirely on concealment
  • Very fragile engine module
  • Somewhat low ammo capacity


Performance

Despite being classed as a medium, for all intents and purposes the BatChat 25t AP should still be considered a light tank - it is fairly small and light, and essentially unarmored. Any source of damage, especially HE penetrations and ramming, can deal severe damage, and to further complicate things the tank's internal modules are very weak, especially the front-mounted engine.

Mastering this tank is about being cautious and opportunistic. Given the very good concealment ratings this tank can achieve, early game it is possible to perform passive scouting to gather intel for the team and farm assist damage. Do remember that you are a MEDIUM tank though, and your camo on the move is not as good as your stationary camo. With good cover and positioning however, it is possible to be as good a passive scout as a true light tank would be.

Like other French autoloaders, this tank comes alive the more it manages to survive, which is where the "opportunistic" comes into play. A BatChat 25t AP with a full clip can unload an average of 1800 points of damage with one clip, plenty to destroy a full health Tier 8 heavy tank or even a Tier 9 medium tank (or at the very least, severely damage them). Always plan ahead, have an escape route always available, and make every shot count as your ammo capacity is fairly low (you have a maximum of seven full clip reloads per battle). If possible, try and trade your full clip for one return shot from the enemy and no more. Still, it is also possible to play this tank from long range, though as with most French guns, the accuracy can leave much to be desired at times. Never, ever attempt to brawl - you might have the firepower, but not the survivability to survive such close encounters.

Overall, the BatChat 25t AP is a good set of training wheels to prepare players for its successor, the Tier 10 BatChat 25t. Key skills to learn while playing this tank include when to stay hidden, when and where to relocate, and when to ambush an enemy. Always rely on allies to distract enemies before going for them (or running from them) and never seek a fair fight.

Historical Accuracy Errata

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

The name “B-C 25 t AP” is supposed to suggest it’s a prototype of the B-C 25 t, which itself is contradictory since you can’t really have a prototype of a prototype. A more accurate name would be FAMH 25 t, as this is quite literally said company’s design.
  • HEAT is actually the standard ammunition of the 90 mm F3 gun. The AP and APCR rounds are fake.
