- Low maximum damage (175 in average) compared to other tier 7 vehicles
Performance
Overall, the E-25 should be played as a very mobile sniper. Distance is your friend, mostly because of your very poor armour, but also because you sport top accuracy, allowing you to hit weakpoints even at distance. If danger approaches, use your speed to flee. If help is needed elsewhere, you can assist swiftly. But never try to hold a position by yourself: you are simply not suited for such role.
Your gun has an extremely high RoF, which allows you to deal consistent damage against exposed enemies. If you manage to detrack a tank, you'll be able to keep him stuck there until an enemy chases you off. Your low penetration means that you'll have trouble penetrating a bunch of Tier VII tanks, and most Tier VIII. Luckily, your accuracy should allow you to hit weakspoints.
E-25 features an impressive 26.62 hp/t ratio, making it quite fast, and allowing you to reach positions quickly, as well as climb into some hard to reach locations only light tanks normally can reach. Your speed also allows you to flee and relocate swiftly, which is something you shouldn't think twice about when the situation calls for it. This speed and agility allows you to play like a turretless medium tank with atrocious DPM. Flanking distracted enemies allow you to hit their generally poor rear armour, allowing your ridiculous DPM to cripple any tank withing a minute.
Your armour is unfortunately quite poor. With some luck you'll bounce Tier V tanks, but that's mostly it. You should never depend on it. As said before, DO NOT try to hold a position by yourself. You may emerge victorious on a 1v1 situation, but a second tank will already be enough to have you killed.
An interesting feature of the E-25 is its low height. Not only does it provide an extremely good camouflage rating, but it also allows you to hug some tanks and make them unable to hit you. An interesting, but quite risky move, is to head in and hug a heavy tank from its side. You won't be able to hit it, but neither will it. In the meantime, your allies should be able to kill him (of course the opposite applies as well, this should be done only when you are sure no other enemies can hit you).
Essentially, the E-25 excels as a support sniper. This is a supporting tank. Most times you won't be doing the heavy work, but you'll be supporting as much as you can. That's you role, that's your strong point. Take advantage of your mobility, get into good sniping positions, and fire away at what your team spots. Use your camouflage to hide when the enemies spot and focus on you. Help where assistance is needed, flee when the situation becomes dire. Try to always keep your distance from the enemy. The E-25 may not be the best money maker, it may not have the best DPM, alpha nor penetration, but it's probably one of the most entertaining tanks to use, especially when used properly.
