Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very high top speed and very good acceleration; can equip Removed Speed Governor for temporary boost
- Good ramming capabilities
- 37mm automatic gun can be absolutely deadly against other light tanks/artillery/paper TDs, as although penetration is low the
Cons:
- Inadequate penetration and alpha damage for all it's guns.
- View range is poor especially when facing higher tier tanks; worst view range out of all the tier 6 light tanks
- Slows down a lot when going over fences or houses due to a "flat" track design
- 37mm automatic gun has insanely long reloading time
Performance
The MT-25 can be a very effective scout killer, but such role is very niche thanks to the scout-based matchmaking (which as of 0.9.4 allows it to enter tier-8 matches). It is too big for the most effective passive scouting, and has not quite enough agility for active scouting (you can still do this with clutch braking trained). Just like the Tetrarch, when the MT-25 moves over obstacles (fences, brick walls, etc.) it rapidly decelerates because of the way the suspension is designed.
The MT-25's guns are largely considered ineffective when compared to those of its opponents. The 57 mm ZiS-4 has decent accuracy but lacks both penetration and damage. Perhaps the most amusing/enjoyable way to use/grind this tank is by using the 37mm automatic gun. It lacks accuracy, and has atrocious penetration values, even with APCR ammunition, but the massive clip capacity means that it can potentially do 1200 damage per clip, insane for tier 6. It's mainly effective for killing other light tanks, artillery, or in some cases TDs. Consider this the ultimate opportunitist/gun and run tank. Look for lowly armored targets that you can sneak to, unload your deadly clip, and run away using the very quick acceleration and speed of the tank. Alternatively, if they are in another light tank or a light TD, you can finish them with a ram many times due to quick speed and fairly heavy weight. Early on in the game before you do this, try to do passive scouting or mainly active scouting. Although view range and camo are outclassed, the speed allows you to quickly get to positions or duck from cover to cover before other rival scouts and you can help your team a lot.
Early Research
- The 57 mm ZiS-4 Gun carries over from the T-28. However, you can't mount it without upgrading the turret. Instead mount the 37 mm automatic SH-37 from the T-46.
- First, research the T-34M mod. 1941 Turret.
- Next, research the V-2-10 Engine, followed by the V-16 Engine. If you're concerned about using the stock engine while grinding the turret, research the first engine before the turret.
- Now, research the MT-25 reinforced Suspension.
- Finally, research the R-113 Radio.

Historical Info
MT-25 was a proposal of a new light tank for the Soviet army. the project itself was not ordered by the army, but it was proposed by a group of engineers as their vision of a new Soviet light tank. MT-25 was not the sole example of the third party proposal concept, as there were some really strange ideas presented to the Soviet goverment (spherical tanks, motorized skis, catapults) but was one of the most reasonable ones. Nevertheless, the tank never left the blueprint stage.
Proposal letter:
"To the Chair of the State Committee of Defense of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, I.V. Stalin.
Fulfilling our duty to the Motherland in this period of relentless and heroic struggle of the Soviet people against the German fascist occupants, and protection of our honour, freedom, and independence, we developed blueprints of a new combat vehicle.
During development, we have considered the following factors:
1. High movement speed.
2. Low damage as a result of being hit.
3. Large operational range.
4. Ability to suddenly attack the enemy.
The vehicle we have developed is called MT-25, and is a wheeled vehicle, with every wheel being a drive wheel. If tracks are added, the MT-25 becomes a tracked vehicle. The vehicle's mass is 25 tons. The average speed is 40-45 kph, maximum 100 kph. Since every wheel is a drive wheel, the vehicle is very survivable. Even if half of the wheels are disabled, the vehicle does not stop. When the engine uses a muffler, the vehicle moves silently. Armament: 47 mm gun and 3 machine guns. We ask you to consider our proposal and accept it as a gift in honour of the Red Army's 25th anniversary.
