The T25 Pilot Number 1 is an American tier 8 premium medium tank.
Developed by the United States Army Ordnance Corps on the basis of the mass-produced T23 tank with a 90-mm gun and reinforced armor. After the creation of two prototypes, 40 other vehicles were manufactured.
The T25 Pilot is, in its own right, a combination of both the M26 Pershing and the T20; players familiar with the playstyles of both of these tanks will feel right at home with the T25 Pilot. The T25 Pilot, compared to other tier 8 premium mediums, is a very well rounded tank, it is a Jack-of-all-Trades much like the Pershing and combines a good mix of average (Or slightly above average in some aspects) mobility, armor, and firepower. Whereas, for example, the CDC trades armor for exceptional mobility or the T-54 Mod. 1 trades mobility for armor. The T25 will not last long on its own due to its poor (Though not horrible) armor, and works best in a medium tank wolf pack or as a mid-range sniper, preferably shooting over a ridge only exposing its reasonably well armored turret. As for its credit making potential, its fast-firing 90mm as well as its bouncy turret should earn the player a respectable sum. One last thing to note is that the T25 travels 7 km/h faster than the Pershing (55 km/h,) and this speed advantage makes the T25 much more flexible at repositioning and escaping from sticky situations.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Excellent ground resistance makes up for the lacking engine power;
- Has also high top speed;
- Excellent gun handling with handsome vertical clerance and high accuracy;
- Decent damage per minute by very good rate of fire;
- Thick gun mantlet can resist most guns at and below 200mm of pen;
Cons:
- Very poor overall armor for a tier VIII medium, can only manage auto-ricochets;
- Low power/weight ratio, slow on slopes;
- Actual hull traverse can be disappointing on medium to soft ground;
- Low penetration values;
- Slow shell velocity especially on AP round;
Performance
Unlike typical American medium tanks of the Sherman/Pershing/Patton family, the T25 Pilot fullfils a specialized role, more akin to that of the mid-tier turreted tank destroyers. In that sense it seems to be more akin to the T20, albeit it's much slower. Like the T20 it is severly lacking in armor and its main defense lies in staying unnoticed. Despite being 1 tier higher with more or less the same gun, its greatly improved RoF definitely makes up for that, contributing more to the flanking ability. If that fails, its good gun depression and in addition, a gun mantlet of decent thickness allow it to use ridgelines effectively.
The strong point of this tank is its gun handling, which allows for snapshooting even at distant targets.
Early Research
None, this is a Premium tank.
Suggested Equipment
Documented Tank and Crew Builds
As a premium vehicle, this tank will usually not have its own crew. However, if it does, training camouflage on all crew members is a useful alternative to repairs.
After that, retrain Sixth Sense on commander and Safe Stowage on loader. For the 3rd set and beyond, BiA, Recon, Off-Road Driving and Situational Awareness are suggested picks.
