It is much better suited to mid-range combat when it is not spotted. While other German hulls have decent hull armor, this tank is quite thin with 50mm barely sloped, and you should not expect shots from Tier 5 enemies to bounce. If you must take enemy fire, you should get behind a ridge to cover up the lower hull and make use of the extra gun depression. The final nail in the coffin is the poor agility and acceleration. While the engine is average, the tracks are poor and make very mide turns. Circling tanks can be very tricky with the T-25. Even with 100% crew, the tank does not turn like other medium tanks.

The Pz.Kpfw. T 25 is a German tier 5 premium medium tank.
The vehicle was developed by the Škoda company under the Panzer Development Program initiated by the Heer (German Army land forces). The T-25 existed only in blueprints.
Designed as a successor to the Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) and Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) n.A. designs, the Skoda T-25 has a similar profile. It's larger, with sloped armor, and has a forward rather than center mounted turret. For its tier, the armor is sub-par, but still decent - though against heavies it will not last very long. The T-25 makes up for it by being very fast with a 60km/h top speed and can be achieved by its rather powerful engine, making the tank very good at breaching enemy lines, or moving from supporting one position to another in a hurry. However, it very much lacks in maneuverability. Don't expect to dodge shells like a light tank as it has a long chassis. The T-25 has an excellent rate of fire with the 7.5 cm A18 KwK, which is comparable to the 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/48. It is quite accurate and with its high rate of fire, the T-25 is capable of devastating lower tier tanks very quickly, but it is has trouble against stronger tanks' front armor. Overall, it's a decent medium tank. While it cannot stand up against heavies such as the Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger, it is still a valuable addition to any player's arsenal.
The T-25 also will be the tier 6 Czech medium tank, with an auto-loading gun and better mobility. It is planned to be added in patch 9.13.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Excellent damage per game for its tier, due to its high rate of fire
- Good short to mid-range duelist: High HP, and marginally better turret armour and gun depression, relative to other German Ti
- High top speed: able to reposition across the map
Cons:
- Extremely defensive in the open: Compared to other German tanks, has poor view range (320mm) and gun handling. Very reliant o
- Bad at shortest-range engagements, and peek-a-boo trading: gun has mediocre alpha and awful handling – aim time is far
- Relies on gun depression to cover the hull, as the hull armour is far worse than other Tier 5 German tanks
- Mediocre agility and acceleration, with slow traverses. Standard reverse speed.
Performance
The T-25 is a turreted TD-esque supporter, bringing high DPM and gun depression, with the ability to reposition quickly. Compared to other tier 5 tanks, it looks about average on paper but is very different on the attlefield. The gun may have higher DPM, but has a very specific engagement range: far away, while the accuracy is decent, it has poor aim time; and at close range the turret traverse is slow. It is built for controlling strategic points, eliminating enemies in rapid succession. However, the gun handling precludes the possibility peeking out of cover. This is because of the mediocre alpha and the poor armor.
It is much better suited to mid-range combat when it is not spotted. While other German hulls have decent hull armor, this tank is quite thin with 50mm barely sloped, and you should not expect shots from Tier 5 enemies to bounce. If you must take enemy fire, you should get behind a ridge to cover up the lower hull and make use of the extra gun depression. The final nail in the coffin is the poor agility and acceleration. While the engine is average, the tracks are poor and make very mide turns. Circling tanks can be very tricky with the T-25. Even with 100% crew, the tank does not turn like other medium tanks. It is best suited to travelling in a straight line on flat ground. All in all, you should be prefer to be further away from your enemy than your enemy wants you to be.
A good way to use this tank is to flank and support, while the enemy is focused somewhere else. This fulfills the above criteria: the enemies are lit up from the front, you are reasonably far away, and you don't need to dodge incoming fire. It is an effective sniper tank, as the rate of fire makes up for the mediocre accuracy much like on the M3 Lee. But it is most effective at flanking, damaging side armour of higher tier vehicles, as tier 6/7 frontal plates will be thicker than the 116mm of penetration. Against tier 3 and 4s, as the top tier of a match, it may have some cautious brawling potential at close to mid-range, and can ram decently well to finish off the job in a pinch. Just make sure to get out before you get swarmed and circled.
In all, experienced snipers will still be familiar with the playstyle, but this tank plays more like a faux tank destroyer (particularly the American TDs, which have very similar gun stats and mobility). The T-25 is an accurate and mobile tank with good DPM but low maneuverability, fighting at range is its best tactic, and done correctly helps dominate strategic points and can win the game. That said, it is very vulnerable to many tanks at short range due to its lack of maneuverability, armor and slow turning turret. To play efficiently, you must keep distance between you and the enemy, and know when you should start accelerating backwards (ie, run away). Being a premium tank, the T-25 has a very good credit earning potential when compared to other tier 5 tanks, but it does not contend in this field with tier 8 premium tanks; and despite its shortcomings, the T-25 is a good premium tank.
