The E 25 is a German tier 7 premium tank destroyer.
The development of the E 25 was part of the "E" program, supervised by the Waffenprüfamt 6 committee. The E 25 was developed by the Argus company (Karlsruhe, Germany) under the supervision of Dr. Herman Klaue. No prototypes were manufactured.
Also known as "Cockroach" -- a premium tank which, if tanks were personified, would be considered to be that of an impish nature. An incredibly fast, agile, and stealthy tank destroyer, the E 25 brings an extremely high rate of fire to whatever part of the battle it visits. Because of its low damage per shot the E 25 punishes unaware or distracted players disproportionately more than any other and is capable of borrowing tactics normally shown by fast medium and light tanks. Don't be surprised if in a heated battle a player finds themself with a heavy tank fighting in front of it and an E 25 suddenly chipping away at their health from behind in what was supposed to be a safe area. Use of such tactics allow the E 25 to disrupt a battlefield in such a way as to turn what was a stalemate into decisive victory.
This tank was removed from the in-game tech tree on 22/12/2014 and from the gift shop on 15/1/2015 E 25: Withdrawal from Sales. Afterward it has appeared in the shop two times for a very short period and could be awarded from "large boxes" during the 2019 holiday event.

The actual planned length, width and height of the E 25 is 5.66m, 3.41m and 2.03m respectively. In World of Tanks, however, the E 25 is significantly smaller -- measuring only 4.5m in length, 2.78m in width, and 1.75m in height.
