Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very agile
- Very fast
- Good ramming capabilities
- Cheap to maintain. Due to its ~4k - 5k repair costs, it can make a profit even in a loss
- Great acceleration
Cons:
- Larger silhouette from the side than the T-50-2
- Inadequate penetration for all it's guns. It has the third lowest penetration of all scouts with 2mm more penetration than th
- 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
Performance
The MT-25 can be a very effective scout killer; unfortunately, its matchmaking (it regularly meets tier 9s) means that this role is very limited. It is too big for passive scouting, and has neither the acceleration, nor agility, for active scouting. 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. Alternatively, The 37 mm automatic lacks accuracy, but does provide decent burst damage at the cost of atrocious penetration values, even with APCR ammunition. Because of this, ramming should be considered a viable tactic to finish off wounded opponents.
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.
