Me, being Dash, of course ran off to buy one.
and I must say, its pretty decent actually. Nothing fancy but not as terribad as people make it out to be. Its a slower, slightly sturdier Hellcat. allround usefulness is less that the Cat. but still...
Maybe I fare better in UP pieces of ****...
This one is for you Dash...
Some people think the T25/2 is a downgrade when coming from the M18 Hellcat. If you play the T25/2 like you would play the Hellcat, then its understandable. If you on the other hand play it like a heavier and slower Hellcat, and thus snipe more, it excells just as much as the M18, due to the accurate gun and good RoF.
Been messing around with British tanks since they were released on the russian server.
God.
Please.
Make.
Shells.
Go.
Faster.
They take such a long time to reach the target that it's compareable to french arty. And that's from about 300-400m.
They also don't have any armor whatsoever. It feels like they're made out of napkins - at least, the medium tank line. The heavy tank line is much better, and Matilda is the new resident Marder II in terms of delivering infinite amount of rape.
Guns, putting the shell travel time aside, are also epic.
Well I can think of very few mediums that actually have decent armour mate...my trouble with them is that they're not that fast and guns aren't good enough to compensate for that, imo. At least I was completely unimpressed with the tier 10. Tier 9 wasn't terribad and I might actually give it a shot. If I can arse myself to start grinding again.
Well so far from what i seen of british guns on paper they are fast reloading ok penetrating low damage guns. Almost all british tanks look under armoured though, but some have nice angles that may help.
My biggest regret is that tier 7 Heavy is a bloody Churchill. No extra armour on it from the tier 5 Churchill, just a diff gun, and turret. Will be just like the horible US heavy grind from old in T29-T32-T34-T30 where tank changed guns, and HP but nothing else.

You may want to play them or check the info again. The Black Prince have 152mm on the front armor, and not so evident weakspots on it. Same armor as the tier 6, not the tier 5. And 152mm at tier 7 is still enough.
No the problem is the churchill has 152MM or armour sure, but it is flat, and it is in a very small section of the tank only. Churchill has more weak spots then just about any other tank in game, and everyone knows them.
Even the current lend lease Churchill claims 152MM front armour, but again only in a very small area.All those openings are weak spots,fenders are weak spot, MG blisters weak spots, and so on. Over weekend i re-purchased my M4 for the 100%bonus cash and x2 exp and I raped 2 churchills with it. I can circle it, and rape it just about any side/spot. There is no lack of spots that can be penned.
