Jingles talking about that toxic tomato not being spotted as the sixth sense has never gone off. I bet this's a case of the commander having no sixth sense at all!
Yup jingles being crap again
13:40 - 6th sense pings, but the icon display has been turned off.
@@masondegaulle5731 that's not 6th sense, that's the sound when he designate a target. Look at the chat box. The moment he request fire it sounds
@@masondegaulle5731 must be a replay bug. At no other point you can hear this
@@burnstick1380 it probably made a noise because he requested fire. I don't think he did at any other point in game.
No 6th sense most likely
The original T25AT was good. The T25/2 isn't all that bad, but it's just not fun to play.
I dont even play world of tanks anymore but will always watch a jingles video
Who wouldn’t?
I never ever played WoT and I never felt any urge to play....but I know many tanks in the game because of Jingles. And I will always watch any WoT video featured by him
I changed to warthunders but jingles it's jingles
Same, but different. I haven't played WoWships in about 1.5 years. I watched Jingles videos before I played, while I played, and since I've quit. About the only other one I watch videos on regularly is Potato Quality, because they don't just do a video of them being exceptionally good (or bad in the case of Jingles), but they explain WHY what the player did was good (or bad).
And it's always amusing for Jingles to be Jingles.
I'm in the same boat, don't play WoT anymore but watch vids from him
The T-25/2 was my dad's favorite tank to play once he got it unlocked. Unfortunately he passed a year ago today. Haven't played WoT or really watched any content from it from it since then. Seeing this video pop into my notifications and watching it brought a smile to my face, however. It was a good match and enjoyable to watch. Thank you Jingles and Secretly_Solanine for sharing!
My condolences.
Sorry for your loss.

Actually, Jingles, the tank is out of render dist- alright, back to the salt mines
render distance = signal range?
With a title like that I'm sure it's going to be an especially "special" video.
And, oh boy, were you in for a surprise
Bummer. I was really looking for the paragons of the wot community
Just to correct u right there 4:14 he was spotting the Leo cuz he got 400 assist for him.
The troll was strong with this one 😂
I iiij in
respect to the M12 player, didn't give up and went out fighting
... proper use of camouflage... XD insert Monty Python skit.
Back when i played WoT i remember having many good games in this tank and other deeply mediocre tanks. Not because i'm a good player (i'm not) but because i play more carefully in mediocre tanks and the enemy doesn't pay as much attention to you. They think they're safe because i'm in a mediocre tank so they make more mistakes and i can punish them for it because i'm being extra careful.
I played it like a support i would always be either behind my heavies or mediums. Its gun is also miraculous for me, i knew that it didnt hsve good pen and i need to shoot weak spots so more often than not i did, and they did hit more times and when they mattered for me. Lol
My best games, as far as win percentage, were in the Type 91 and Type 95 heavies, for the same reason you mentioned. They're terrible tanks and I was very careful on positioning and shooting, and between the two won 59% of 200 matches.
It's exactly the same in WoWs. Seeing all kind of DDs pushing caps, while i just delete them with nerfed Omaha.
Jingles you know that he doesn't have six sense and therefore he was more often spotted than you might think.
Jingles? * shotgun noises *
I think Jingles makes the "just for a change, we're not featuring a Tier X Soviet Medium" comment more often than he actually features Tier X Soviet Mediums.
[ducks out before shotgun is chambered.]
One big mistake there, he and CZenki didn't platoon up, lost out on Brothers in Arms.
All platoon must be alive for Brothers in arms.
Hmm 5 + 4 equals 9,so 3 of a dollar short.
@@randombiker4610 brother in arms needs 3 kills each. You're talking about crucial contribution
@@MrMeeHigh1 they were both alive
Oh sorry my bad.
Its 1:28 am... Time for Bed? NOOOOOooooo says Jingles, watch this first!! OK! (goes and grabs snacks for the next 3 hours)
Sadly... Can relate 😓

Jingles, Secretly Solanne got 471 spotz on that Leo. Which he would not have gotten if the su122 spotted the leo
Love how at 8:42 the S-51 suggests that the Lowe could be rammed to death. Maybe so, but would cost either one of them their lives
Yes, wish dead players would refrain from trying to direct the battle - "cap fast" when there was only arty left lol
@@uabhar7215 At least dead players with anything less than 55% win rate and 1-1500+ battles...
Takin advice from anything less is pointless, as it most likely will improve your chances of _losing._
Also, yes, ramming a Löwe is the worst idea.
I'd at least try HE first but that's only because I can't remember how much it can potentially do to it.
@@SebHaarfagre Ye HE would work. it only needed to do 3 dmg. i reckon the T25/2 he would have rolled for 12 or so -just enough!

Well I'm watching this 9 hours after you posted the comment...so good morning!
@@asahiorbit4565 mornin!
That shot at the end from the M12 was amazing
Once in a blue moon, all that experience pays off... I once hit a T-50-2 that had not been spotted for 4-5 seconds, he was driving fast, although just slightly maneuvering.
I saw where he was headed to and did those big brain Einstein (cue montage here) things which u only get from trying and failing countless times before, and this time, it hit, and hit STRAIGHT ON! 😁 The shell travelled for like 3+ seconds. There's a reason why I still remember this :p
@@SebHaarfagre I've done it a couple of times but my favorite was on prokhorovka at the beginning of the match. Sent a shell at the rail crossing at the other side as soon as my SPG loaded...suddenly the enemy light tank exclaimed:" how the hell was I spotted?" 😁😇
I had one amazing arty game on that map, took out an enemy Centurion with two or three shells, and he wasn't spotted the entire game. First shell missed the intended target (a T-54 if I don't misremember) and went into an unseen tank behind him, then as the rest of the enemy team died the unspotted Cent was the last tank remaining, so I figured that if I were an idiot camping the entire game I'd be hiding in the bush line just next to the red line. Took a blind shot and popped him. ^^ Counted the enemy spotted tanks afterwards and came up with 14. :D
T25/2 has that weird US averageness going for it that makes it really dependable. It's not unlike the Pershing and T20, not particularly showy or amazing in any respect but good enough at everything that you can usually make it sing.
really i think the scorp G is right any time meds rush the ez to defend town is begging for a loss after 60k+ game i can let you know it's about a 90% chance of loss when meds and fast td rush town and fyi on any map town is very easy to defend from both sides (not that scorpG should have ever been where he was) and if you win town its unreal hard for heavy's to get past the tds that sit all game hoping they would win just my 2 cents but to watch meds rush town game after game and lose 90% yet it goes on 90% loss when team wins town
Ah, Jingles... where Scorpions turn into Skorpion G's and Solanine becomes Solenoid :^D
The salt mines await
You're not the only one that has some weirdly good games in this thing. I actually kept it when I advanced past it, thinking I could essentially use it to grind out credits when I needed since I always got *really* good results.
Yes, I like it as well. I only shoot premium on all my tanks so the gun isn't all that bad.
Same here as well as the AT for me.
I don't play this game or that ship game, I watch for this dudes laugh it's a beautiful thing!
Still waiting for a video on the new Girls und Panzer tanks. I know you want to do it. Just give in and do it all ready. Cheers!😊😎
25/2 has the T15E2; Sure it 'only' gets an extra 10mm of pen over the M3, but the shells are also a hell of a lot faster. The flatter trajectory counts for a lot.
See also; Sturer Emil. Godawful aiming with the 105, point-and-click on the 128.
"... the T25/2 is the last one I would pick"
*Stuer Emil would like to know your location*
None of the T25 variants are good, you just grind past them as fast as possible (unless you're a whale who skips unpleasant grinds by throwing money at the problem).
Next livestream:
"Jingles play the T25/2!"
Best part of having a fucked up sleep schedule is some early 01:00 Jingles!
i always enjoyed playing the t25/2 as a pocket medium, it has the same gun as the t20 but with better dpm, slower speed and a little les camo
Regarding why your inclined to pick the AT rather than the 2 could be because human thinking has evolved to make choices that would seem rational to others, with the purpose being to come to conclusions faster in a pinch in order to avoid danger. A recent video from Vsauce touches on it.
You're*
My guess is more that people don't like the lack of versatility that comes with not having a turret.
Back when I played WoT, I was the oddball that hated the turreted US TD's but loved the turretless ones mostly because I just function better when in a specialized vehicle.
I really preferred the slow, fearsome roadblock that is the T95 because while the T30 has that easy, comfy turret which makes it faster and about as tough when hulldown, but has to sacrifice a immense amount of gun-handling for it.
And why bother about hiding the hull or when to fall back when you can have the ease of the Doomturtle lifestyle of picking whatever direction has the fewest allies or is perfect for the vehicle, and just go. T95 doesn't retreat, T95 doesn't care about hulldown, T95 doesn't care about peek-a-boom. T95 just goes, shoots and keeps going forward at camping-pace.
Of course now with the excessive OP ROOSKIE GOLD META why play anyways when your 2 biggest strengths are useless against what you're likely to fight anyways?
@@unscentednapalm8547 thank you ever so much for this
@@VekhGaming front armor is good only because corridor maps. No corridors no fun for you.
@@MrMeeHigh1 Not if you know the map. Been a while since I played so this could be outdated, but on the more wide-open maps, the T95 is low enough that, especially with investment, you can actually use concealment and viewrange to force enemies to either duck in cover(since a lot of players tend to hide when they get shot at), or will flee outright.
It was a rare situation where enough enemies would charge you to become a problem.
Plus the only armor on the T95 that is absolutely terrible is the rear, sides will bounce, unless its gold, T10 AP or well aimed by someone who knows what to aim for.
Certainly, corridor maps are much easier to play, but if I wanted a easy game I'd just buy a OP tenk and goldspam.

You can’t have it both ways, jingles. No matter how you say tomato/potato you gotta say them the same. Please you’re driving me mad! ;)
I love this tank Jingles. I have the prototype in the garage, and i still did not play a battle with that... greetings from Hungary.
I didn't quite like the T25/2 because of the mediocre penetration and gun handling. You basically have to go second line and not snipe or you will mostly miss.
I loved the APCR penetration tho, which is kind of overkill compared to the standard penetration.
But when I went the other TD line.. wow! the T25 AT is god tier with the 105mm. I loved the Jagdpanther so I felt right at home there
But i generally think Tier 7 is kind of a shit tier before tier 8 as many tanks at this tier are mediocre or complete garbage (especially the IKV 90b, A-44 or T-34-1 with their dogshit gun handling, SPIC, Black Prince or the Carro P88)
The only good or decent tier 7 tanks are T29, Tiger I, Jagdpanther, IS, Challenger and SU-100M1.
I played both to completion just recently, the T25/2 & T25 AT and I'll have to admit, the T25/2 felt better to play.
However, I looked at my stats and discovered that they are very similar in performance (at least in my hands). Both took 26 games to research the next tank, both have exactly the same winrate 69.23%, the avg dmg and xp differ in favor of the T25/2 though. T25/2 had 1231 dmg and 838 xp, AT had 1203 dmg and 821 xp. And the last but not least plot twist, the AT had better K/D ratio of 2.62 versus T25/2's 2.33. Almost forgot, I did ace the T25/2 but didn't the AT, just a 1st Class for that.
Sooo, I don't know, I'll have to say that I had the same feelings as Jingles, the T25/2 felt more consistent while the AT was just awkward to play, I remember the 90mm's to be horribly inaccurate on that and the 105mm was somehow more accurate? Must some soft stats thingy.
you cannot "balance" a war machine wtf - they're not supposed to be balanced, what r they thinking? I know all wargaming is interested in is their bottom line - we all know that! So just "WHAT" r they trying to do? ALL they r doing is making enemies by thinking we are believing that shit. This is a GAME people! You CANNOT make tanks "fair"!
Can anyone explain what wot means by "rebalancing" because how can you make guns equal?? It's insane.
"Balance" is just crap. With these nerfs and buffs, wargamming is trying to please everybody, and you know as well as I that you Can Not do that. Let's face it, all they are "worried" about is their bottom line and to hell with anything else.
Wargamming started with reality and quickly went to a freakie, fantasy game.
Is there a game, out there, that has tanks that are as they are supposed to be?
Let them be what they were; no more no less. - that’s what I would like to play.
You just cannot ‘make’ all tanks equal.
Trying to balance a game that, by nature, is NOT BALANCED! WTF - that’s ridiculous-jdr
Give me a tank game that has actual tanks that were in ww2 - no upgrades or tiers - just like it was - sign me up
I did well in the T25/2, average XP 785, Average DMG 1110. WR? 44% I think I found it just wasn't mobile enough to make up for the lacklustre gun, so you'd end up out of position trying to react and the gun sucks at range, all the damage happens when the enemy team is piling on because you couldn't get where you needed to be in time. For that gun and armour, I'd expect it to drive like a Chaffee, not a KV-1.
The T25/2 was the first tank I ever 3-marked, I completely understand what you're saying Jingles, it shouldn't be any good, but it somehow is. I think it's the combination of Mobility, Accuracy/Aim Time and fully traversable turret with good gun depression. Essentially it's a medium with a pretty accurate gun. Love it to bits :)
Hellcat was fun, fast and good (I think after some nerfs) but going from 72 km/hr top speed to 56km/hr top speed (tier 7, american TDs) and then reducing your P:W ratio from 22.7 to 18 or 16, it is painful AF.
Then getting that T28 protype that then halves all the mobility with a marginal gun to ok gun; it feels bad. This one was reason to stop playing the game when the grind is this bad.
My only guess is that Jingles is baiting for comments with this terrible gameplay :D
For people who actually want some tips:
- You basically never take Camo-net on any of your tanks. It's one of the most useless things, unless you're a passive scout;
- Moreover, he should've taken Binoculars instead of Camo-net. That would probably enable him +30-40% more XP as he's grinding the tank, not to mention clutching some situations;
- Extremely bad choice of position at the start of the map. I can think of 2-3 positions, where he could've supported that Scorpion G (who shouldn't have really been there), putting 1-2 shots at the start of the match (and ran away), which would've accumulated to a better result + more odds at the end of the match. Such positioning reminds me of red-line campers, who never get stuck into the game in order to learn what's what, or just play artillery most of the time.
- Moreover, considering there was only 1 arty, had he went over with that Scorpion into that position, he probably would've killed that P44.Pantera. T25/2 has enough gun depression and turret armor to make some cheeky peeks. It's not a given, but that's a possibility. That position is suicide most of the time, but otherwise - really important for this side of the spawn.
It kind of seems that he used all his brainpower to make that nickname, there was very little left for actually playing the game. It really hurt watching this, but I guess once in a blue moon it's interesting to see another thank on Jingles channel, other than a KV-2 :D
And T25/2 is an amazing machine, mostly of the gun handling. Skill4ltu also loves it.
Thanks Jingles. Love me some mid-level TD action.
Yeah after forgoing the turreted TD line for the better paper stats of the casemate TD's, I DEEPLY regretted my choice after hitting the T25AT. I'd go so far as to say it was a worse grind and a more unpleasant experience overall than even the Lee/Grant. Moving up to the T28 was a real breath of fresh air (even with its awful speed). I even had a fantastic T28 replay to send you but the file got corrupted. 5k damage, 1.3k base exp, beat an AMX 50 100 1 on 1 to win. *sigh* i wish the replay hadnt fucked up
Hey Jingles, could you do a video about World of Tanks Console's tyranny?
Premium tanks w/premium time, do at least 1000 dmg in a tier 10 match to tier 10 tanks, not shooting a single gold round...
Lose 14,000 silver...
The Type 5 Chi-Ri and the T34-100 are two tanks that really struggled with but had many really good games in. Then there is the T44-100 that I loved (it has been power crept to the point of worthlessness) playing but had worse games than the FV4202 which I found very "Meh!" to play.
Jingles: *keeps saying that the TD is bad because it only has a 90mm gun*
Me: Wait... wait hold on, i thought this was a WWII game, how come the 90mm gun is BAD?! How come the Panther is bad?! They should both be penetrating almost everything they come across, easily!
I don't think Jingles has played the Sturer Emil, the 25/2 might be mediocre, but the SE is just trash. it has the same stealth and mobility as a maus, and the same effective armor as a loltractor. you're better off slinging gold out of the 105 rather than "upgrading" to the useless 128. so you're effectively a worse Dicker Max at tier7, and no one has ever accused the DMax of being a fun TD to play.
awwww, I want to be a featured toxic player :( but I'm not a tomato
@8:45 sooo...the downside is pay2win cancer, and the infinite buffs they get?
T25/2 is strangely good, mine is at 55%. You have to generally play it as a soft medium, with some TD capabilities lol
The T25/2 has a good bit of mobility, not too much. It’s got odd armor on front turret but not too much to slow it down, a decent enough gun but not too big. That’s what’s been in my head for that tank for a long time. Things in it that aren’t too good but also isn’t complete shit. I got through that tank rather quickly, albeit I saved some free XP so once I got a certain percentage for different upgrades I’d use a little to get it. Afterwards I kept the tank for a while because I worked on view range and camo. Seemed to be a great choice not that my particular stats were amazing in it nor because the teams carried me excessively. I’ve found it being able to bounce the shells from much much larger tanks and TDs cuz I stuck to areas where I could use the gun depression and would be able to backup just a bit to cause auto ricochet angles to be mostly the only angles that were presented. Out of all the tanks I’ve had which is pretty much every country up to tier 8 besides the Swedish meds, Polish and Italian tank lines I’m pretty confident in saying that T25/2 had weird moments of lucky bounces far higher in number in comparison to any other. Especially when compared to various tanks of a similar nature. A mid tier TD with medium turret armor, okay speed, okay gun, okay view and camo. Including some mediums that fall into the same kind of dynamic. I’ve had some really amazing moments of “Holy crap! Where did that come from? Where did I get hit? How much health did I just lose? What shot me? Is anyone else about to hit me and end me?” Only to realize it was a much bigger tank and gun that had shot me with the addition that the person who shot me bounced and I took zero damage. So yeah had a bunch of great games not as many as I’d like but for sure had some strange luck. A few of my friends had similar experiences with that tank. Maybe it’s just the mediocreness (Is that even a word?)of it that makes it somewhat enjoyable…? Hmm… idk.. 🤔
Great vid!
Jingles you pretty much gave the answer to your own question about the tank and all the good games you had at the end because of its mediocre stats people are going to play it more as a support tank and not do anything crazy because they'll just die badly plus enemies know its kind of meh so probably won't prioritise it compared to its counter part unless it's the only thing to shoot at
(Tank destroyer with big gun rolls around corner
Enemies: quick kill it kill it KILL IT WITH FIRE
T25/2 rolls round same corner
Enemies: oh its just you)
🤣
I've played the Hellcat, Jackson and T25/2, but gave up on them even though the Jackson was one of my favourite TD's. I love the sound when the 90mm shoots! Sounds like a gun should! I think they must have all been power creeped, the 90mm doesn't cut it like it used to. It misses frequently. I don't know why, but you have to "aim low," otherwise the shell just flies over the target. If you play a lot of tanks it takes a while to adjust your play to take that into account, thus making these TD's strictly for devotees who play them a lot.
Considering the T25/2 is in-effect a fake tank (T25 Medium hull with an M36 turret slapped on it) put into the game to fill the gap between the M36 and the T28 Prototype (another fake tank). It having mediocre stats is rather par for the course. That being said most tier 7 tank destroyers are flawed in one way or another, the T-25/2 gets by due to having a turret and decent enough overall stats, though that being said I would much rather play a tier 7 medium if given the choice.
I think that, coming from the Hellcat, the underwhelming mobility of the T25/2 keeps you from doing stupid plays. That, and fairly good gun characteristics, is what makes it better than the numbers would suggest.
Jingles forgets he's historically a medium tank player, and that the T25/2 is much more flexible than the T25 AT is. Yes, the T25 AT has the bigger gun, better acceleration, better armor, and better concealment, but the T25/2 has the option of a turret and has better gun handling and shell speed. As such, his medium tank instincts probably served him better in the T25/2 than in the T25 AT.
Maybe if you compare the T-25/2 to the Hellcat it isn't much of an upgrade, but maybe that's just how powerful the design of the hellcat is, that even at tier 7 with minor changes, it's still good, that's my only explanation why on paper even compared to it's tier 7 counterpart the T-25 AT.
The secret of the T-25/2 over the T-25 AT is the turret. It allows flexibility that the T-25 AT simply doesn't have.
It still feels like a downgrade from the Hellcat though.
I disliked the T25/2 when I first started playing it. I changed from playing as a tank destroyer to more of a support medium, which I found a more enjoyable way to play the T25/2.
the T25/2 and T25 AT, two of the WG "funnies", it should actually be the other way around and the T25/2 be armed by the 105mm T5 while the T25/23 AT be armed with the 90mm T15
we obviously get them the way they are because of balance - it's weird but it does exist, at least within the US TT - since you can't have one with the firepower and the turret while the other has neither
I enjoyed the T25/2. Got very good games in it. Could even bounce a lot by going hull-down and using the great gun depression to its fullest. Being an absolutely unremarkable machine, no-one ever expected it to be a real threat. That often let me do maneuvers that other more recognizable tanks would get instantly destroyed for. That, I think, is it's greatest advantage. Dangerously forgettable.
Scorpion G can easily brawl in the city. I used to do that in it, all you need to do is plop around the corner after the enemy fires, deal 500 dmg and go back into cover. As a top tier it is incredibly effective because you can easily clear city and get long range shots later in the game.
But whatever.
I remember the T 25/2. It isn't a great tank, but I had a respectable 55% win rate in it with a 2 skill crew.
If you play cautiously you can have good matches in it.
The T 25/2. It's not good, but it's good enough.
Really Jingles you amateur, a Skorpion is a Scorpion G and he's not spotting the Leo while getting 471 spotting damage??? You was just lazy.
I had great games in the T25/2. I haven't touched the game in years but one of my favorite experiences was falling in love with and having routinely good games in tanks nobody routinely should. A lot of the outclassed US tanks ended up being more fun than the Russian and German OP tanks for me.
WoT should really take a hint from WoWs and implement the nice "pat on the back" feature from them, that +1 karma point thing.
And yeah, T25/2 is a piece of crap but, as it's common, I see, I consistently was able to do well in the damn thing.
The T25/2 really needs to get replaced with something Wargaming didn't entirely pull out of their butts. There were options, vehicles that actually existed, but they made all of those options premium tanks. Go figure.
The T25/2 was OK for me. I had awful games in the T25 AT. I ended up giving up on it, but least I had the 105mm gun for when I went to the T29 via the Sherman Jumbo rather than the M6.
This replay is on the NA server, I know the JUDG2 players personally. good folk them is. Alphasite & waterfirephoenix.
Back in the day, the problem wasnt so much the 25/2 sucked - it was that the GUN sucked, The turret made up, largely but not totally, for the crap gun. A good loadout of gold rounds would let the tank generally hold its own, as long as it wasnt bottom tier. Unfortunately, especially nowadays, its been horrifically power creeped, and the gun is even worse than ever. Sad too, one of the very few tanks i gained two stars on the barrel with.
Actually, I didn't mind the T25/2, which I kept to maybe mark the gun one day.. too many other tanks on the go o.0 I also did like the T28 AT. I do prefer turreted TDs, but am slowly liking and getting use to maneuvering turretless TDs. Really liking the T28, and finally got the T95 ;)
I really don't like players who call others "tomatoes" and such.. we all started new ;-p I prefer "cherries" ;)
Ah yes. Replays from NA. Where the Unicums would be mediocre Bluenicums on RU/EU and bots get featured in gameplay replays because they stand out above the other bots.
"It was the SU 122-44 who spotted him"... *T25/2 gets damage for spotting* Sure, sure. Must have been the SU... ;)
Have not played for several years but out of 25 k games my best results were with 25/2...2.5 k games and 62% win rate. Snipe...moves ok... gun ok...turret...stealth ok and as last man standing you have a reasonable chance against an actual tank.
My previous comment disappeared after I left a wot replay link in it.
I got my 3rd MoE in this tank on this map in my 95th battle. It's on wotreplays with ID 5593103.
From my experience, it's not a horrible tank if you have very good crew, good equipment and use food, which can apply to a lot of tanks. My goal is to have 445m view range without bino. After equipment 2.0, I do not use camo net any more. In open top TDs, I go for rotation mechanism, rammer and coated optics. On most maps, finding consealment is possible. I have had multiple battles in which I dealt more than 2k damage and spotted more than 1k.
With that said, I do remember Challenger is a better TD than this with 40 more alpha damage at almost the same reload. Their gun handling and shell velocity are trading shots.
I’d really enjoy seeing more mid tier (read 5-8) battles from yourself and qb. Then again you orm with what you’ve got eh. Cheer gnome. Also of interest: the bushes do not move like this on the anz or hk server? Why.......?
Your graphics settings. Vegetation quality.
@@MrMeeHigh1 higher, lower, denser, thinner, a touch more detail at all?
I don't like the T25 AT for the same reason the US Army didn't. They didn't like the narrow firing arc of the main gun. The T25/2 of course has a 360 degree rotating turret.
Well T25/2 has a _turret._
It has a good slewing rate too, it has quite nice mobility for the tier, and is surprisingly bouncy when in a good spot.
The gun is good and doesn't really need to be better for what it meets. Good accuracy and aiming time.
This all combined means it's easy to relocate, acquire targets, stay hidden, and hit (and pen) weakspots at long range.
Awesome tank. Love this thing.
Edit- jeez jingles, bit harsh on this thing. It’s obviously one of those tanks that doesn’t perform the way it’s stats suggest it should. I get great results with this, even against tier 8’s. It does require some team play, but overall, it can win games.
I have the same experience. I didn't like this tank but had very good games in it while in my T25AT... Well, nothing but shit...
Ah yes, the good old T25/2 and the mistery of why most people have good memories of this td.
Answer: The accuracy. Not in the sense of pinpiont accuracy, bt the reticle of the gun is smaller than other tds at the same tier. Not much damae, but you hit what you want to hit more often than not.
actually it looks like he doesn't really know how bushes work because he is NOT EVEN SPOTTING because those bushes look dead solid to me lol. ~textbook
T25/2 is great TD same with the T25AT
mobile, good reload, turret for the /2 and stronk enough armor on the front of the AT.
but its the mobility and ROF that makes the decent TDs. Its why i hate heavies, bozo strong armor and big alpha damage is jack against shit when u have terrible reload and mobility
The T25/2 can be a good machine in the right matchups with the right players....however generally its a let down. As pointed out by Mr. Jingles in this video
Clever name-play. It's fun!
Advancing from tier 6 to tier 7 I chose the turreted TD because I had been playing my Hellcat for so long. I learned pretty quickly that it's not a Hellcat! I couldn't play as aggressively but it forced me to learn all the hiding spots near the base
The T-28 Proto is one of the worst "murican" tanks in the TD line after the Hellcat. It's still twice as good as a 25/2.......
Truly amazing tanks inspire people to take risks. Bad tanks make the player overly cautious. A mediocre tank, meanwhile, forces a player to take calculated risks and nail the fundamentals if they want to carry a match. In short, good but not great players often get the best results in good but not great tanks. That’s my theory, at any rate.
Yeah, have to say, the t25/2 is an atrocious vehicle for the tier... but I as well, have had amazing games in it, while I have had back to back horible games in other TD's at that tier that are far better tanks.. I would guess it is because if 2 tanks are spotted, you and a better tankz most people shoot the other tank, which alows you to position for better shots.. at least the grind is worth it...
There many examples of why I don't like the view mechanic; watching tanks disappear after being seen despite no change in the circumstances. I could understand if a tank moved into some concealment, but no a tank out in the open suddenly becomes invisible to an enemy for no reason other then RNG.
very good game for a player with only 2300 battles, well if this is his first time playing... if he understands the bush mechanisms this well with so few games, then he will become a very good player.
The reason you probably have better memories in the T25/2 than the T25 AT is probably because of the turret. A little flexibility goes a long way over the course of a tier 7 grind
Accidentally got a Raider medal in my T25/2 last night, it has surprisingly good camo.
i wish we had XVM on this battle. im 100% sure it was the case of 60%+ winchans for the enemy team. the watched team got absolutely roflstomped all the way up to the end, were a selfish noob refused to do spotting despite having the most health between them all, and instead stayed in the double bush stettpadding like an unfair plane.
2:03...it’s RENDER range, not VIEW range
*hears cocked shotgun*
Jingles?
Jingles why does this "bush mechanic" only works in the videos? Where should i send a video how fcked up this mechanic really is..
love your videos btw
t25/2 is my statistically best tank. its so weird. Stealthy, good gun handling, decent depression. ok turret armor.
