There is a reason I no longer play my E 25. For the longest time, it was my highest earned EXP in a single battle (before my Tortoise finally dethroned it) at 2,221 base EXP. Did I do anything special? No. I just sat in a bush and fired like a maniac, moving onto the next bush as the battle progressed.

Oh yeah and we're going to ignore the SU-122 S and the SU-152 with 3.3k base DPM at tier 7. What game are you even playing LOL???
I remember back in the day when I bought this vehicle my max tier tank was the chaffee at tier 5. I thought I was buying the t95 as the icons looked kind of similar and I got their names confused. There are no words to describe how disappointed I was when I received a tiny fast little TD instead of the behemoth that is the t95, but little did I know. 😉
E-25....T-95...e-25...t-95...e25...t95. How dafuk you confuse these two? I have to call bullshit! You maliciously intended to buy the E-25 100%. "Oh, I accidentally bought the wrong tank, they look so much alike..."
Having no gun rammer you can pretty much destroy a Canon with 3k HP in 1 minute, now if you have vents and rammer plus consumables then it goes up to 3.3k which is simply brutal.It's a piranha, delivering small bites but in very quick succesion. Field modifications will allow you to build 2 different configurations, one for spotting and one for damage dealing, so you can stay in a bush in Malinovhka with binoculars, vents and camo to maximize the view range and then switch to rammer, vents and exhaust...whatever you want to imagine, this thing will be able to do so.
@@Simon-jj3jk Well, that's not really the case unless you face things like VK 100.01P, KV-4s, IS-3 or Defenders but it definitely pays off because many, and I mean MANY, players use Progettos, Skorpions, Lorrains, Rhm, Lynx, EBR 75, M40-43s, Somua, 50 100...so if you know how to move you can still have a significative impact. The most important thing is the cap and the reset and trust me, I have low pen with my EVEN 90 and my SuperPershing and I've reached General rank only by capturing the bases or resetting the cap. Mobility is the most important thing in the Frontlines game mode.
@@juanjodpr true, forgot to consider those light Armor op tanks, that’s my bad; but for certain areas, it really is not good for a td that doesn’t have a turret, it could rely on its high camo value, but not too long if your opponent is getting too annoyed and they either decide to rush you or simply just change the area they attack, depending on how many defenders are in the same area with you (and that’s only the defending case because I cannot think of any situations that defenders are using loads of light armor tanks trying to rush and die just to defend the cap against the attackers, so if the opponent are smart enough, I’d say e25 is situationally good but still not a better choice compare to skorp (I mean every tank has its weakness, that puts all the tanks into the situationally good area, but the turret that skorp has gives more opportunities for it so it could use more positions, not to mention that e25 is easily affected by some small slope, unless you are willing to stand on top of it, without the bush to cover or you just abandon the position)
@@Simon-jj3jk The most similar tank was the Kanonen90 before it was buffed to its 105mm gun version, pretty much an E25 a tier higher. The lack of penetration was the problem as well as the lack of dpm (as it is still now). I'd say those fast tanks could be used to rapidly conquer a flank which was left uncovered, taking profit from some holes in the enemy lines in the Frontline mode, something that usually happens, specially when people keep on sending tanks and losing them until they realize they can't send any other tank and they must wait. I mean, rather than the E25 I would go with the LT-432, pretty much same mobility and better armor and good dpm but still the amount of weakly armored tanks in the Frontlines sometimes rewards you a lot if you sue HE.
That's tough. QB videos makes me want to get back to WoT, but each time I get back to WoT, I do a game, it ends with only one or two hit... sometimes, and I get brutally ravaged whatever the tier I am playing. Not only new players, returning players have an attrocious time to get back in the game. :/
@@AndrewWhiteKhanty Don't forget that QB shows the E25 in a favourable situation. Nowadays you will pretty much always have tier 8 tanks in ur battles and in this video he mostly shot lower and equal tiers. If you face tier 8 tanks it can quite easily be the case that u cant penetrate frontally at all, even with gold. This can be quite frustrating. QB makes this tank look way more op than it actually is. Sure when u are top tier this tank is a beast, but against tier 8s it is rather the opposite unless u can get their sides or rears.
I won the E25 during Christmas, and I hated it!! I would charge in and sports and circle enemies and die!! Now I understand. Shoot from afar. Remain unsorted. Thanks for the tip to do well, QB
An easy way to adequately solve this issue without directly nerfing the vehicle is to simply put a "cap" on camo rating just as there is on view range.
That would still cause returns, lawsuits, and a lot of lost money for WG. They do not want that. Besides, it being OP is a good way to market it. It being 'uniquely OP' is even better for marketing. WG will never nerf it. It's a literal cash cow.
@@naclcube6558 That wouldn't be a direct nerf to the vehicle making it a very viable option. The only thing they'd have to do is give you some kind of a benefit for going over the mentioned "cap" for camo, just like when you go over the view range cap you get camo penetration. It wouldn't be a nerf, per se, but an actual total game mechanic change. (Like the HE round changes)
Now imagine someone having grinded through the British medium line and putting a 3 skill crew in his Centurion AX, thinking the fun is about to start as a top tier and in reality getting into a world of constantly being hammered by Object 430Us with 5 skill crews, upped bounty equipment and level 10 field maintenance. Must be like having to play E25s all the time: hitting nothing and being killed in a minute, again and again and again. I wonder how fast the red players will find something better to do with their time, money and frustration.
I wouldn’t say they are easy prey. But maybe like that fly that is really hard to see but also very slow to move around. Sure you’re gonna get them eventually, but it would take you a bit longer than a pest that is much easier to spot.
@@ZafrasF yep, not scary, just obnoxious. And it would be better if they weren’t let into the house at all. But sometimes Wargaming leaves the back door open and forgets to put the screen up. And every time Wargaming gets caught they are like, “we know you don’t like the flies, we won’t do it again. Don’t worry”
thinking about it, the Kpz 07 RH is like a E25 at tier 8, but with a turret. The fact that it doesn't perform as well is maybe an indicator of the level of play at different tiers, where at T8 most of the playerbase can deal with a E25-like type of threat, where at T7 the playerbase mostly can't ? suppositions, only suppositions..
@@DarkMaidenFlan It really isn't. The two versions have either a 88 or 105 gun, not the 75 I was thinking of and consequently are missing in DPM. Also, mobility and stealth are lacking in comparison.
@@Steamrick oh sure the guns aren't really comparable. No doubt about that. But im not sure were thinking of the same kanonenjagdpanzer suddenly. Mine has a phenomenal concealment at still concealment range of 202 meters, and it does 70 kph.
These changes are the reason I've stopped playing WoT. Super fast LTs, invisible TDs that can obliterate you in three shots, invincible HTs racing around that you can only pen with premium rounds. Makes me sick. Sometimes, when I look back at the seven plus years I played, I almost feel like I was robbed of the money I put in for the premium time and tanks that I purchased. Nothing but an endless cycle of firing gold rounds that cost ten times as much, so now you have to buy premium tanks to earn extra silver because tech tanks don't really turn a profit unless you're a really good player, and the account time for the bonus XP to make that grind through the low tech levels just a little less horrendous. The whole idea of "Skillful Play" went out the window when some random noob with more money than yearning for self improvement would plant an "F*** You" round right through your perfect hull down location with a smooth brain laugh, and sucked all the fun with it. Frankly, WG should have just charged a monthly fee and been honest about how much they wanted our money.
I am fine with being free to play player.Just have a big smile when someone is shooting gold at you.Fuck em.If i get to koll premium tank,even beter.Sometimes it is realy stupid seeing my shels bounce 3 out of 4 times,but again,fuck it.
Fun fact, consumables, BIA and vents boost concealment too... If you play with bond vents you get even MORE camo, now replace the optics with the exhaust systems, and get situational awareness and recon, and you won't NEED optics, at 421 viewrange, but now even MORE impossible to detect, on the move too!
The same gun on this vehicle was actually on and used in combat by the Hetzer. In the game the Hetzer doesn’t have this option. It did make the vehicle nose heavy, but it also did that to the Jgdpz IV with the same gun and has that option in game.
In America the Premium shop sale with all of the extras they had on the E-25 meant that the $74.99 cost subtracting the Free Bundle Contents value of $100.00 meant that YOU MADE A $25.00 PROFIT.
At the end you can see the only drawback of this tank against IS3: poor penetration. P.S. E25 is actually a good rammer against light tanks and a deadly opponent if you hug a tall tank with poor gun depression because of his small size.
For a light tank that is certainly the case. You just have to reprogram yourself to back up immediately after firing, and not wait for 6th sense signal.
If you truly believe this is such a bad and OP tank and shouldnt be sold then why are you advertising how good it is which makes people want to buy it?
He's clearly pointing out the fact the tank is overpowered and is not encouraging people to buy it in my opinion. It's just a never ending buzzing mosquito 🦟
@@Tobertus Yeah and he made this advert for the tank as it returned to the shop. Dont be so easily fooled. this is nothing but an advert to encourage people to go out and buy it.
Everyone's always living in the past when they say E 25 is op, personally i'd say SU-122-44 is OP compared to the E 25 because it does 390 damage every 6 seconds and has enough armor to bounce equal tier tanks while also having good mobility. The only thing that's putting me off from playing the SU-122-44 is the view range You also forgot to mention how tanks have way more armor at tier 6-8 (new tanks that were added after E 25) so the 194 gold pen falls flat so hard nowadays
exactly, nowadays u pretty much always face tier 8 and the low penetration of the tank really holds it back there. This video shows a favorable situation where there are just soft targets, but you will also get rounds where you cant penetrate shit even with the gold rounds.
6:38 actually the worst MM for this tank is T7-+T8. Here there were T6s, so this is a very good MM. In my IS-6, getting a full T8 or a T8+T9 MM is pretty sad because I'm underpowered against everyone, but as soon as there are lower tiers in the match, even if there are also higher tiers at the same time, the MM become manageable.
Well spoken Francis. He can call it toxic all he wants, he should be forced to play it over and over on tier 8 lobbies on himmelsdorf to see just how not toxic it can be lol.
Exactly what I was thinking... And it's only OP when your top tier which is 25% of the time... Imagine fighting in this tonk against borrasque and 3 Lt432 ebr on each team...I say it's far from OP with the kind of matchmaking that we are having...
I absolutely loathe the borrasque. Such a game-ruining shitlord of a tank. God forbid you find yourself reloading when that cancermobile rounds the corner and decides your game is over.
He gets special rng but more likely jist only showed that one game that rng said YES OH YES. Seriously mine doesnt even hit 3 in a row sometimes when im sitting still and have fully aimed.
I've bought a few tanks of all tiers but this one will always be my favorite it's so much fun. They should add an automated "what the fuck?" audio cue whenever the enemy gets hit by this tank. lol
Yeah they could give the E25 a 1 second reload and it still wouldn't be close to being as op as that blasted overpowered M44 (or actually arty in general). The M44 is basically a leFH at tier 6 and that one is beyond op. Just go to tier 6 and u will see that there are basically always three arties on every team and 80 percent of those being M44s. Now tell me again the M44 is not op. Arty in general is overpowered as fck and should not exist in the first place.
If you dont like E25 in the game, because its op, then they should remove clan wars tanks too, from the random games. Nothing like fighting good players, getting even better with op reward tanks
Rly? We have issues with - goldammo - wheeled tanks - OP reward tanks in randoms - game turned into a 5:15 simulator and you complain about a rare TD which is so diffucult to play that you hardly see it at all on the battlefield? You are losing connection to the player base, my friend….
Yeah he also fails to mention it's small ammo capacity. I have one. You run out of ammo all the time. He also complains about it's speed when Wargaming nerfed it's speed in the first patch after it was introduced. It was faster. Maybe something like 7% faster than it is now. Back when I still played I used it more as a scout tank instead of a TD.
Got it in one of 25 boxes 3 years ago as the only high tier premium. Was bit disappointed as I'm not good at sitting in bushes so don't have good results on it. If I see it, I try to ram it ;) Small gun arc and elevation/depression is also weakness of this TD but yeah camo is insane. You notice it once you step on it.
The solution is somewhat simple: don't apply crew 2.0 benefits beyond the 2nd skill and field modifications to premium vehicles. That is obviously leaving aside the question of whether crew 2.0 or field modifications should be implemented in the first place. Before anyone complains, consider this: Modern premiums are balanced around fully upgraded tech tree vehicles, if not more powerfull than those in some cases. They are usually fully klitted out with equipment since the plan is to keep using them rather than replace them with the next model in line, and most of the time they'll have 100% crews in them. Especially people that play the game for free will not have anywhere near that level of potential performance from their vehicles. Also considering a very large portion of the matchmaker is already filled with premiums apparently they already have plenty going for them. Lastly, note that not allowing field mods on premiums is not a nerf to premiums, after all we don't change any of their stats. Nor is it a buff to all techtree vehicles, it won't be a case of patch drops and instantly all techtree vehicles are stronger. It'll be a buff to those individual instances of techtree vehicles where a player spends enough time on. Actually now that i said that i'm of the opinion field mods should NOT be available through xp conversion, and actually require the grind, that is if they should be introduced at all.
The flip side is that plenty of people buy the tank thinking it will make them OP but then play it badly, also the other cockroaches (wheeled vehicles) expose them and they get smooshed.
I pften play the E25 as a rush spotter: I take binocs, a camo net and vents with a concealment directive, a 100% camo-brothers in arms crew. It has 76% camo when holding still with a viewrange of 460.I rush into the middle of Malinowka or Prokharovka and just do nothing for 5 min and get like 3-4k assists and mostly 1-2k dmg each round. The thing about that is you spend even less mmcredits for shooting and get even more!
The E25 has 3 flaws: 1) It is so flat that you often can't shoot the enemy becuase there is some small hill or obstacle in the way, but this also means that they can't shoot you. 2) It has no turret, so getting tracked can be your end, it's harder to work around corners etc. 3) It has really low penetration for a tier 7 TD. 150 on the standard ammo and 200 on the premium ammo. Which means you can't do anything against the frontal armor of many tier 8 heavies, even with the premium ammo. It's crazy how powerful it is when the enemy has no armor, or if you get the back or side of some enemies. But if you get the front of a tier 8 heavy, which you often do in today's match making, you are totally useless. You have to rely on your team to deal with them, or somehow get their side or rear. You can really see it at the end of the video, how he can't pen the side of an IS 3 at a 90° angle. You can pen it of course, but you will fail more often. Don't get me wrong, it's broken if you are playing against tier 7 or lower.
Love my E 25! But I’m a casual scrub with it. I simply use it as a credit printer and when I’m feeling down and just want to have a good game where I annoy the heck out of my enemy. I don’t remember the exact stats of my camo rating but the bar slider thing says that I have 1,117 into concealment. Yeah, I’m pretty much a ghost while I’m driving this tank. And I hardly ever have trouble dealing with them. Most players that drive these seem to be potato brained. Easy shutdowns for me. Thanks again, Mr. Quickybaby!
I'm thankful that I earned my E25 from the game event where you got it for free. It's the only one I ever felt inclined to finish and I love rolling with it from time to time.
when i first saw e25 never knew it was op, i used to play kv-2 a lot and e25 for me was like a snack, obviously when in open maps facing e25 was a nightmare
The little tank I always wanted. I haven’t played in months, even more surprised this video popped in my feed as I haven’t watched any WoT in months as well. Did a quick looksie on the website and was shocked they were selling it. I just wanna go zoom zoom, I’m a decent player but not the best by far and not claiming to be. Just wanna have fun with my friends to meme around in MM and well now it’ll be a better time. I don’t know when I’ll redownload the game but when I do, I’ll have this tank in my garage!
For y'all whining about E25 being OP tank -> E25 has 53% WR, which is 5th WR from top for tier 7 TDs. Considering it's WR is same as tech tree SU-100M1, which is played stock by many players, usually with poor crews on top of that, E25 doesn't seem so impressive anymore. I get it, yes it will smash through low tiers... But which tank on +2 MM doesn't? So E25 may be very strong tank in good hands, but it doesn't ruin game balance just because it's camo is so good
The e25 is pretty inovative imo, its the only 60 round autoloader in the game
Now now, the Cromwell exists too, as well as a premium Berlin variant. But yea, the E-25's gun is sick. Could be worse, I remember when it wasn't a limited tank. When it was just IN the shop. (That's, in fact, when I bought mine.)
Yet he should have more bullets

Having no gun rammer you can pretty much destroy a Canon with 3k HP in 1 minute, now if you have vents and rammer plus consumables then it goes up to 3.3k which is simply brutal.It's a piranha, delivering small bites but in very quick succesion. Field modifications will allow you to build 2 different configurations, one for spotting and one for damage dealing, so you can stay in a bush in Malinovhka with binoculars, vents and camo to maximize the view range and then switch to rammer, vents and exhaust...whatever you want to imagine, this thing will be able to do so.
ah, then you could really suffer from the low pen of that gun or easily losing 100k+ credits for every game u play
@@Simon-jj3jk Well, that's not really the case unless you face things like VK 100.01P, KV-4s, IS-3 or Defenders but it definitely pays off because many, and I mean MANY, players use Progettos, Skorpions, Lorrains, Rhm, Lynx, EBR 75, M40-43s, Somua, 50 100...so if you know how to move you can still have a significative impact. The most important thing is the cap and the reset and trust me, I have low pen with my EVEN 90 and my SuperPershing and I've reached General rank only by capturing the bases or resetting the cap. Mobility is the most important thing in the Frontlines game mode.
@@juanjodpr true, forgot to consider those light Armor op tanks, that’s my bad; but for certain areas, it really is not good for a td that doesn’t have a turret, it could rely on its high camo value, but not too long if your opponent is getting too annoyed and they either decide to rush you or simply just change the area they attack, depending on how many defenders are in the same area with you (and that’s only the defending case because I cannot think of any situations that defenders are using loads of light armor tanks trying to rush and die just to defend the cap against the attackers, so if the opponent are smart enough, I’d say e25 is situationally good but still not a better choice compare to skorp (I mean every tank has its weakness, that puts all the tanks into the situationally good area, but the turret that skorp has gives more opportunities for it so it could use more positions, not to mention that e25 is easily affected by some small slope, unless you are willing to stand on top of it, without the bush to cover or you just abandon the position)
@@Simon-jj3jk The most similar tank was the Kanonen90 before it was buffed to its 105mm gun version, pretty much an E25 a tier higher. The lack of penetration was the problem as well as the lack of dpm (as it is still now). I'd say those fast tanks could be used to rapidly conquer a flank which was left uncovered, taking profit from some holes in the enemy lines in the Frontline mode, something that usually happens, specially when people keep on sending tanks and losing them until they realize they can't send any other tank and they must wait. I mean, rather than the E25 I would go with the LT-432, pretty much same mobility and better armor and good dpm but still the amount of weakly armored tanks in the Frontlines sometimes rewards you a lot if you sue HE.
Alright everyone, there's the bi-annual "E 25 overpowered" video, see you all in another 2 years.
I'll bring the potato salad.
That's tough. QB videos makes me want to get back to WoT, but each time I get back to WoT, I do a game, it ends with only one or two hit... sometimes, and I get brutally ravaged whatever the tier I am playing. Not only new players, returning players have an attrocious time to get back in the game. :/
Making a video like this just makes even more people go buy it when its for sale GJ QB.
Yea, watching QB master this game made me want to go get one myself. lol. Hopefully, I can resist, or should I?
@@AndrewWhiteKhanty Don't forget that QB shows the E25 in a favourable situation. Nowadays you will pretty much always have tier 8 tanks in ur battles and in this video he mostly shot lower and equal tiers. If you face tier 8 tanks it can quite easily be the case that u cant penetrate frontally at all, even with gold. This can be quite frustrating. QB makes this tank look way more op than it actually is. Sure when u are top tier this tank is a beast, but against tier 8s it is rather the opposite unless u can get their sides or rears.
If somebody says something people complain and when nobody does people still complain
I won the E25 during Christmas, and I hated it!! I would charge in and sports and circle enemies and die!!
Now I understand. Shoot from afar. Remain unsorted. Thanks for the tip to do well, QB
Isn’t there like some guy on the NA forums obsessed with the E25?? lol
It’s my most played tank lul
cringe lord yuno gasai. That guy would get clowned on the forums back in the day
@@Emot10nsOh my god, that name is what I was tryna remember lol, gross.
An easy way to adequately solve this issue without directly nerfing the vehicle is to simply put a "cap" on camo rating just as there is on view range.
That would still cause returns, lawsuits, and a lot of lost money for WG. They do not want that. Besides, it being OP is a good way to market it. It being 'uniquely OP' is even better for marketing.
WG will never nerf it. It's a literal cash cow.
@@naclcube6558 That wouldn't be a direct nerf to the vehicle making it a very viable option.
The only thing they'd have to do is give you some kind of a benefit for going over the mentioned "cap" for camo, just like when you go over the view range cap you get camo penetration. It wouldn't be a nerf, per se, but an actual total game mechanic change. (Like the HE round changes)
Now imagine someone having grinded through the British medium line and putting a 3 skill crew in his Centurion AX, thinking the fun is about to start as a top tier and in reality getting into a world of constantly being hammered by Object 430Us with 5 skill crews, upped bounty equipment and level 10 field maintenance. Must be like having to play E25s all the time: hitting nothing and being killed in a minute, again and again and again. I wonder how fast the red players will find something better to do with their time, money and frustration.
E25 was the first premium tank that I bought 7 years ago, and it's one of my favorite tank in all the game. Probably the best premium tank ever sold
I was waiting for this video as soon as i saw it's in the shop :D
I dont mind the e-25s. For every good player there are thousands who have no clue how to use it, and are easy prey.
I wouldn’t say they are easy prey. But maybe like that fly that is really hard to see but also very slow to move around. Sure you’re gonna get them eventually, but it would take you a bit longer than a pest that is much easier to spot.
I think another saving grace is that it is a meme tank. Its funny, so I don't mind them either.
Yeah, hardly a scary tank on the battlefield.
@@ZafrasF yep, not scary, just obnoxious. And it would be better if they weren’t let into the house at all. But sometimes Wargaming leaves the back door open and forgets to put the screen up. And every time Wargaming gets caught they are like, “we know you don’t like the flies, we won’t do it again. Don’t worry”
@@tankerbruja good metaphor
Germany could of won if they just used E25s
lmao
underrated comment XD
Instead of mass producing Stugs, they could have mass produced these
thinking about it, the Kpz 07 RH is like a E25 at tier 8, but with a turret. The fact that it doesn't perform as well is maybe an indicator of the level of play at different tiers, where at T8 most of the playerbase can deal with a E25-like type of threat, where at T7 the playerbase mostly can't ? suppositions, only suppositions..
Lol I can't believe they put the e25 over and over again in the store..
Doesnt help when QB tells everyone how absolutely great it is so they go out and buy it, thus encouraging WG to continue to sell it.
Because it makes them stupid money.
the only bad thing about E 25 is that it carries 60 rounds
Imagine the E25 at tier 8 with the L/100 (long) gun from the Panther...
Already exists.
Kanonenjagdpanzer 😌
@@DarkMaidenFlan It really isn't. The two versions have either a 88 or 105 gun, not the 75 I was thinking of and consequently are missing in DPM. Also, mobility and stealth are lacking in comparison.
@@Steamrick oh sure the guns aren't really comparable. No doubt about that.
But im not sure were thinking of the same kanonenjagdpanzer suddenly. Mine has a phenomenal concealment at still concealment range of 202 meters, and it does 70 kph.
These changes are the reason I've stopped playing WoT. Super fast LTs, invisible TDs that can obliterate you in three shots, invincible HTs racing around that you can only pen with premium rounds. Makes me sick. Sometimes, when I look back at the seven plus years I played, I almost feel like I was robbed of the money I put in for the premium time and tanks that I purchased. Nothing but an endless cycle of firing gold rounds that cost ten times as much, so now you have to buy premium tanks to earn extra silver because tech tanks don't really turn a profit unless you're a really good player, and the account time for the bonus XP to make that grind through the low tech levels just a little less horrendous. The whole idea of "Skillful Play" went out the window when some random noob with more money than yearning for self improvement would plant an "F*** You" round right through your perfect hull down location with a smooth brain laugh, and sucked all the fun with it. Frankly, WG should have just charged a monthly fee and been honest about how much they wanted our money.
I am fine with being free to play player.Just have a big smile when someone is shooting gold at you.Fuck em.If i get to koll premium tank,even beter.Sometimes it is realy stupid seeing my shels bounce 3 out of 4 times,but again,fuck it.
Imagine this with the crew 2.0 concealment and instructors....
Fun fact, consumables, BIA and vents boost concealment too... If you play with bond vents you get even MORE camo, now replace the optics with the exhaust systems, and get situational awareness and recon, and you won't NEED optics, at 421 viewrange, but now even MORE impossible to detect, on the move too!
Releasing this video while the tank is on sale in the shop lol, at least you aren't hiding it anymore.
People complain less about it cause it's tier 5, but I think the French premium arty is more op. Also, E25 bothers me much less than bourrasque.
>Russian Bias
>E-25 is Balans cuz not Russian ))))
Team:"Low on numbers about to cap base in 10sec's"
That one player:"haha tank go reverse"
Love the gold spam, let's show how good the e25 is by not needing to really aim for weak spots
Which sort of proves his point. Even with unnecessary gold spam he makes a profit
The same gun on this vehicle was actually on and used in combat by the Hetzer. In the game the Hetzer doesn’t have this option. It did make the vehicle nose heavy, but it also did that to the Jgdpz IV with the same gun and has that option in game.
When are you gonna do a video on 1.13???
In America the Premium shop sale with all of the extras they had on the E-25 meant that the $74.99 cost subtracting the Free Bundle Contents value of $100.00 meant that YOU MADE A $25.00 PROFIT.
Just have tanks like this to not be able to use those certain equipment and such.
At the end you can see the only drawback of this tank against IS3: poor penetration.
P.S. E25 is actually a good rammer against light tanks and a deadly opponent if you hug a tall tank with poor gun depression because of his small size.
I'm thinking low noise exhaust might be better than the camo net.
For a light tank that is certainly the case. You just have to reprogram yourself to back up immediately after firing, and not wait for 6th sense signal.
Haven't even watched the video yet but couple this with the new bounty low noise exhaust for maximum OP ness
If you truly believe this is such a bad and OP tank and shouldnt be sold then why are you advertising how good it is which makes people want to buy it?
He's clearly pointing out the fact the tank is overpowered and is not encouraging people to buy it in my opinion. It's just a never ending buzzing mosquito 🦟
@@Tobertus Yeah and he made this advert for the tank as it returned to the shop. Dont be so easily fooled. this is nothing but an advert to encourage people to go out and buy it.
In Blitz i sat in a bush whilst 2 tanks passed me 20mtrs away without spotting me.
It's not that op in nowadays game since preferential mm is far worse now than it was 5 years ago, still a beast of a TD
I don't think its OP but its broken cuz of camo
Everyone's always living in the past when they say E 25 is op, personally i'd say SU-122-44 is OP compared to the E 25 because it does 390 damage every 6 seconds and has enough armor to bounce equal tier tanks while also having good mobility. The only thing that's putting me off from playing the SU-122-44 is the view range
You also forgot to mention how tanks have way more armor at tier 6-8 (new tanks that were added after E 25) so the 194 gold pen falls flat so hard nowadays
exactly, nowadays u pretty much always face tier 8 and the low penetration of the tank really holds it back there. This video shows a favorable situation where there are just soft targets, but you will also get rounds where you cant penetrate shit even with the gold rounds.
@@ToniFalck I agree, even in the old days I still think Stalin's Hammer was better, it's my one and only premoum vehicle till this day for a reason :)
This is absolutely the best ad from Wargaming on purchasing the E25. Thanks.
Take out Wheeled sh*t tanks and then I would consider my E25 op.
Progeto, Bouraqze, Lorraine and other autoloaders are much more toxic to game than E25
Sorry but did you ever tried to fight versus newer tier 8 heavies e.g Defender etc? Even with Gold it is hard to manage a 1 vs 1.
6:38 actually the worst MM for this tank is T7-+T8. Here there were T6s, so this is a very good MM. In my IS-6, getting a full T8 or a T8+T9 MM is pretty sad because I'm underpowered against everyone, but as soon as there are lower tiers in the match, even if there are also higher tiers at the same time, the MM become manageable.
IS6 has too be the most sadest tank in the game....
I've had the e25 for years. I'll say one thing:
Not every map is an open map.
That's all I want to say
Well spoken Francis.
He can call it toxic all he wants, he should be forced to play it over and over on tier 8 lobbies on himmelsdorf to see just how not toxic it can be lol.
@@DarkMaidenFlan it’s strong as shit....stop
@@jacobbridges5143 no. Its not a toxic tank. The seal clubbing stat patters who camp low tiers in it are whats toxic.
You stop 😐
@@DarkMaidenFlan link me your profile
this tank was here long ago ,so now that you highlighted it it will now be all over the game thanks QBs big mouth
How much money did QB get from Wargaming for promoting the E25 when it very conveniently is on sale in the shop? =)
Exactly what I was thinking... And it's only OP when your top tier which is 25% of the time... Imagine fighting in this tonk against borrasque and 3 Lt432 ebr on each team...I say it's far from OP with the kind of matchmaking that we are having...
e25s, bourrasques, char futurs. Playing t8 for free is hell.
I absolutely loathe the borrasque. Such a game-ruining shitlord of a tank. God forbid you find yourself reloading when that cancermobile rounds the corner and decides your game is over.
If they ever do crew 2.0 it will destroy this game into Oblivion, and not the fun Elder Scrolls Oblivion.
I really love how he doesn't miss hitting a single shot...even on the move...ON THE MOVE!
He gets special rng but more likely jist only showed that one game that rng said YES OH YES. Seriously mine doesnt even hit 3 in a row sometimes when im sitting still and have fully aimed.
Add low noise exhaust system instead of optics + bond ventilation
I've bought a few tanks of all tiers but this one will always be my favorite it's so much fun. They should add an automated "what the fuck?" audio cue whenever the enemy gets hit by this tank. lol
Ah, but they will nerf the M44…no problem.
Yeah they could give the E25 a 1 second reload and it still wouldn't be close to being as op as that blasted overpowered M44 (or actually arty in general). The M44 is basically a leFH at tier 6 and that one is beyond op. Just go to tier 6 and u will see that there are basically always three arties on every team and 80 percent of those being M44s. Now tell me again the M44 is not op. Arty in general is overpowered as fck and should not exist in the first place.
Few things in world of tanks feel as good as pumping a round with the kv-2 into this pancake
If you dont like E25 in the game, because its op, then they should remove clan wars tanks too, from the random games. Nothing like fighting good players, getting even better with op reward tanks
O-Ni also has an OP camo bonus - its camo does not decrease when moving even though it is a heavy.
Yes but the O-Ni is about 25 times bigger than an E-25...
Rly?
We have issues with
- goldammo
- wheeled tanks
- OP reward tanks in randoms
- game turned into a 5:15 simulator
and you complain about a rare TD which is so diffucult to play that you hardly see it at all on the battlefield?
You are losing connection to the player base, my friend….
Yeah he also fails to mention it's small ammo capacity.
I have one. You run out of ammo all the time.
He also complains about it's speed when Wargaming nerfed it's speed in the first patch after it was introduced. It was faster. Maybe something like 7% faster than it is now.
Back when I still played I used it more as a scout tank instead of a TD.
The fact that this vehicle is currently on sale for 50 bucks is the most disgusting aspect of this entire situation.
Wot has gone to shit
The E-25s view range is like a badger seeing as far as a giraffe.
I got the E-25 for free. Many battles ago WG NA had a rediculously easy mission that allowed you to get the E-25 for free.
Basically it’s cat and mouse whenever I meet these buggers while driving my KJagdpazer 105
who is the cat and who is the mouse?
A "toxic tank", I'm sold.
E25 needs a price buff
Got it in one of 25 boxes 3 years ago as the only high tier premium. Was bit disappointed as I'm not good at sitting in bushes so don't have good results on it. If I see it, I try to ram it ;) Small gun arc and elevation/depression is also weakness of this TD but yeah camo is insane. You notice it once you step on it.
I agree with you, QB. Thank you for speaking on our behalf.
Am I the only one seeing the old tanks that I love, completely outmatched by every new op tank
The reason WG named the tank E 25 is because they knew you can get 25% camo when firing, so its E 25% camo
The solution is somewhat simple: don't apply crew 2.0 benefits beyond the 2nd skill and field modifications to premium vehicles. That is obviously leaving aside the question of whether crew 2.0 or field modifications should be implemented in the first place.
Before anyone complains, consider this:
Modern premiums are balanced around fully upgraded tech tree vehicles, if not more powerfull than those in some cases. They are usually fully klitted out with equipment since the plan is to keep using them rather than replace them with the next model in line, and most of the time they'll have 100% crews in them.
Especially people that play the game for free will not have anywhere near that level of potential performance from their vehicles. Also considering a very large portion of the matchmaker is already filled with premiums apparently they already have plenty going for them.
Lastly, note that not allowing field mods on premiums is not a nerf to premiums, after all we don't change any of their stats. Nor is it a buff to all techtree vehicles, it won't be a case of patch drops and instantly all techtree vehicles are stronger. It'll be a buff to those individual instances of techtree vehicles where a player spends enough time on. Actually now that i said that i'm of the opinion field mods should NOT be available through xp conversion, and actually require the grind, that is if they should be introduced at all.
Very few tanks can troll the E25 , that's why it's so good.
6:13 the entire wot sorted down to 1 line of words^^
The flip side is that plenty of people buy the tank thinking it will make them OP but then play it badly, also the other cockroaches (wheeled vehicles) expose them and they get smooshed.
Super Hellcat spotted you because you slightly moved your tank thus deactivating the camo net. Thats why you got spotted.
I pften play the E25 as a rush spotter:
I take binocs, a camo net and vents with a concealment directive, a 100% camo-brothers in arms crew. It has 76% camo when holding still with a viewrange of 460.I rush into the middle of Malinowka or Prokharovka and just do nothing for 5 min and get like 3-4k assists and mostly 1-2k dmg each round. The thing about that is you spend even less mmcredits for shooting and get even more!
The only reason the hellcat spotted you was because your camo net was not activated yet before you shot
The E25 has 3 flaws:
1) It is so flat that you often can't shoot the enemy becuase there is some small hill or obstacle in the way, but this also means that they can't shoot you.
2) It has no turret, so getting tracked can be your end, it's harder to work around corners etc.
3) It has really low penetration for a tier 7 TD. 150 on the standard ammo and 200 on the premium ammo. Which means you can't do anything against the frontal armor of many tier 8 heavies, even with the premium ammo. It's crazy how powerful it is when the enemy has no armor, or if you get the back or side of some enemies. But if you get the front of a tier 8 heavy, which you often do in today's match making, you are totally useless. You have to rely on your team to deal with them, or somehow get their side or rear. You can really see it at the end of the video, how he can't pen the side of an IS 3 at a 90° angle. You can pen it of course, but you will fail more often.
Don't get me wrong, it's broken if you are playing against tier 7 or lower.
Love my E 25! But I’m a casual scrub with it. I simply use it as a credit printer and when I’m feeling down and just want to have a good game where I annoy the heck out of my enemy. I don’t remember the exact stats of my camo rating but the bar slider thing says that I have 1,117 into concealment. Yeah, I’m pretty much a ghost while I’m driving this tank.
And I hardly ever have trouble dealing with them. Most players that drive these seem to be potato brained. Easy shutdowns for me.
Thanks again, Mr. Quickybaby!
I'm thankful that I earned my E25 from the game event where you got it for free. It's the only one I ever felt inclined to finish and I love rolling with it from time to time.
when i first saw e25 never knew it was op, i used to play kv-2 a lot and e25 for me was like a snack, obviously when in open maps facing e25 was a nightmare
The little tank I always wanted. I haven’t played in months, even more surprised this video popped in my feed as I haven’t watched any WoT in months as well. Did a quick looksie on the website and was shocked they were selling it. I just wanna go zoom zoom, I’m a decent player but not the best by far and not claiming to be. Just wanna have fun with my friends to meme around in MM and well now it’ll be a better time. I don’t know when I’ll redownload the game but when I do, I’ll have this tank in my garage!
QB "This should not exist in world of tanks" me: French tech tree wheels. should not exist, in the first place.
not playing any more ... but this one is my most favorite seal clubber
Yeah, I was eaten alive by an E-25 that I was never able to spot.
Pew pew gun...bounce bounce bounce with new armor ratings.
idk how you have played this game for so long
The only counter:
RAM RAM RAM!!!
For y'all whining about E25 being OP tank -> E25 has 53% WR, which is 5th WR from top for tier 7 TDs. Considering it's WR is same as tech tree SU-100M1, which is played stock by many players, usually with poor crews on top of that, E25 doesn't seem so impressive anymore. I get it, yes it will smash through low tiers... But which tank on +2 MM doesn't? So E25 may be very strong tank in good hands, but it doesn't ruin game balance just because it's camo is so good
when I played this game E25 was my favorite tank, played so much I got so good on it
