Performance
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 but very high fire rate, 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. Do not be surprised if in a heated battle a player finds themselves 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. Uses 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

Overall, the E 25 should be played as a very mobile sniper. It features an impressive 26.62 hp/t ratio, making it quite fast, and allowing you to reach positions quickly, as well as climb into some hard to reach locations only light tanks normally can reach. Distance is your friend, mostly because of your poor armor, but also because you sport very good accuracy, allowing you to hit weak points even at distance. Your gun has an extremely high rate of fire, which allows you to deal consistent damage against exposed enemies. If you manage to destroy the track of a tank, you'll be able to keep it stuck there until an enemy chases you off, or until the target is destroyed. However, bear in mind that your low penetration means that you'll have trouble penetrating a handful of tier 7, most tier 8, and nearly all tier 9 tanks if you're unlucky enough and in a platoon. Luckily, the low premium ammunition costs and very good accuracy and aim time can somewhat offset this, though you'll still have trouble penetrating late tier tanks.
