T25 PILOT NUMBER 1
The T25 PILOT NUMBER 1 is a Tier VIII American medium tank that has a versatile gun and a good mobility. However, the vehicle did not stand out for its performance characteristics in comparison with other tanks of the same class. It needed some improvement to its firepower, visibility, and thrust-to-weight ratio, to make playing on a tank more fun. Therefore, the developers decided to increase its power/weight ratio, gun reload time, armor penetration, and view range, as well as replace its main and special projectiles with more effective ones. These changes will make it more powerful, agile, and aware on the battlefield.
