As for T-25, i guess its a balancing factor for this tank(having way more hp than typical tier5 med). Since it also has somewat similar playstyle to later tanks in Panther line (VK3002M -> P2), it probably goes along with Panthers image of being meds with heavy tanks hp(panther has more than IS or T29 IIRC, P2 got same as IS-3). And its just simply big and bulky for a med, so its more likely to have bigger HP pool to represent that.

My point…

Going from premium tank, to reward tank is a major change and failing to mention it would be an act of incompetence.

Going from premium to regular is even worse as it would require major additions to the tank itself including modules for guns engines and radio, all of which should have been mentioned in any article on the subject.

Such an over site is ofc possible, yet it’s probability is so miniscule that actually allowing for the possibility and requiring clarification is the less rational course of action. Unless ofc a person had heard from other sources that such a change may have taken place.

This isn’t telling us much without actual dispersion values. However, looking at current stats, this tank is looking better and better. I may even purchase it (and I would finally get some motivation to continue grinding US MT line -_-).
