B-C 25 t: The Tank I Grew Up With! | World of Tanks

i almost cried when he shot wt on the move seeing how low his ammo was, thankfully he hit so there was no problems

[@HarshGupta-xm3jt]

i cried when he he had only 3 last shell reloaded and shot the first shell and fired 2 shells left at Maus to end the game. I would have pissed myself in that situation .

[@MorningNapalm]

There was one extra shell in case he missed. He ended up shooting it at the sun.

[@Tniedrich]

WG needs a “resupply” mechanic- if you vehicle has 0 shells left, roll in to your home base and get something like 15-20% ammo capacity resupplied. Only one resupply per game and standard ammo only.

[@CharlyDontSurf1]

When this tank came out he was number 1 in the CW. He was quick, could scoff and be a magazine that was really op back then.

[@dinismantas7265]

I always thought I should avoid tanks that demand a higher skill cap, but...I found out that they can be so much fun. I really enjoy the BC, although at times he can make me want to scream. I think this tank deserves a little buff. Maybe a little faster reload time, or slightly quicker intra clip loading (2,5secs?). Perhaps just somewhat better gun handling, as it is really annoying to miss shots when: a) We have so few ammo to beggin with, b) Such a long reload time. I also like that he can act as a spotter.

[@luisdelicato1877]

First buff should be more ammunition....

[@thunder7135]

@@luisdelicato1877 In my opinion, first buff should be 2023-level gun handling... Those stats were left untouched since over a decade... Derp guns aim faster and hit more shots than Batchat nowadays and I wish that were an exaggeration xD

[@Smallbore40X]

I love your perspective on the game. You always seem to find the positive way to look at things.

[@friendlyreaper9012]

Bat chat is from a time when autoloaders were balanced. Sure you can do like 2000dmg in one clip but you dint have much ammo and the gun loved to miss. Still it is really rewarding when it works, especially since it can spot too. Nowadays autoloaders dump 1000 dmg in like 5 secinds and reload in 20.

[@pun15h3r.]

totally true man, such a shame...

[@emilgaarsmand7895]

I remember when it came out!! My god, you could no longer go alone anywhere, meaning a BC and it would be straight to the garage. It was actually even stronger than the current version back then!! I also still love it😊

[@trantrungnam612]

Back in the golden era of WoT in 2014-2016, a platoon of 3 BC 25t can quickly change the tide of a battle with a decisive attack. It’s so fast that hit and run tactic was so effective, to just swoop in and killed a tank or two with their combined damage output, then bailed out and reappeared in the other side of the map. In a one on one fight, you can bet BC’s 5-rounds magazine will make short work of any tier X medium it encounters as well. Good old time haha

[@jakubvyborny770]

To be honest it was hard to counter and the MM was horrible. We should appreciete todays version more.

[@angryskycraper]

I absolutely love batchat , it was one of my first tier X and it's so fun to play, it misses some ammo tho...

[@simondubois3165]

How you Read the map is incredible , you know how/when/where to hit almost everytime , keep going !

[@nottheh3ro734]

I really enjoy my batchat, I use bounty vstab and fire control system level 3 to make the gun handling work

[@johnfarscape]

JUST giving the batchat 2 more magazines of ammunition would increase its win rate by 4 or 5 %, I run out of ammo in about a quarter of my games with it.

[@MrDavor13]

What a kokot performance you did in last battle! Respect :)

[@matthewyang7893]

I really dislike tanks that are limited by ammunition like IS4, its insane how fast those 30 rounds can go and then you are defenseless.

[@fishdot2970]

I agreeeee so much with u i literally love is-4 with all my heart

[@matthewyang7893]

@@fishdot2970 If it was not for the ammunition IS-4 would be a fine vehicle if you aren’t fighting hulldowns, but given the meta changes and the ammo limitation unfortunately I don’t find myself playing with IS-4 very much anymore

[@VestanPL]

It's limiting the tank potential already before a battle and you can't do anything about it

[@slimslamfl]

Might also have something to do with the actual tank not being designed to carry more ammo

[@fishdot2970]

@@slimslamfl so u think they need to make the turret bigger in order to carry more ammo?

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

The first tank I grinded once the french lines came out. I loved it, was so strong.

[@peterbark8452]

You said something about the ammo count. However, in 3 games you were out of ammo only once; and that is because you took one shot in the air (for the medal?). The other games you still had 1/3rd left. Also, that 1 game was a selected game. I don't think the ammo count is really a problem for the majority of players. I do agree totally with the gun handling. It is a "hand to hand combat" tank and that is too little in the current game play. Also the Bat Chat used to be one of the fastest tanks, it can't really use that title anymore. So, speedwise, it needs a bit more too.

[@fherot8200]

For me it was the AMX 13 105. They changed LT matchmaking and added the tier X LT's when I was playing the AMX 13 75.

[@vitocorleone1423]

Once upon a time (2015) i played bc 25t with a friend. We were doing around 8-9k combined constantly. WITH 0 GOLD. This tank was beast! There were no TVP and Progg. There were no lights tier 10. This was one of the most op tanks and even in CW was high priority. The worst thing was being rebalanced in the bush by G. W. E100 who shoots blind 4 meters away from you and hits you for 750 with track and dead commander, or being shot by your teammate in the @ss because you don't suicide to spot for his 1 shot 400dmg.... Shared chat, map ping spam on sectors, being able to 1 shot an E100 with ap T92, med kit and repair kit usable only 1 time for the battle.... Good times. Also when skill mentioned cigarettes, i remembered that the first video of him i watched was on old Harkov map with CDC, cigarette in his mouth, whistling, cursing, shouting.... F-ed up Is3, KV-4 and some others alone and fingers were pointed around, and dirty words in different languages used..... That's when i knew, skill is special.

[@thunder7135]

Only one remark: batchat was never truly OP. It was high priority in CW because it simply had the right tools for the competitive gameplay.

[@vitocorleone1423]

@@thunder7135 back in the day only french tanks had clips. 50b, bc, foch and arty.. And bc with the clip, with the speed and with the ability to spot WAS OP!

Wrong batchat. This is the tier 10, 2360 damage per clip version.

[@GenHummel96]

10 more shells in the mag, gub handling improved by lets say 15% and maybe improve base accuracy by 0,2... Bat chat would be competetive again 👌

[@davidballantyne4492]

Would you use an equip slot to carry 10-20 extra rounds if such a thing existed? But I totally agree low ammo count should not be a balance factor.

[@coaulsi]

you meant to say "grew up ingame" you need a better eng tutor bat chat 25T is my fav too, i played it the same time you did, when every tank in every battle in competitions were bat chats.. the tank is pure gold, fast, you deleiver allmost 2000hp of dmg within 11sec, its perfect for flanking, which is the only manuever tank can perform even in real life, and be relatively safe, plus have sides/rears of the enemy, lightly armoured..where its gun is an overkill frontaly, bat chat is no bueno, but used properly, 100% tank, and its meant to hunt other tanks, not to be a frontline tank its like a td with twice the speed and half the size, half/third the mass and tourists, ofc, never going to see the 10k game withuot at least one, probably 2-3 tourists

[@geerliglecluse5297]

3 impressive games in this video. Unfortunately, in an average game, the gun does not work nearly as good as shown here. For me, BC25t the way it is now, works best on maps that are good for light tanks. In every other situation, I get better results with my TVP 50/51, which I think is the best autoloader at tier 10 in the game currently.

I get it that great players struggle when new players play, but we have to start from somewhere as well.

Just new players try to get better and everything will go allright. Watch videos a lot. Many youtubers are there to help and ofc the great index page with all the tanks and videos of them. Thanks sir for your hard work. Keep rolling and merry Xmas to all !!! And btw not every one got in the game and went pro mode at once !!!
