The CM25 is a tank hunter modification of the CM21 - a Taiwanese APC based on the widespread American M113. Coming as part of the upcoming update, the CM25 will soon await all seasoned tank commanders as the new top tank destroyer of the Chinese ground forces tree!
Briefly: A Taiwanese APC, fitted with TOW missiles to give it anti-tank capabilities.
CM25, tank destroyer, China, VI rank.
Pros
- Powerful TOW versions
- Small silhouette
- Amphibious
Cons
- Light protection
- Limited ammunition
Since the 1960’s, the armed forces in Taiwan have operated with a large fleet of American-made M113 APCs spanning several variants. Thoroughly pleased with the vehicle’s performance and reliability, Taiwan decided to develop its own APC, inspired by the proven M113’s design.
In 1979, the first prototype of what would become the CM21 series of APCs was built and subsequently underwent testing. Once some improvements were made, the CM21 series went into mass production and officially entered service in 1982. By the time the production ceased in 1999, some 1,200 units of the CM21 series of APCs were built.
In 1987, the basic CM21 design was modified to allow the vehicle to conduct anti-tank duties, similar to the M113A1 TOW already in service at the time. In a similar manner as the M113, the vehicle was fitted with a single TOW launcher and received the new designation CM25.
By 2019, all M113A1 APCs among the ranks of the Taiwanese armed forces were replaced by newer vehicles. However, the CM21 series of APCs, including the CM25, continue serving in the present.
In War Thunder, the CM25 will be the new top tank destroyer arriving to the Chinese ground forces tree with the next major update. Although very similar in both performance and appearance to the M113A1 TOW already familiar to some tankers, the CM25 distinguishes itself from its predecessor by carrying more powerful versions of the TOW anti-tank guided missile!
As already mentioned, the CM25 shares a great deal of similarity to the M113A1 TOW, already present at the top ranks of the Chinese ground forces tree. Visual differences aside, the CM25 is slightly heavier than its American counterpart thanks to its larger spaced armor elements on the sides of the hull. While offering an incremental improvement in protection as a result, the effect won’t really be felt by tankers in the heat of combat. In all other aspects, the CM25 is neigh identical to its American counterpart.
What makes the CM25 stand out however, is its armament. Despite also being armed with just a single TOW launcher and a .50 cal machine gun, the CM25 comes equipped with more advanced modifications of the TOW ATGMs. Upon unlocking the CM25 however, tankers will go into battle equipped with the already quite powerful I-TOW ATGM as standard.
However, tankers will also have the option of unlocking even more powerful versions of the TOW missile, substantially enhancing the CM25’s tank hunting capabilities. One such TOW variant will be the TOW-2B. This later modification of the TOW missile enables so-called ‘top-down attacks’, meaning the missile explodes above the target, allowing the shaped charge warhead to penetrate the target’s armor at its thinnest and cause significant damage as a result. Apart from its devastating effect, this weapon system will also allow tankers to engage hostile targets behind cover, such as hilly terrain, without requiring direct line of sight to the target.
The CM25 will be arriving at the top ranks of the Chinese ground forces tree as part of the next major update to War Thunder and will become the crowning jewel of the Chinese tank destroyer line. In the meantime, make sure to stay tuned to the news to find out more about the upcoming major update. Until then, happy hunting tankers!

Where is mine M1128 MGS?????
Probably where you last parked it?
All answers (2)Smin1080p, That's a good one.
next to the Willies jeep with 12.7mm AA on the back
CoachJester, I WOULD FUCKING LOVE THAT AS AN SPAA
I always love the renders on these blogs, and yes China deserved some love this patch.
The only love China understands: Copy/Paste.
ESanders, And for no reason. They bullshitted the m1a2' turret armor value (currently classified) but if you ask for a top tier chinese tank you get met with "we know little about that tank". Yea no shit, you added a nation for fucking no other reason than to appease your chinese audience and then didn't have the resources to give them THEIR TECH. Like why did we add this nation again? We could have bullshitted an entire tech tree and had something like isreal with merkerva 2's and shit. But no ztz96a FUN
Good to see that China gets another vehicle. Sad to see its another ATGM box. Would be better if it had been Type 89 TD/PTZ-89. Its model was leaked a few weeks ago. And i really hope you wont do another stupid "Some things have to be unique to Chinese client".
The economy update is the worst update EVER, yall literally ruined two new vehicles.
Okay this is really actually irritating. You guys haven't added any of the actual chinese vehicles that anyone has asked for besides q5 and ztz96 variants. You guys haven't added a modern aa, a 10.0 mbt, and now we have 10.7. Your excuse is theres not enough info. Thats a crock of shit cause you practically guessed the values of the m1a2. And even so, why did you add a fuckin nation you can't get enough info on. Like for real, add Isreal if you are gonna bs a nation as hard as you have china.
Take the timer off the mines or at least make it 10 minutes
wow what a indigenous design, this copy paste gets itow before bradley gets it, nice meme , and top down atgm against 7.3 tanks nice meme gaijin.
That Machine gun doesn't really looks like a 25mm bushmaster to me but ok
