I like it too, it's like a faster Wolverine with a worse gun.

Love this tank. Keeper for me.

Never have a problem penning even at higher tiers. Speed and gun depression are excellent. Superb sniper.

I'm playing horribly in this tank. Finally got the final package and crew is @94%. (close enough).

Even with rammer, vents, optics, my VR sucks, aim time is forever. Not sure if I'll get the crew (at least SS, camo) before I move on.

Hope the line gets better.

I liked it too on it's final days. I will get it again later, and put some good equipment on it. I'll probably use optics, net and vents, to use it more like a scout-sniper.

It's DPM it's terrible, and I don't see rammer giving it an edge, but penetration and accuracy are very good.

what are you smoking?

[MADBrettZ]

Funny...... Still like this tank & only using camo net & binos on mine.

Hide, snipe, relocate, snipe again...... 

Don't get hit

132 at tier 5 is excellent, the best among tech tree medium tanks. Accuracy is not the best, but is good enough and better than some popular tanks, like M4 and T-34. Only Type T-34 is noticeably better.

It's attitudes like that that allowed me to get a gold mastery badge on my first outing in this tank. Stock. It's a quality tank.

I'd like it more if it had either better ROF or better aim time & dispersion or better acceleration. Has the worst dpm in tier 5, except for maybe the T-34 with the 76 nobody uses. As is, it's not a terrible vehicle, just not one I see myself keeping for very long as the combination of poor dpm and poor aim time limits your options. The DPM and aimtime just makes no sense. Yes it's fast at top speed but it accelerates and climbs terribly, it turns like an oil barge and it has cardboard for armor. Seriously the armor is so bad that most artillery will one shot you, I was one-shotted by an FV304 in it ffs. T-34 & Type 34 in skilled hands will crap all over a Skoda T-24 in the same, not to mention the Pz V/IV's it usually encounters. The V/IV might even have better traverse! It's basically a fast Chi-Nu without the good gun handling and dpm.

I really enjoyed it. got to the T25, saw that I needed 3 upgrades to make it anything but a tier 5 junkbox and quit playing it. was I missing something?

[ZeroMarks]

Play it like any fast medium scout and you can't help but have good games in it. Kept mine to grind some more crew skills.

[f1mitku]

Not me. Don't like T24. I'm currently on T-VIII (TVP VTU) and among the tanks I've played until now - I only like Skoda T25 (and I've kept it)... the rest is trash. And also - actually TVP VTU is not bad. I know that the people don't like it too, but I like it to some level. But I'll not keep it when I finish its grind and unlock the holly T-IX. 

[XGR369er]

I gotta say I have been playing this and after 10 battles I hate this thing with a passion.  The camo rating is too crappy and the zoom in time is so slow that this seem more like a bad tank destroyer then a medium.  I have to say when it hits its great.  Don't even have to use premiums most of the time.  But you can't slug it out with anything because  the zoom is so bad you can't fire for crap.  I am thinking maybe in this case the rammer might be useless and it might be better to go with GLD instead and vents.   I don't know but I can't get rid of this fast enough.  As for the tier 6 I think I might just free exp past that one if it is anything like this.  Heck so far I haven't been to impressed at all with this line of tanks that I would keep one over anything else I already have.

[Big Yeash]

Not enough T24 love.

 

If you're good at not getting hit, it's deadly. Astounded me how easy it was to get 3 MOE on the thing.

However, it became noticeably harder to grind the 95% MOE when the god damn Ikv 103 dropped, which takes off 70% of your HP every time.

The 150 alpha guns of the tier 5 Strv m/42 and tier 6 Strv 74 did not help either.

 

It's weird, because it's actually pretty underwhelming in soft stats - abysmal gun bloom, low alpha, long aim time (realistically). It gets out-DPM'd by almost everything else at tier, but its penetration is quite potent.

Absolutely not... not ever... 

[Crazyelite78]

I would honestly like it if it had better dpm. The reload time for the amount of damage it does is what makes less enjoyable for me. Though I will say I love the mobility and penetration it has at tier 5

...A very nasty piece of work. With the T-25, the autoloader makes the tank.

[Koncorde]

Just can't get this tank. Out DPM'd in every situation it ends up in. I wouldn't even mind if I was playing badly, but too often the low fire rate is so poor that you literally cannot make a dent in the enemy before you are overwhelmed.

I have been let down disproportionately by my own team it must be said, but even then I have bush-whacked a PzIV, and lost.

I can't recall another tank let down so woefully by its reload that also has such terrible armour.

[ThermalStone]

I consider myself something of a mid tier medium specialist and I think this tank is a turd.  Its DPM is just too low.  High penetration isn't even much of an advantage when other mediums can just load premium.  Poor armor doesn't usually bother me in a medium, but the low fire rate means you are often trading shots 1 for 1 and you have no chance of bouncing.  Mobility is adequate but not outstanding.  This tank works best when played as a camo or hill sniper, at which point you might as well be in a TD.

[radinko245]

I am not a mid tier medium tank specialist but the Skoda T-24 is not a bad tank. There are better tanks than the T-24 but it simply isn’t a bad tank. The gun is good for the tier, especially the penetration which I believe is the best at tier 5 (for medium tanks) and it does have good gun depression. I played mine with binoculars, rammer and GLD.

 

The issue might be with play style not just the tank. As already stated the DPM is bad, does not have reliable armour hence use the tank’s strengths which is the gun depression and penetration. Poke ridge lines, shoot, hide and wait until realoaded and repeat. The tank is mobile enough to get you out of trouble if needed.
