12/14/2023 0 Comments Super heavy tank battleThe Heavy Tank T26E1-1 "Super Pershing" was introduced in Update 1.57 "Battle March" and while it takes the basis of a normal M26 Pershing, it is presented with an increase in armour and firepower. Seeing some combat service against the Germans, the tank would serve until the end of the war, when sometime in the post-war period it was scrapped. The soldiers of 3rd Armored Division received the tank and provided additional protection with add-on armour plates on the turret and hull. The vehicle found itself sent to Europe for combat trials in March 1945. This was successfully installed into a T26E1 prototype, informally designated T26E1-1. ![]() The long 88 mm KwK43 cannon proves superior to the 90 mm M3 cannon on the Pershing, and so the US Ordnance developed a new gun to improve the 90 mm penetration capability, the 90 mm T15. With the development of the T26E3 Pershing tank, the US Army found themselves with an adequate heavy tank for the European theater, but it was still not to parity with the latest German heavy tank, the Tiger II.
