M26 Pershing Heavy Tank (Patreon)

The M26 Pershing Heavy Tank finally reached the US Army in Europe in February 1945, although only 20 saw combat. The finished tank had a powerful 90mm gun and thick armour that together made it a match for the heaviest German types. However as the Pershing used the same engine as the M4A3 Sherman but was 10 tons heavier, it proved underpowered and mobility suffered.
