M4 Sherman

Ironically, the Pershing had poor reliability. It used the M-4s drive train, though the Pershing was significantly heavier.

I saw an exhibit in the Patton Museum which displayed the M-26 Pershing.  Right behind the Pershing was a fan belt.  It said that due to an improper fan belt, Pershings tended to overheat and this caused either 7 or 13 of them to be lost in combat!

That may be but it was common for new tanks to have mechanical troubles. Most of them had something that needed tweaking or fixing. Thats the nature of heavy vehicles.

even today this happens....no REAL way to fix it
