Time for a new American tank?
« on: July 08, 2010, 12:17:25 PM »
I know we just received the new M4s, but I would like something with a little more bang for my buck.

The M26 Pershing.

http://www.onwar.com/tanks/usa/data/m26.htm
Just to summarize the basics. This tank had a 90mm turrent gun. Two .30 cal MGs with one .50 cal MG
The turrent could make a full revolution in 15 seconds. Armor in the front was very good at 102mm. Top armor wasn't the greatest at 13mm-25mm.
The website contains all this information and much more.

Which of the four Pershings that saw service in WW2 would you like?

"Time for a new American tank?"   :rofl

Why it has been almost two weeks since the last American tank, hasn't it?

If you have read any other posts of mine on subjects such as this you will see that I don't want every single American aircraft. This is simply a wish, not a wish that absolutely must come true, I need it gimme gimme gimme immediately, but a wish.

I'm much more concerned about filling in the Japanese, Russian, French, Italian, etc, planeset. I have made a couple posts about them in the past. I have posted threads about Japanese tanks, aircraft.

Don't jump to conclusions and think

2 weeks ago? Are you referring to the M4s wrngwy? It's been more than 2 weeks hasn't it?

EDIT: I'm not adament about this tank being added immediately, it is simply a wish for something I would like to see in the future

Yeah, you're right.  It's been all of two months.

I was just amused by "isn't it time we..."

nothing wrong with more tanks, though I would rather see a lee or stuart in game before this, what we really need is a KV-1 + KV-2, Crusader MkIII ,Churchill Mk.IV, and last but not least, for a late war monster, the ISU-152 :)

Clearly this thread is going south  :lol

The Soviets and Italians could stand a few more aircraft.

The real gap in the tank set is in early/mid war.

Italian P-40


Italian M13/40


French Char B1


British Crusader


British Valentine (this one is in Russian service)
