We need the Type 97 Chi-Ha - this way we can have ground vehicles during FSO and scenarios on the Pacific front. Why let the ETO have all the fun?

Your Sherman can shoot down my Chi-Ha at 3.0K yards!

Seriously???  Me thinks people give WAY too much credit to the Pershing.  It was more on par with the Panther than the Tiger, and it was certainly not on par with the King Tiger.

Oh, and the Pershing is #48 on the list of gv's to be added.
 

No.

One of the issues is also the fact German tanks suffered from very POOR armor at the end of the war, sabotage was often done to tanks with poor welding during the production. Another thing is - consider when the M-26 came out - the Germans have pertty much lost the war, all the good tank crews were gone.
Only a handful of good tankers were left, to compare the M-26 with anything is frankly hogwash.

I would much rather see the Su-100 or Su-85 along with other RUSSIAN tanks that seen far more action in the war then something that managed to destroy a tank or two at most.

     Oh well, the great authority on AH GV warfare has spoken.

Not claiming to be THEE authority, just pointing out some things some of the gamers may want to think about before wasting one of their three wishes.  In terms of AH, the Pershing and the Panther would be on equal footing because poor quality and untrained/inexperienced crews are not modeled.  So yeah, comparing the two makes perfect sense in terms of AH.

Like the above post mentioned, the Su-100 or Su-85 would be a more legit gv to add in terms of armor, they actually made a few dents in German inventory and themselves were dealt their backside a few times by the Germans.  It would be far more prudent to add in those than the M26.  Heck, even the KV-1 makes more sense that the M26.

So give the side of your head a quick jolt with the palm of your hand and stop rolling your eyes, it adds nothing to the thread.
