The M26 Pershing

[lyric1]

[MK-84]

the Jagdtiger was a monster with 3.5km kill everything capability and 250mm armour, its very unlikely to see it action in AH, since you pretty much need to bomb it to kill it, used correctly (3k out or more from enemy tanks).

Its not comparable with any other tank/tank destroyer in ww2.

Assume The enemy is player A. and you are player B. Bear with me the diagram is very complicated but this will give you a very good understanding on how to defeat any GV in the game. Most players do not have the ability to unlock the secret I am about to share with you all.

Why not start from behind while you at it ?

Using terrain choke-points there will be no high degree flanks or rear attack, and getting those flanks will cost you your tank

More aircraft please. Yak-1, LaGG-3

IMHO the M-36 90mm motor gun carriage would be a much more usefull allied ground vehicle than the Pershing

Would it be any more useful than the M18 in the role of rushing to the flank and getting shots on the 90°?  I can't think of a time that I failed in defeating the side armor of en enemy tank with the M18.

Think of an M-18 with the main gun of a Tiger, then you get a M-36. I'm not saying it ought to be added, but I think it would be a more practical vehicle then the Pershing. If I had a wish for gv's, I would prefer early war German tanks, British tanks, or heavy Soviet tanks and assault guns.

Actually, the 90mm AP had performance more close to the Panther's 75mm than the King Tiger's 88mm, with standard AP ammo that is.

Oh and I agree with you 100%, there are some major holes to be filled before the Pershing even becomes a thought for HTC.

I agree completely with your statement, its more close to a Panthers 75 then anything else. I found the M82 APC ammo the M36 used was useless against the Panther/King Tiger's front armor - it did well against Panzer IV's. an M-36 would have to close to 400 yards or closer to actually score a kill with this round. Because of this, a less velocity round was made for the M-36 called T33 AP-T which allowed a frontal kill shot on a Panther at 1000 yards. Basically the notion that the M-36 was a "Tiger destroyer" is a little inaccurate, it was better then the M-18 to an extent, but the M-18 in game has far better ammo then the M-18 in real life.
I've had my Panthers destroyed from 1400+ yards from an M-18 when it wouldn't happen in real life. Not sure what kind of ammo the M-18 has, I would suspect the M-36 would be given the best ammo available rather then standard loadouts.
