M-26 Pershing

[ONTOS]

I wish for the M-26 Pershing tank. It saw action in Jan. 1945 which is a Little late, but the F4U-4 Corsair did not see action till the same time and we have it.

+1,, I had this same wish a few times,, including during my trip to Mecca, (HTC) but I'd forgot that danged old Scotch,, I threatened to bring root beer back if it didn't show up before I arrived again ,, they just gave me a funny look as I waived and said goodby!
I sure hope it'll show up tho,, I can find that scotch, and I'll be back that way!

Only 20 engaged in combat of the 310 sent before VE day. But it looks like those 20 had a very busy time against everything. Even the single super Pershing had some fun.

GVing has grown in popularity with our game. Maybe it's time to revisit this one since it had matchups against the Panther and Tiger I\II. It would probably have a perk and sit on concrete as much as the Tiger II does. Or our M18 jocky's would have their heavy ride for those Oh so uncomfortable days when massengill just doesn't cut it.

Still more than the 87-105 Wirbles produced. The Pershing would prob end up in the same category as the T2 when it comes to Perk cost.

(I would like to see a small perk cost for the wirble too, it has a way to big impact on the gameplay. Osties and
M16 can remain perk free.)

Would like to see the M-36 Jackson.

This would be a game monster with a real Achilles heel on top of the turret.


It was not until September 1944 that the vehicle first began to appear in the European Theater of Operations. About 1,400 M36s were produced during the war.


The M36 was well liked by its crews, being one of the few armored fighting vehicles available to US forces that could destroy heavy German tanks from a distance. In an engagement with a German Panther tank at 1500 yards, an M36 of the 776th TD Battalion was able to penetrate the turret armor. Crews of the M36 found that it was better to target the turret rather than the glacis plate. In addition, crews found the Panther tank to be vulnerable when hit from the side.

I say if it was made and used even if only for a few months before the end of the war we should have it in game,when is the mobile artillery coming??

[Randy1]

It would be an interesting addition.

[Ack-Ack]

when is the mobile artillery coming??

We already have a mobile artillery platform, the LVT4(A) with its 75mm pack howitzer that can do both direct and indirect artillery fire.  Though it would be nice to have either the M7 Priest or the M4A3(105) as other mobile artillery platforms that you can select in-game.

[Zimme83]

The M3 also have a howitzer suitable for use as artillery. But since there are no way to aim the gun for indirect fire it's pretty much useless.

Same with the LVT4(A) when used in the indirect fire role, though it does have the artillery sight needed for indirect fire in the LVT4(A) skins, it's not modeled in game.

There is a way to use it for indirect artillery, but I have only done it a couple times under close direction from a mission leader in the MA

[Chalenge]

The best artillery we have is the M4A3-75. Within 6k the rockets can kill every hangar with resupply, and I have demonstrated this on several occasions where I have closed a vehicle field in less than 3 minutes elapsed time. The 75mm gun can do the same thing as long as you are within 10k, as well as destroy all the guns. This is possible even without resupply, though a single box comes in really handy.

this is not true. as many have whined about the hardcore gvers in my squadron cant hit a single building from 6miles away in M3s...I however cannot but it can be done hangers have been drop via indirect fire in the same manner with the M3

[Zimme83]

Yes its true. Unless you  see your target it is all about luck. You can try to aim at a certain height above the horizon but its more trial and error. The gun also move a bit when you fire so you need to reaim after each shot. What we would need is a way of aiming by using direction and elevation so that we could properly  adjust the fire.
