The Heavy Metal Monster || T26E5

The success and popularity of the M4A3E2 "Jumbo" tanks in combat led to a similar undertaking for the M26 Pershing tank. Conversions started in January 1945 with M26 prototypes modified with heavier armour in the turret and hull into the T26E5. While the heavier weight strained the suspension, the performance was considered favorable. However, the end of World War II led to the necessity of these tanks to disappear, with only 27 T26E5 produced by the war's end for testing.
Introduced in Update "Ground Breaking", the T26E5 is an assault tank that can be most effective at close-ranges alongside the frontlines. Its excellent frontal armor can withstand hits from many armor-piercing rounds, and the fairly good 90 mm gun, inherited from the M26, often destroys enemy tanks with its explosive rounds in a single hit. However, it should be noted that the armor penetration of the main shell might be insufficient against some opponents, and the mobility of the T26E5 does not allow it to be among the first to occupy key positions.

Would you consider this better than T26E1-1 and M26E1? Those can shoot the T41 though.

I do not recognize the 1st map.. I do like the T26E5.. played it many times.. Although my favorite (currently) is the 7.7-8.0 American tree.. I have only been playing for about 1.5 years.. The only countries I play so far.. American tree just got into 11.7, Israel 8.0 and Russian 10.3.. and only reason I am at 10.3 Russian is because of the squad BMP vehicle..otherwise at 6.0 there ... nevermind, watched the first part again.. it is the way this map is cropped for the battle.. I now see it, just haven't played this map in a real long time

Nerf America at this br. too op, heavy tank, so much armour, good mobility, 50 cals, almost unpennable from front
I remember playing the M18 GMC and shooting the side of the T26E5 , and not being able to pen it, especially the turret from the side. I have had this in a couple different scenarios, its crazy how op america is at this br
