The M26 obviously isn't bad, but it does feel bad when at the same BR you can play M26 but better(E5), or M26 but arguably better(E1). And then of course just .3 higher you have the M46 which packs HEAT and an enormously better engine. US is simply spoiled for choice at the BR.
I'm sorry but i just do not see any of the hype around the base m26. Pretty much everything at it's br outclasses it. Imo, it's in the same place as the leopard 2a5, where it isn't a terrible tank, but there just isn't any reason to play it bc there are significantly more capable vehicles at its own br. Everything about the pershing except the reverse speed and turret traverse are just pretty mid, and the turret traverse and the reverse speed are only a bit better than most other things. I will admit that fighting tigers and t34 85s it can be a bully, but what 6.7 vehicle isn't in a down tier? I wish that br got some decompression so it could be in a more balanced place
Its a jack of all trades, master of none. It's strengths come in its flexibility not it's raw statistics. Has good gun dep and turret rotation speed meaning you can always engage the enemy. The reverse is good so you can retreat fast enough to not get hit. It's apcr round lets u deal with heavily armoured targets from the front. And it has just enough armour to be able to side scrape or shrug survive most CAS cannon fire.
Says you'll lose going head on with King Tiger and IS-2. Forgets that the 90mm can pen the gunner optic rather easily and can pen the lower front of the IS-2 just as well 🤷♂
I learned good positioning and using good headphones so u can listen for enemy engines helps alot when ut stationary holding a position down. Made a huge difference when I started using headphones with atmos.i play with mouse and keyboard on xbox so I can't install any sound mods. 16:15 this map I have a hard time with
1:50 i strongly disagree, these two situations are not the same, as Tiger II (P) while having a worse frontal turret armor, it can still bounce if angled correctly, plus its a volumetric nightmare at times, at the same time Tiger II (H) turret is also pretty much paper, so both tanks besides having a different turret are similarily strong
Spookston said that it's bad at it's br but I honestly don't see how any of the pershings are bad tanks. I have a blast in mine and even got my first nuke in one. Maybe it's just the freeaboos wanting the pershing to be impenetrable.
Outclassed. That's all it is really. Decent at everything but not particularly good at 1 thing, except maybe reverse speed and gun handling. Overall not a great tank but can perform well in the right hands. (Same as most tanks to be honest)
Been playing a lot of 6.7 america lately and the m26 is just not as great as the other american 6.7s. Despite its lower weight compared to the E5 and E1-1 its acceleration is nearly the same which makes it feel redundant considering it neither has improved firepower or armor
sides of the lower front plate, machine gun port on hull, turret cheeks, cupola, driver/machine gunner hatches. If you have a decently powerful gun then you can pen the upper front plate when it isn't angled
Bro I would love to play Is-2 1944 with you as the Pershing cuz I like to wreck German mains with that 122 😂 I am aiming to get 5K kills with the Is-2 1944 I'm at 4844 atm Lol
41 minute video ?! Now this is a treat for the eyes , particularly if it’s 41 mins of pure m26 gameplay
😉
you know he likes the tank when the video is that long
Funny thing Spookston played the same tank but opposite reaction lol
I really like the Pershing, I get it is a victim of compression but it’s very strong in the right hands
Its so good man... I honestly think it's at the correct BR, it's just the Tiger II and E5 don't belong at 6.7 🤣
Finally someone playing my favorite tank instead of the Jumbo Pershing. thank you Turny!
It was a monster when it used to sit at 6.3!
Dude it was so broken 🤣🤣

imo the M26 is at the right BR, the E5 and Tiger 2 just dont belong at 6.7 :P
You know what matters to me in a tank? The way the gun sounds.

Not comparable to the Leo2A5. The 2A5 still outclasses most other 12.0 tanks whereas the M26 doesn't outclass any 6.7.

@@ushikiiibut the T26E5 is literally the exact same tank with two times as much armor
@@kaboom6236 ok
It's a Sherman at it's br, it doesn't have a gimmick, and it's not good at anything, but it's best quality is it's not bad at anything.
16:50 awesome music and sequence of bouncing shots like chad
I'm glad you noticed! I wanted to highlight the armour :)
“Wrath of the walrus” 🙂↕️
21:32 we both said "ooohhh" in unison 😂
I saw you play the m26 a week ago. I was happy to meet you!
Nice to know that your favorite tank is also my favorite tank, very nice gameplay :D
Great tank overall, good mix of mobility, armor and weaponry
It's so good!
Says you'll lose going head on with King Tiger and IS-2. Forgets that the 90mm can pen the gunner optic rather easily and can pen the lower front of the IS-2 just as well 🤷♂
+ APCR swaps to go through tiger IIH turret
Well they can pen u anywhere without really aiming. but u need to be pixel perfect.
@ That is the curse of the m26 lol
24:26 APCR: "Am I a joke to you?"
Yes.
Not the T26E5? Now that's an actual smoothbrain tank
Wrath of the Walrus!

wrath of the death walrus
15:48 you died 3 times because someone killed your 2nd M26, and then you were also shot down, your first, 2nd, and 3rd death in great detail lmao
Still sick but not enough to miss any turny video
32:50 Did... did he just put the shell through T-10s barrel??
The 76 jumbo is just .4 lower and its hilarious
Walrus of the wrath
Eat those morsels up!
An M26 in a down-tier? Is such a thing even possible?

I have nothin to say, other then Wrath of the Walrus
Turny :)
Yea for some reason you can rip off the wing of a plane and only get an assist because someone else hit it just before it crashed
I'm shallow and always go for the E5
Who is there after wathing spookston video about this tank? 😅
Spookston said that it's bad at it's br but I honestly don't see how any of the pershings are bad tanks. I have a blast in mine and even got my first nuke in one. Maybe it's just the freeaboos wanting the pershing to be impenetrable.
it’s not awful, just pointless when the T26E5 exists.
Outclassed. That's all it is really. Decent at everything but not particularly good at 1 thing, except maybe reverse speed and gun handling. Overall not a great tank but can perform well in the right hands. (Same as most tanks to be honest)
Eep time

I'd like to know how you kill this rotten tank?
sides of the lower front plate, machine gun port on hull, turret cheeks, cupola, driver/machine gunner hatches. If you have a decently powerful gun then you can pen the upper front plate when it isn't angled
Most tanks at 6.7 are able to go straight through the front plate.
NIPPLE. or UFP in a tiger 2 :)
Bro I would love to play Is-2 1944 with you as the Pershing cuz I like to wreck German mains with that 122 😂 I am aiming to get 5K kills with the Is-2 1944 I'm at 4844 atm Lol
Good luck on your grind dude!!
2:36 you know wat else is long and massive?
the super pershing barrel
"Full down tier"......... what is this you speak of?
