M26 Pershing vs T34-85

It’s the evening of August 17th, 1950, near the city of Pusan, in South Korea. UN forces have been pushed back from the moment they became involved, going from just south of Seoul to cornered against the sea in Pusan in just a month. The North Koreans are equipped with Soviet T34-85s, which outnumber and outgun the American tanks, leaving the soldiers fighting them with bazookas or no anti-tank weapons at all. Lieutenant Granville George "GG" Sweet leads a four tank platoon of M26 Pershings, which have
been performing well in the defense of Pusan, but is about to face the tank that has been dominating the battlefield in the last month. An urgent message arrives through the radio, "Flash Purple!" incoming enemy armor. Sweet and his crew prepare for combat and engage in a fierce tank battle against the T34-85s. They form a wall across a road and aim straight ahead as the enemy approaches. Fullerton takes his position, when suddenly a T-34 rounds the corner before him.

I'm a 71 yr old woman and retired truck driver who began watching KZbin videos of gardening and such to find a hobby to fill my days. I was curious when one of your earliest videos showed up in my feed. I was impressed and shared it with my son. A few months later I went to visit him, his girlfriend and her 9 yr old son. Being a typical 9 yr old, he loves anything military, especially aircraft and was excited to show me his collection. He began to tell a story and demonstrating maneuvers. It didn't take long for me to realize that he was telling one of your stories. When he finished I asked if he got it from Yarnhub. When he realized I liked you too, we spent the time before dinner to rewatch a few of his favorites. My son told me recently that he has shown interest in other areas of history and is reading above grade average. You and your team have lite a spark. Your love of history shows in every episode.

[@justacat2]

this is so wholesome

[@ponycentaur1456]

fun fact: alot of crews preferred the upgunned sherman over the pershing due to the reliability, and (for some) familiarity of it due to the previous war. In addition, alot of bridges were too weak for pershings, so many had to keep using SHerman tanks until better ones were constructed for the heavy beast.

[@Tutel9528]

If even Pershing was too heavy for bridges at barely 42 metric tons i wonder how would Tigers and Panthers would’ve fared..

[@ponycentaur1456]

@@Tutel9528 IT WAS A NIGHTMARE for tiger crewmen. ALot of the time, they had to wait for engineers to make sure a suitable crossing was available. And if there wasn't, costly train rides or long detours had to surfise. It was one of the main reasons why tiger tank encounters were rare on the western-american front. Other than lack of numbers, they were often used on the eastern front for heavy tank combat and alot more suitable crossings.

[@HanrryMG42]

​@@ponycentaur1456 that the asian bridges of that time, they made with wood or poor concrete. That ehy they cant handle tanks, im surprised that the T34 reached the Pershings without problems, i think he is less weight though..

[@selfdo]

@@Tutel9528 POORLY in Korea. The lack of good bridges and roads, and the hilly terrain largely negated the armor/firepower advantages of the German "big cats". Mobility, especially the ability to traverse hilly terrain, is what counted the most, and the Sherman had that above even the Soviet-made T-34/85. Using HVAP, the Shermans M1 76 mm gun also out-ranged the D5T 85mm gun on the T-34, and was more accurate. However, it was leadership, training, doctrine, logistics, and close air support that accounted for the reason(s) why, in the August-September 1950 battles along the Naktong river in SE Korea, why the Shermans creamed the DPRK armor.

The M26 Pershing really was quite the overmatch for the T-34-85. It's frontal armor was essentially impenetrable to the 85mm gun and there was essentially no range that the M26 could realistically hit the T-34-85 that it wouldn't penetrate unless the shell struck at a very unlucky angle (as happened sometimes with older conventional full-caliber style AP projectiles). However, the M26 were very few in number as their production was very short lived due to the end of WW2 so there were only a little more than 4,500* ever made due to the lack of a need. Once the Korean War kicked off the M26's replacement, the M46 (which was just a Pershing with a lot of improvements) was already in production so there wasn't a need for more M26s to be made. In fact a lot of M26s were busy being converted to M46s (yes the tanks were that similar that the older M26s could simply be updated to the M46 standard). For a bit of a comparison in hard stats (these don't tell the full story but they'll give you an idea of why things unfolded the way they did). Frontal Hull Armor (effective thickness): -Pershing: 155mm (102mm inclined at 42 degrees) -T-34-85: 90mm (45mm inclined at 30 degrees) Frontal Turret Armor (effective thickness) -Pershing: 216mm+ (102mm mantlet, 114mm underlapping turret face, spall shield of unspecified thickness) -T-34-85: 180mm (90mm mantlet, 90mm underlapping turret face though coverage was to a lesser degree) Maximum Armor Penetration (best AP shell available, only using data at shared test ranges): -Pershing (T33 AP): 211mm at 100m, 200mm at 300m, 193mm at 500m, 178mm at 1000m, 174mm at 1500m, 150mm at 2000m, 139mm at 2500m, 128mm at 3000m -T-34-85 (BR-365): 119mm at 100m, 115mm at 300m, 111mm at 500m, 102mm at 1000m, 93mm at 1500m, 85mm at 2000m, 76mm at 2500m, 70mm at 3000m There are also other factors like the Pershing being considerably less cramped than the T-34-85, having actually pretty good sights for it's time (unlike the T-34-85), being an exceedingly stable platform due to it's design and weight, having decent commander's sights (again, for the time), etc. There are a lot of soft factors that go into why a tank is successful and they're often have a greater impact than strict hard stats if the tanks are even roughly comparable. Unfortunately by the standards of their day, they were not even remotely comparable even if the difference seems minimal to us by modern standards were tanks are armored to resist shells with 600-800mm+ penetration values. It's all about context. The M26 Pershing crews back then also had absolutely no way of knowing this. They likely knew that their tanks was pretty good, they might've even known that it was likely better than their opposition...but there is simply no way that they logically could've assumed that their vehicles were that much better because assuming something like that and turning out to be wrong is how you get yourself killed. It is always safer to assume that you're at best on par with your enemy when it comes to such things. After all, making such assumptions when you don't know is simply laughing in Death's face and asking him not to laugh back. As a final note there is also one last very important thing to touch on. The M26 Pershing was "practically" frontally impenetrable to the 85mm D-5T anti-tank gun the T-34-85 carried. However, there were two weak spots where it likely would've been capable of penetrating at close range. These weak spots are actually quite infamous. The bow machinegun port in the hull and the coaxial machinegun port in the turret. Both incredibly small targets but important to note regardless. There's also the obvious factor that none of this matters if they got to the M26's side because it's armor was only 76mm on the sides, still much greater than the T-34's but still completely vulnerable. No tank is invulnerable, no tank has ever been invulnerable. Some tanks have just been notably harder to kill in their time.

[@someturkishguy8638]

Tldr the T-34-85 is a medium tank, with rushed production and design due to the brutal war going on when it was designed. The M26 is a heavy tank produced very late into a war that was already guaranteed to be won by the point it was made, and had many amentities unavailable to the 85. Both North Korean and UN tankers were both extremely brave and fought hard with both machines

[@user-qw6zj5ix9k]

Why dont you compare a Renault FT to a Tiger I?

[@geraldl33playz79]

The T-34-85 APCR(BR-365P) has a penetration of 187mm at 100m

[@ThatGuyOrby]

@@geraldl33playz79 and I didn't choose to use APCR for either tank because it was rare and expensive to produce and it just hurts the T34 even worse because the Pershing's had over 300mm at a similar range. Permitting APCR makes it even more of a slaughter.

[@user-fb1dr1pv7e]

О настоящем геноциде, который принято не замечать Одно из самых любимых обвинений, которые выдвигают пропалестинские демонстранты - это обвинение в геноциде мусульман в Израиле. Давайте я вам расскажу, что такое настоящий геноцид мусульман. Против которого почему-то сотни тысяч людей не выходят на демонстрацию. Да. Я про геноцид уйгуров в Китае. Огромное количество уйгуров и других граждан Китая, исповедующих ислам, заключают в трудовые «Лагеря перевоспитания». Все это делается без проведения следствия, без решения суда, без предъявления обвинений и каких-либо ограничений срока пребывания. Китай уничтожил тысячи мечетей. Кстати, халяль в Китае преследуется. Мужчин арестовывали за ношение бороды, а женщин - за покрытую чадрой голову. Один уйгур был отправлен в «центр перевоспитания» после того, как он закрыл свой ресторан на время рамадана: это, как было сказано в документе, свидетельствовало об «опасности экстремистских мыслей». В лагеря отправляли уйгуров, совершивших хадж, или поездку в какую-либо исламскую страну. Но это еще цветочки. Сотни тысяч детей были разлучены со своими родителями и отправлены в специальные школы-интернаты, где из них пытаются сделать «настоящих китайцев». Некоторых мусульманских женщин насильно стерилизуют. Распространены и принудительные аборты. Нет? Ничего не ёкает у вас, любители слогана про реку и про море? Судьба почти 35 миллионов мусульман вас не беспокоит? С плакатами «От Синьцзяна до Тибета для уйгуров будет лето» на площадь выйти не хотите? А теперь давайте в Израиль перенесемся и посмотрим, как живут тут мусульмане. Никто мечети в Израиле не сносит. Никаких препятствий для ислама не существует. Мусульманские кладбища не оскверняются. Почти все надписи в стране на трех языках - на иврите, английском и арабском. Четыре арабские партии имеют своих представителей в Кнессете. И был случай, когда именно голоса арабских депутатов решили судьбу правительственной коалиции. На нужды арабского сектора из бюджета страны ежегодно тратятся миллиардные суммы. Арабы освобождены от службы в армии. Хотя бедуины, например, служат - они отличные следопыты. Кстати, специально для бедуинов Израиль построил семь «городов развития». Добавлю, что израильские друзы не принимали участия в жестоких столкновениях между евреями и арабами. А многие записались добровольцами в создаваемую израильскую армию. И ни одна друзская деревня не была разрушена или выселена. Законодательством Израиля установлено, что государственные телевизионные каналы Израиля должны часть эфирного времени выделять для передач на арабском языке (или обеспечивать перевод ивритоязычных передач). В ивритоязычных школах с седьмого по девятый классы преподают арабский язык. При этом все желающие могут продолжить изучение арабского до 12-го (выпускного) класса и сдать выпускной экзамен по арабскому языку. Рождаемость у мусульман в Израиле выше, чем в соседних Ливане, Египте, Иордании и Сирии. Не очень вяжется с геноцидом, правда? За последние десять лет число арабских студентов в вузах Израиля увеличилось на 82%. Каждый шестой учащийся в стране - представитель арабской общины. Специализируются в основном в сфере здравоохранения (дипломированные медсестры) и образования (24%). За ними следуют медицина (16%), бизнес-менеджмент (15%) и гуманитарные науки (14%). Не буду врать - еврейское и арабское население Израиля почти не пересекаются. Но это происходит, прежде всего, по желанию самих арабов. Но область, в которой арабы и евреи активно пересекаются - здравоохранение. 20% врачей, 25% медсестер и медбратьев и 50% фармацевтов в стране - израильские арабы. Пандемия коронавируса стала поводом для еще большего сближения. Арабские и еврейские медики создавали совместные бригады. Арабы очень боялись, что после 7 октября евреи будут им мстить. Но никто в Израиле не призывает к мести. И еще два слова про геноцид. До середины ХХ века в арабском мире проживало около 820 000 евреев. Сейчас там не осталось практически никого. Евреев выгоняли из своих домов, их имущество отбирали, многих убили. Вот, что такое геноцид. А два миллиона арабов, проживающих сегодня в Израиле, являются доказательством того, что никто геноцидом в стране не занимается. Сегодня идет война с террористами, а не с мусульманами.

I sometimes refer to it as "World War 2.5", because of just how influential, wide-ranging and huge in sheer size it was. For America, it was actually the 5th-deadliest war we've ever fought (behind the Civil War, the two World Wars, and Vietnam).

only pindos can incorrectly evaluate the battle of the lance of heavy vehicles against the lance of medium tanks...And if there were IS-2, pershings would burn. The Pershing was originally created as a medium tank, but at the end of 1944, to raise the confidence of the crews, it was reclassified as heavy. In May 1946, due to the changed American concept of tank forces, the Pershing was again reclassified as a medium tank. He is 10 (!) tons heavier than his opponent!

The Pershing's was so powerful it over penetrates the armor ironically making it ineffective at killing the enemy in one hit. Though that T-34-85 is already combat ineffective from that first hit because the shell that over penetrated had likely turned the turret crew into minced meat.

[@Tutel9528]

I mean it wasn’t really that powerful.Pershing’s gun when firing standard APBC rounds had very similar performance to 88mm mounted on Tiger I.Though it had much stronger tungsten cored rounds high velocity rounds than Tiger I such as T33 and HVAP,but they were rather rare in quantity. But either way it was indeed a bit overkill for T-34s armor.

[@gabriels5105]

@@Tutel9528 the gun not being good due to lack of pen assumes that they dont have pleanty of ap to use. Its like thinking m1 garands in ww2 arent as powerfull as they were because they dont penetrate as much when firing standard ball which forgets that almost everyone had ap and were firing ap so theres no reason to expect them not to be firing ap cause ap was everywhere. Its also is easy to forget that the 75mm sherman had a better gun than the 76mm and the tiger because it makes alot of shrapnel which is the point because your fighting infantry not tanks. It is also easy to forget that those ordnance bureau like to under powder rounds so the barrels lasts longer. Bad comparisons happen all the time with American stuff. Its the whole Iowa has huge advantages over Yamato but everyone forgot what they were including the people who crewed her.

Thank you for the great video! 좋은 영상 감사합니다! Many countries are truly grateful for participating in the Korean War. 많은 국가들이 한국전쟁에 참전한 것에 진심으로 큰 고마움을 느끼고 있습니다. I hope people remember this war and I look forward to good videos in the future :) 사람들이 이 전쟁을 기억해주기를 바라며 앞으로도 좋은 영상 기대하겠습니다:) 감사합니다!!

Absolutely amazing graphics, well done Yarnhub! Keep it up.

[@tachankafreeman3442]

I love how your videos went from simple animation to masterpieces like this 👏

[@ThomasCorfield]

I love watching tank battle documentaries with real footage, but there's something about these that is even better! So well narrated and animated.

[@Bonedagi]

One of your best animations so far, a minor issue I have is with Pusan being portrayed as somewhat of a barren landscape, even though it's usually very green.

[@iamthehype3684]

Well to be fair the landscape probably had no shortage of bombs and other explosions at the time. It can take anywhere from a couple years to a couple decades for the fauna and flora to come back after a fierce battle/war

[@arturneveshopner9187]

The quality of the animation is perfect! And the stories are always very entertainingly told!

[@Scaryriceman18]

This video is amazing! It changed my whole perspective on how tanks fight, I had no idea it was like this!

[@aadhithyar447]

The tanks are impressive,the animation is almost lifelike. Yeah, it was worth the wait. Thank you Yarnhub!!

[@harshgandhi8972]

9:15, I just love the way the sun's relections looks so real to real life, the animations have really become more and more amazin!

Holy crap… I just came back to your channel to see how your doing and god damn! You’ve improved so much! ❤

[@questionmark05]

The animations keep getting better every video! Awesome work, Yarnhub!

[@williamscheuerman1867]

This is perfect, I'm actively researching the M26 for a story and this was a perfect example of it in actual combat and what it could do. Thank you!

[@megebot]

Only an idiot would compare two different tanks. If there had been IS-3 on the battlefield, the Pershings would have been unable to do anything.

[@alexandrbelousov154]

​@@megebotабсолютно верно! Даже с т 44 у них бы возникли огромные проблемы.... А так расстреляли устаревшие танки начала Второй Мировой войны с необученными экипажами Северных Корейцев всем чем можно, и пехотой с базуками, и танками конца войны . А с экипажами СССР, которые против Тигров и Пантер на них воевали до Берлина, был бы иной результат ....

[@QuackyMC]

@@megebot is 3 is basically the soviet equivalent to the maus except weaker. seems scary but 1 bomb or bazooka could absolutely destroy it. the only thing the is3 accomplished is scaring the west, making them spend more money and resources on heavy tanks, to counter a threat which was basically no threat at all.

[@nightmareplayz2131]

how do you not have more subscribers?? your animation quality is awesome and the content is great!! i absolutely love your videos, hope you get more subscribers and your channel grows!

[@Thermotriangle]

Yarnhub I have watched your channel for a while and love your work it’s awesome how far this channel has gotten. Keep it up man

[@lelexUS34]

i love all af your videos this was a true masterpice i hope you keep making content like this!

[@kingghidorah8106]

The Chads and Stacies pull another masterpiece with huge improvement over the very last video. Thanks for your dedication.

Technical Sgt. Cecil Roy will definitely like the amazing amount of work and dedication you have put in this video. You did an amazing job on this and the amount of effort you took into this video is incredible!

[@themortinators2964]

This channel is very intriguing and entertaining to watch,your videos are so informative about the special events that took place,keep it up

[@charlessapp1835]

Fantastic! Your quality is becoming amazing! It is guys like you that make KZbin the REAL History Channel. If only they would appreciate you guys. Can you do some more Korea stories? The Battle of Fox Hill would be a great topic!

[@ClenchingHalo45]

I can’t believe how far yarnhub has gone from 2d animations to almost hyper realistic 3d animations.

[@neeevirus]

Holy heck I havent watched yarnhub's content in probably a year When I clicked this video I thought I was just gonna get some cartoony 3d style, which is pretty decent Instead I get this high quality stuff sheesh I commend them for their amazing content

[@kristinkernsnider1479]

Just realized your channel joined KZbin in 2019 the same day as my birthday, great work lads

[@RookVR_]

I remember when y’all’s animation was 2d, now those humans are scary realistic, amazing work and thank you for sharing history with us!

[@sithumthathsarakoswattage3678]

Terrific work guys 🤍 By the way, I think battle for Greece is one of the least discussed of all the ww2 stories. There weren't any glorious aircrafts involved but allied wings were completely outnumbered. I'd very much like to see a video on the topic. Maybe Roald Dahl would be best to make the story around because he has recorded many of the events in his writings?

[@Boxer_23]

I’m impressed on how much you’re animation have improved by a bunch

[@paleoph6168]

From the duel at Cologne to the battlefields of Korea. The M26 Pershing is America's answer to combating legendary enemy tanks, whether they be German or Soviet.

[@r.j.dunnill1465]

The Pershing was evolved into the M47 during the Korean War, but glitches kept M47s from the conflict.

[@gibbon8827]

comparing the Pershing of 1945 with the T-34 of 1943 is of course strong, but something tells me that the fight would be more honest if instead of the T-34 there was an Is-3, which, like the Pershing, was also created in 45. no, I understand that this is not a competition who is cooler, but be proud that a tank of 1945 defeated a tank of 1943, well, that’s it ...

[@lector-dogmatixsicarii1537]

​@@gibbon8827 You mean IS-2 mod 1944, not IS-3. If we're being serious, NorKs actually had IS-2, if you really want to dick ride the heavy classification. Not that would mean that much when you pick apart the reality of glaring Soviet foibles. IS-3 was effectively Armata vaporware until the IS-3M. M26 was re-designated as a medium tank by the time of Korea. Pershing is 4th quarter 1944 mass production after over a year of preproduction fucking around by the bureau. T-34-85 S-53 mass production that the iconic T-34-85 parade diaspora really descends from is 1944. If we include test batches, M26 precursors are also found in 1943.

[@r.j.dunnill1465]

​@@gibbon8827 Except the Soviets chose to supply their North Korean allies with T-34/85s, because they did not expect any intervention on behalf of the South Koreans. Against the South Koreans, they were more than enough. If they'd known the U.S. and its allies would intervene, they would have restrained the North Koreans from invading.

[@redalert6706]

Man your animation is just amazing like I remember that video where a bf109 spared B17, even though it was still 3d animation, this video is just straight up awesome as it was so realistic, just wow man

Amazing! The Animation is worth an animated movie! I hope you feature the Philippine Expeditionary Forces in Battle of Yultong which was hailed as the first battle won by Filipino soldiers in a foreign soil.

The M26 Pershing is such a handsome tank

The T-34-85 and M26 Pershing are two of my favorite tanks. They are modeled fantastically in this video

[@Commander9013]

I love how the gun is so effective that it's ineffective at first

[@YukarisGearReviews]

It wasn't really "ineffective" the HVAP round probably traveled through the turret and killed everyone in it, with the driver probably unaware of what happened

[@owo1744]

@@YukarisGearReviews What you said. None of the NK crewmembers were really that smart. Probably didnt even know they were hit, and if they thought they were hit, probably thought the round did no damage.

[@Bellator_of_the_Shadow]

@@owo1744 it isn't that they weren't smart. its that they were inexperienced

[@Tutel9528]

This was the tunsgten cored HVAP round which had insane performance against flat armor. Main AP fired by Pershing’s 90mm gun wasn’t that strong,it was toe to toe with Tiger I’s 88mm Pzgr 39.But still very effective against T-34s rather thin armor.
