THE US TANK BUILT TO TAKE ON THE TIGER - M26 Pershing in War Thunder

NEW CAR CHANNEL: • TURNING THE CHEAPEST S...
The M26 Pershing was built to take on the Tiger. This massive medium tank graced the fields of WW2 late into the War. Armed with a 90mm cannon that could easily punch through the armour plate of the Tiger 1, it's an absolute monster in War Thunder!
The M26 in War Thunder is at Battle Rating 6.3 putting it 2 brackets above the vehicle it was designed to destroy but quite often you'll be playing against Leopard 1's and Marders ALSO including the IS-3 and IS-6 putting it in a tricky spot!
This is an easy tank to learn but very difficult to master. It went from being one of my least favourite tanks to play to one of my favourites pretty quickly!
The M26 Pershing is amazing.
Also, I manage to hit a Duck with a Zuni Rocket... so that's pretty fun too! :)

[@andrewshepherd1537]

@@JNBurdo5 Zuni is an impact warhead. They are the precursor to the modern Hydra rockets. However, as low as the Duck was flying, even if he had missed, the splash would have caused enough damage that he wouldn't have been flying much longer. But it looks like Odd got a direct hit

@@notsoracistraspberry4168 If you can get a 3-4 KDR in that thing then you could probably get a 5-6 KDR in a T-34-85 or T-44. Despite being slower than it’s irl counterpart, not having the stabilizer it had irl, and missing about 40-50 mm of pen on its APCBC shells, it’s armor which was specifically designed to deflect a long 88 at 500 yards is regularly penned by Russian and German 75. The tank is garbage, you’re just a good player.

[@NuSuntSerb]

@@alphastronghold715 but the pershing patton is godly, amazing aphe

[@ODST_Parker]

Pro tip for the A-1H. Don't take three 2000lb bombs. It'll weigh more and you'll only get two drops because the wing pylons drop together. If you take the center 2000lb bomb and two 1000lb bombs instead, you'll get three individual drops AND you can take two more Zuni pods.

[@tws1man582]

[@mono9702]

I love the Pershing! America 6.3 is such a great Br, both in terms of mm and line-ups. So happy you finally made a video on the M26 Pershing

[@alphastronghold715]

76-90 mm with armor penetrated frontally by virtually anything you fight with every tank you play is a great lineup to you? Most enemies have 105s-120s at this point. The smallest gun you’re facing is a Panther D in a full uptier with a 75 (which can still pen you at close enough range for most tanks).

[@apersondoingthings5689]

@@alphastronghold715 yeah the only tank immune from the panther at 6.3 at close range is the Pershing, the medium tank. However American mid tier was absolutely broken so the had to butcher everything. The Pershing has remained untouched mostly but I would expect that to go to 6.7 considering it outperforms most other things with a win rate of 60%. The jumbo was butchered because tigers and panthers struggle to aim, T25 would actually be warranted with the stabilizer which it should have but now it’s a slower worse armored version of the Pershing. All the other 6.3 American tanks have been moved up because German players at that tier kinda suck, such as the super Pershing and the Pershing jumbo. The only tank at 6.3 with a 120ish mm is the is 2 in which the Pershing in real life was much better than in penetration. Honestly Gaijin butchered the most fun og line up of the Pershing, super Pershing, M41, F8F-1B, and the AD-4

[@mono9702]

@@alphastronghold715 But here's the thing that makes the Pershing so fun... 5.3 Germany players

[@mono9702]

​@@alphastronghold715 But yeah, it's not invulnerable, never said it was. It's such a great tank in my eyes because it has the armor to brawl, mobility to flank, and the gun to reliably kill. The Pershing is a well-balanced tank that fits many playstyles. If I'm in a downtier to 5.3, I go balls to the wall and play like a heavy. If I'm in a midtier game, I play like a medium, flanking and playing around the frontline. If I'm in an uptier to 7.3, I suffer; cus who doesn't in an uptier? And with my usually 6.3 line-up consisting of the M26, M41, M36B2, M42, and A1H; How is that not a good line-up? It's also one of my highest performing ground vehicles with 977 frags, running a 4 KDA, and near 60% winrate. It just needs a lot of learning to know how to play this tank.

[@alphastronghold715]

@@mono9702 That would be the case if it ever got anything other than a full uptier. I don’t think I’ve played a single match out of nearly 100 games where I fought anything below 5.7. Most of them were 7.0+.
