The most powerful American tank to see action in the Second World War, the M26 Pershing was armed with a 90mm gun which was capable of destroying German mediums and heavys such as the Panther and Tiger. With a slightly thinner sloped glacis, the M26 was more mobile than the Tigers.
The M26 Pershing entered service late in the war and had barely any effect on the course of the war.
