#Replace Jumbo 76 with M26 Pershing

There’s no maps that the Pershing fought in
The 76mm also can Penetrate the Panther’s armor in most post Normandy experiences, but the only map the Pershing fought on was Remagen in-game
eh, it still would be more accurate because a 76 cannot penetrate the turret on a tiger or the panthers front plate in some cases
Depending on ammunition it could deal with the turret on both of those tanks. HVAP could.
The first batch of 20 Pershings arrived in Europe in January 1945 and saw service from March 1945 onwards and were the only ones delivered. They would fit in a Korean war game but not in a WW2.
~300 Pershings were delivered to the front lines from January 1945 on and went into service in that January and saw their first armored Combat in February in the Roer River area. But they wouldn’t be a worthy addition due to there being only 1 battle in the game currently they were used on and adjusting the Sherman’s armor to be more Historically accurate would be more beneficial to Dev time and Gameplay
As others have pointed out, it wouldnt make sense historically to add if only one map in the game saw use IRL. Maybe if more really late war maps are added like Cologne, then maybe
They fought in remagen
Guess what else fought in remagen - the sturmtiger. They should totally replace the tiger with the sturmtiger on this map because it makes total sense to spend all that dev time and effort to create a workable tank model just for one map.
The pershing only fought at remagen, it would be a complete waste of time. The Jumbo 76 is fine deal with it
fun fact. that famous scene of the knocked out panther was because the commander didnt shoot at the pershing because he didnt know what it was and thought it was a german tank.
also, no.
Yep, it was in Cologne infront of the Cathedral
uhm, Cologne?
