M26 Pershing: Medium or Heavy? (Plus other stuff)

Recently I’ve run across a small little debate about what exactly was the M26 Pershing? Was it a heavy tank or a medium tank?

This is a tricky question as it was technically both. That answer, even though correct, can be made more define. From what I’ve read, the M26 was a medium tank more than it was a heavy. On June 29th, 1944 the US Ordnance, who wanted a heavy tank to boost morale, redesignated the T26(M26)s as a heavy tank. Before this the T26 was a de facto medium tank that was developed from the T20 series of medium tanks. From June 29th, ’44 to the end of WWII the M26 kept its title as a heavy. After WWII the M26 was once again designated as a medium tank.

On suspected German rebalance – 猜测的元首平衡性

Author: Daigensui (US forums)

Here’s a bit of info about the upcoming German rebalance. You can consider the info… let’s say in accordance to what WG plans, ergo more than just “pure guessing” and less than a leak.

Daigensui:

Many have started panicking due the broad statement above. However, I believe while there will be quite a bit of hard number changes, those will be compensated enough to make the Panthers and Tigers enjoyable.

New “History” menu button

Hello everyone,

since the beginning, me and other posters have written a number of historical articles on various topics. Some, who’d otherwise be interested might have actually missed some of those, that’s why I added a new “History” button on the upper menu. By clicking on it, you’ll see a list of articles, sorted by nations.

I hope that it helps those, who are interested in the articles, to find what they were looking for and perhaps even the others to find the topics they want to know about.
