M-26 Pershing Seems Stupidly Weak

[AlienMenace]

This tank should dominate the battlefield.

[Voyevoda]

its a medium tank for all intents and purposes, and it performs its job pretty well for what it is. Don't play it like you would the Mighty IS-2 or derpy Kingtiger.

[Waxen]

Hardly. The gun war reportedly about equivalent to the Panther and the armor was between that and the tiger.

The health of this tank is way too low to be considered HEAVY TANK

At vet 2 a Panther's health is too high to be considered a MEDIUM TANK

Pershing lost to panther almost 90% of the time.

True, we need to make america great again.

Pershing should be reclassified as a medium tank. Problem solved.

If it's going to remain a heavy then it needs to be brought in line. It most certainly does not perform for its cost.

The first time I played with the Pershing, I lost like 3 of them. As was written above, play it like a beefy medium tank, not a heavy. It's like a slower Panther that is great at killing infantry. Think of it more like a Sherman on steroids, rather than a KT. It's actually a really great all around tank. My only complaint is that it takes too many CP's to unlock.

The pershing is a good well rounded Jackson with more armor. A small prize reduction does it.

Something similar to Panther/Comet just seems fine. Ah!... and take that "Heavy" thing out. I dont get why i cant have 2 of them on the field. Comparing the Pershing with the KingTiger/Is2/Tiger is like comparing coffe with oranges.

Actually some nations(Russia I believe?) classified the panther as a heavy tank since it was just as armored as a tiger 1 and was almost as large as one.

Bring its health in line with tiger.

Pershing's were considered a heavy tank and barely made an appearance at the end of World War II. It was a Tiger and Panther killing machine. The Pershing was downgraded to a medium tank AFTER World War II. try this...

Funny in how this game it preforms so weakly compared to the Tiger, Panther, and Tiger II.
