Wheres the M26 Pershing??

[Praetorian]

Hey guys i tried out the multiplayer of US army but im surprised that there is no M26 Pershing like in the first game is there really no M26 Pershing available on COH 2??

same place as the Maus, T44, IS-3 and the tactical nukes. It wasn't used in the battle they are based off. There's tons of posts on this try the search function.

Also Relics said they have no plans of adding the Pershing.

It may be un-historically accurate, but what if the T14 Sherman tank had only one call-in per USF commander. although in reality two were only built

Sadly this tank is nothing more than a prototype, had it been used as much it would of been in stories, movies and games

Too bad im just gonna rely on M10 and Shermans to counter enemy tanks such as tiger tanks :(

No what you rely on is the OP P47 strafe. Cause engine damage on the Tiger and call in the Skill plane and watch the fireworks. Relic needs to fix the Jacksons Penetration and nerf the crap out of the P47....

Im having a hard time countering every single German tank US tanks are outmatched by Nearly all German tanks at every 1v1 encounter better rely on 1st COH Tactics use Anti-tanks to hit the frontal armor + Sherman tanks and Infantry to flank and destroy German tanks

Especially the King Tiger

As USF one thing you NEVER have to fear are Medium tanks. The Jackson shuts them down as does the USF AT Gun. It may have less Pen then other ATGs but it has a higher ROF and range then the others and its cheaper. Against Mediums its beast.

The problem is they can do very little to heavies. Nothing the USF has does well against Heavy tanks.

Against the Slower heavies a Jackson can win if its mismanaged or caught out of posistion by keeping at max range. But it cannot give chase. This is where the P47 comes in. Damage it as much as you can with a Jackson then when it tries to escape call in the P47 on top of it. It works everytime.

The P47 is really really dumb. I have called it in on top of a Jagdpanzer and Luchs and it killed them both before they could escape. No skill involved.

Okw have some units which can shoot aircraft. Ostwind, SdKfz 251/17 Flak Half-track, Flak Emplacements or any tank which can get mg42 upgrade.

I'd just hope in hell for the Sherman Jumbo, that was common, used in the battle and had great front armour.

Although I do agree US and soviets need better base line units, neither should rely on callins to survive. bad build for commander system.

[Jomomma]

I personally think the pershing should be added just for the multiplayer aspect of the game and less for the historical accuracy as really how many king tigers and jadtigers were produced and used during the war and yet the are pumped out in multiplayer like no other, the obvious problem with usa having the pershing is the ability to dismount and use the pop cap expander however make the pershing cost more population would be probably a simple fix. As of right now usa feels very weak to me, they have crap rockets compared to the shrek which is really strong, the at guns are fine, the jacksons kick ass but good luck winning jackson, rifleman, and sherman army vs volks, ober troops and a jagdtiger ... you wont win if they are smart and can retreat and out rank you vet 5 max.... but thats all my opinion but as it stands I have yet to have a hard game vs a usa player online at all, whereas german and russian players I feel more tense

I would personally like to see the hellcat again that sucker was fast and could add a good bit of an advantage in flanking german heavy tanks

[Praetorian]

Sherman Jumbo would sure be a Pretty good tank if they add it in

The only one that can do it well is the Flak Half track which is usually dead late game. Yes a counter does exist for it. The rest of the units have a very hard time shooting down aircraft and only reall pull it off with Luck.

Even if they shoot down one typically the other three will still do the work. I dont feel such Click and Win abilities should be in game myself. And I play USF exclusivley now.

I would much prefer to be able to use Other Doctrines then Airborne without fear of screwing myself as soon as a Panther or Tiger show up. To do this though the Jackson would need a rework.
