When the M26 Pershing enters the field, it becomes the focus of all large-scale American assaults, often escorted by as many other tanks and infantry units as possible to make powerful but short punches intended to capture enemy territory to knock out large enemy forces. This cannon is only a "reasonable" anti-tank gun, but is surprisingly accurate against smaller targets like Infantry and Weapon Teams, making it a great overall weapon. The tank carries a pair of Light Machine Guns, but its primary weapon is the massive M3 90mm General-Purpose Cannon installed in its massive turret. Like most other tanks, its rear and side armor is considerably weaker. Its front armor is thicker than any Axis tank's, except the King Tiger and Jagdpanther. The M26 Pershing is considerably larger and more heavily-armored than the M4 Sherman, especially at the front. Only one M26 Pershing is allowed on the battlefield - the ability is disabled while it is still alive, and re-enabled only if the vehicle is destroyed. Each use of this ability costs 800 800 and consumes 14 14, making this the most expensive American unit. The M26 Pershing is called in to the field using the M26 Pershing Heavy Tank ability - which is unlocked by purchasing the same-named Command Upgrade from the Armor Company tree.
Although rare on the battlefield, it is one of the most dangerous units to an Axis commander.
Well-armored and carrying a powerful cannon, it is meant to be the Allies' answer to the German Panther, Tiger and King Tiger heavy tanks. The M26 Pershing is the American army's heaviest vehicle, and their only heavy tank.
