The M26 Pershing was developed at the end of WWII as the successor of the M4
Sherman. Weighing in at 46 tons with 127mm of armor, excellent agility and a 90mm M3
gun for its punch, the Pershing was a tank capable of standing up to the Panthers and
Tiger Is. At the start of the Korean War the M26 was sent to combat the Soviet built T-
34/85s. The M26 became the model for designing the M46, M48 and M60 tanks.

OCO-D (Office, Chief of Ordnance - Detroit)
As a response to the German King Tiger 88mm gun a new and more powerful long-
barreled 90mm main gun was developed and fitted on a T26E3. The new 90mm gun was
designated T15E2 and fired a two-piece ammunition and didn’t require the external
stabilization springs of the earlier models. The combination of the T26E3 chassis with the
T15E2 gun produced the T26E4 Super Pershing. Only 25 of these vehicles were
manufactured when production was ended.
