Vehicle Description

This American heavy tank does not demonstrate any prominent strong or weak points—it is simply a universal vehicle that can be effective in any combat situation. Its decent gun depression/elevation angles and reliable turret armor allow it to take advantage of terrain irregularities.

Historical Reference

Successful combat use of the assault M4A3E2 tank with enhanced armor spurred the decision to create a similar modification of the M26. Chrysler started production of the improved vehicles in July 1945. Trials revealed that it was necessary to reduce its off-road speed to avoid damage to the suspension. A total of 27 vehicles were manufactured to take part in trials and experiments.
