Historical Significance
The **M26 Pershing** was introduced in the final months of World War II as a successor to the M4 Sherman. Armed with a powerful 90mm M3 gun, it was designed to counter German heavy tanks like the Tiger and Panther. Its superior firepower and armor made it one of the most formidable tanks deployed in the war’s final stages and during the Korean War. Despite being introduced late in the conflict, the Pershing had a lasting influence on future tank designs, becoming a key asset in post-war armored divisions.
