Historical description of the US T26E4 Pershing model

The T26E4 Pershing was a development of the M26 model, intended for fighting the heaviest German tanks, such as the Tiger II. The most impressive feature of the tank was its 90 mm M3 gun with additional enhancements, combat-tested at the end of the war in Europe. The T26E4 was used in several engagements, where it proved highly effective, being brought to Europe for combat trials. Although only a few test vehicles were built, it gained recognition for its ability to penetrate the thick armor of German vehicles.
