2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The M26 Pershing was developed by the United States at the end of World War II to counter the heavy tanks of the German army, and was requested due to the experience of suffering heavy losses to the Tiger in North Africa.However, the upper echelons of the U.S. military dispatched to Europe believed that the M4 Sherman's 76.2mm gun was sufficient to counter German tanks, and were reluctant to introduce it, but after firing at captured Panther Tigers, it became clear that they could not penetrate the frontal armor, which infuriated Eisenhower.In January 1945, they were introduced one after another, starting with the 3rd Armored Division of the U.S. Army, but as German heavy tanks had already been destroyed to the point where they could no longer function as an armored division, there were almost no tank battles between armored divisions.In the Pacific Theater, M4s were suffering increasing losses due to ambush attacks by Japanese field artillery, so they were used in the Okinawa ground battle.It was actually used during the Korean War.Although it overwhelmed the North Korean army's T34/85 in the Busan and Incheon landings, the M4 was active on the front lines in inland battles due to its inferior mobility.It is said that it was often used as a self-propelled gun in hastily constructed positions, making use of its 90mm gun.Due to the effects of the Korean War, it was stored and repaired in Akabane, Tokyo, and Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture.Specifications Overall length 8.65m Body length 6.33m Overall width 3.51m Overall height 2.78m Weight 41.9t Suspension system Torsion bar system Speed 40km/h Action distance 161km Main gun 50 caliber 90mm gun M3 x 1 (70 rounds) Secondary armament12.7mm heavy machine gun M2 x 1 (550 rounds) 7.62mm machine gun M1919 x 2 (5,000 rounds) Armor Turret Mantlet 114.3mm Front 101.6mm Side 76.2mm Rear 76.2mm Top 25.4mm Vehicle body Front upper 101.6mm Front lower 76.2mm Side 76.2-50.8mmTop 22mm Rear top 50.8mm Rear bottom 19mm Engine Ford GAF6002B 4-stroke V8 liquid-cooled gasoline 500hp/2,600rpm Crew 5 people
