When tanks launched me and my college roommate played it nonstop and when we both got to the M26, I had my most fun game ever in tanks. Rolling down the Main Street of Poland with two M26’s back when not many people had a tiger 2 was just so awesome and fun and we ended up getting 16 kills between us. What a great tank
It still works quite well for me. It practically eliminates your frontal hull weakspots and only leaves the weak turret cheeks as large weakspots. Slap on bushes on those things and survivability is noticeably better.
I actually do the same with tiger h1, only 20mm less armor but much more survivalbility and most of the time if it goes trough only small amount of engine damage and and fuel tank goes black.
Depends on the tank you are using, I cant say anything cause there are alot of tanks worse than the PZ IV, but I naye naye on even the Super Pershing with my Panzer IV G and H
You are slowly becoming my favorite WT youtuber. I've find out about your channel only a week ago but I have already watched a lot of videos you've made. I really enjoy your content and thus wanted to give my feedback. You really, really need to diversify your videos. They do get repetitive. Add more tutorials, your thoughts on the game, changes, patches, ideas. Play games with full lineups, not just a single tank. Gameplay advice, tips and trick, there is quite a lot of stuff you can do. You should also add advice to these videos where you talk about a aingle tank. You mostly just small talk as you play but it would be nice if you could add some proper advice. And do more of the lower tier vehicles. I hope you get what I mean. You should ofc stay the course of these videos you make, line this one here, I guess that is what you have decided about where your channel will go. Don't hate, these are just some friendly thoughts in the most positive context. Btw, you have a pleasent voice for this kind of thing. And I appreciate the lack of cringe worthy jokes and screeching ala Phly. Take care man, wish you all the best.
I have some of my best results in the M26, and especially in its 6.3 brother the T26E1-1. The M26 shrugs off so many hits, has just the right amount of penetration to get its explosive filler through, and only really struggles in uncommon situations like when it suddenly needs to switch to APCR vs frontal Tiger 2s. Although I do wonder how well its 'just enough penetration' ammo will fare in the new volumetric meta (I've not played it since the volumetric changes).
I love this tank to death both aesthetically and from how it can perform if you run into the right enemies at the right time. Shame it aged like milk, fighting goddamn Leo 1s on the regular now.
Justin, you gotta side scrape in the M26, It’s size armor is 70 or so mm of armor so if you side scrape at a 10-15 degree angle you can bounce anything
Yes, I've seen this phenomenon... When this phenomenon is present, all enemy tanks will be with sides in front of you and your shells will have more penetration.
10:22 Justin, if you haven’t heard already, volumetric shells are kinda bugged atm. What happened was that your shell hit both plates that connect the T-34 turret armor, so the game basically added the thickness of both plates together, ultimately making your shot non-pen. Hopefully this gets fixed soon. Anyways, nice video, and I’ll just say it, I prefer the T26E1-1 over the M26, even though they’re pretty much the same tank :)
They’re pretty far from being the same though. The super Pershing has significantly better penetration and armor. My first game saw me pushing a tiger out of a cap so I could repair my gun and kill him; definitely can’t pull that off in the regular M26
Matthew Kirk When I said that they were the same tank, I was more referencing that the T26 is just a modified M26 with some miscellaneous armor plating slapped on
@@banimusa8478 M-103 is a bit of an odd vehicle similar to the object 120 where it's gun over performs for it's br but the armour under performs. but the object is far to low to have 480mm pen heat fs i think it should be 8.0 personally
I'm of the opinion that if the Pershing would've been developed and produced mid war, with that 90MM M3 high velocity gun, it would've completely replaced the Sherman and would've made mincemeat of any Tigers, Panthers or Panzer 4's, it would've made us armour dominant
Recently I have been playing M26 a lot just to take a break from the highest tier and one thing you didn't do but I like to is to take like 7 - 10 APCR rounds. You said you have never used it? WOW then you are just lucky person or oblivious. Why I recommend it? Well they have almost 300 mm of penetration on flat armor - APCBC has max 175 mm. If you meet the Tiger II H or the Ferdinand (like here in the vid) you will not be able to cause them any harm except breaking the barrel (and you will face them a lot). So my reccommendation is when fighting those 2 to first break their gun barrels and then finish with APCR. If you don't have APCR you will not harm them.
Hey, I was the t-34-85 at 12:05, sorry I died on you man, I was expecting the panther to stop when he hit the rock but when he hit it actually moved his tank to a better fighting spot. Other than that, it's pretty cool I got in a game with you
Someone else also recommended the T32. I’m doing the same. In my opinion the T32 E1 being 7.7 is absurd, but it’s a Russian company so what can you do. Still fun though, Tiger 2’s rival, or you could say worst nightmare
I tried to play my tiger 105 to see If the volumetric make it any better, but i Just got reminded why i stop playing that tier, American light tanks and British apds stabilizers.
personaly the m26 pershing is one of my most favorite tanks to play mainly it feels kind like a juggernaut against panthers, tiger 1s, t34-85s, t44(85mm) and its generaly a very versitle tank and i would very much perfer this over the king tigers in most situations and its at a lower br so no versing leos and stuff and if u want a more juggernaut type of pershing then try the super pershing
6.3 American is my favorite line up right now. Good money maker, especially if you have the premiums(T28&Super hellcat). Plus slapping Tiger 2's and IS2's is fun! Side note really wish you would have pushed that SU-100 off lol
I'm glad to see more content of this tank. Everyone else I have seen review it hated it. But that was before the shell change. Maybe they would like it now?
I usually don’t like to play, the Pershing because it was a pain.. grinding. I usually play the m36, or m41 bulldog but still if you have the Time. You can easily, grind this thing.. out.
I unlocked the m26 and put it in ly 6.3 line-up but i don't remember it performing that well. I guess i'll try again if my super pershing get rekt by russian bias
"Just angle" *Realizes you get up tiered to 6.3-6.7 every single game and angling doesn't do anything because everything can lol pen you. "Germany OP!"
When he said that angling does nothing, I just watched war thunder's official youtube channel that angling is the best way of protection of the tiger 1
Isnt their a tank like it with less armor at the same br it is just before it I'm pretty sure it has a stabilizer of that's true can someone tell me about it to see if it's any worth it

Same
To be fair, I have done it a few times recently and it works well in downtiers
@@anthony4331 Im going to take a shot in the dark and say the reason it works in downteirs is because they just cant penn you normally.

Using this tank is weird. It goes fast when I don’t need it to be fast but is slow asf when i want to go fast.
Smooth Operator ssssssuuurre
Do you mean the acceleration?
Smooth Operator yes.

Justin: You can't defeat me
Sherman: I know, but he can
6:03
Panther: let me show you a little trick I learned. *Execute Fury tactic*
SU-100P: shame
Whenever I encounter this tank I either kill it with my first shot or bounce every shot, no in-between.
As one who usually plays Pershing, that is very true.
Depends on the tank you are using, I cant say anything cause there are alot of tanks worse than the PZ IV, but I naye naye on even the Super Pershing with my Panzer IV G and H

The “No armor is best armor” works very well sometimes.
works well if you don't have enough armour to trigger the fuse not so much in the pershing though
Yes, I've seen this phenomenon...
When this phenomenon is present, all enemy tanks will be with sides in front of you and your shells will have more penetration.
*sniffs* *sniffs some more* Dotty, do I smell Freedom in my coffee? *sniffs*
Damn I've been playing this game for 7-8 years and just learned that i can .50cal enemy guns 🤫🤯
Also goes faster if you aim at the muzzle brake

I remember seeing the first random sherman right before US tanks dropped
Really enjoy my M26. Quite good for brawling on urban maps.
How about sherman 76w but shells have no HE filler
So i decided to play pershing for a bit because it seemed so easy when you played it.
It didn't end well.
I'm glad to see more content of this tank. Everyone else I have seen review it hated it. But that was before the shell change. Maybe they would like it now?
Bro Justin already knows what I want!! That sweet sweet Conway video!
Must be nice to be able to shoot barrels. Every time I try it it just ricocheted off
Cleanest shot I've ever pulled off: M4A3E8 filler shell ricochet off of panther gun barrel into crew cabin, 1 shot.
Haven't they fix penetration throw across buildings yet?
12:48 "ooh it a traitor" change to " ooh it a imposter"
Make the pershing 6.0 for fucks sake. It shouldn't be the same BR as the super pershing.
4m40s I had no idea you could shoot through those buildings on the Alaska map!
I usually don’t like to play, the Pershing because it was a pain.. grinding. I usually play the m36, or m41 bulldog but still if you have the Time. You can easily, grind this thing.. out.
I would put "virgin" on my barrel, but my GF took it
Weird flex but ok
justin: survives is-2 shot
me: that's fucking illegal!
Every time u say boop I just think of my cat that boops me to pet him and I think about tank bopping each other
Cool video btw :)
I unlocked the m26 and put it in ly 6.3 line-up but i don't remember it performing that well. I guess i'll try again if my super pershing get rekt by russian bias
I love the skin of that tank it looks like it was made out of clay!!
The Italian one performs a lot different going against the super piershing
there's always a "we're good" in every vid justin uploaded
Nice video! But, if you encounter a tiger 2, you might need apcr to get through the turret
probably won't get to the Pershing for a while, I'm grinding out the air trees of my nations to be up to par with my ground.
O have the Italy one it's notes good against British stabilizer s
Man the T26E1 is so fun but it's repair cost im paying 18k per match
Looking forward to this Tank, I'm currently on the M4A1 76.
A very fun tank, when getting downtiered the armor is awesome
Watched your stream and the fact that you made this video after that is impressive :)
Sorry about the Forhead joke bruv Love the content!
I grind german tech tree and I want some advice what other tree should I grind or what tree is worth the time.
8:12 its called a waffentractor lol XD
Last night i was deciding on getting a t32e1 or the m26...you convinced me alright😁
How much kills did you get when you played on Arden's?
(Just for research ^-^ )
Justin thank you, I had no idea you could 50 cal an enemys cannon barrel.
Apcr is for tiger 2 h turret front.
The penetration should be increased for the Pershing cause its the same that the T25
I always aim at panther capola when behind cover cause it's to fat
I will try to get it but I don’t play a lot of American tanks so I will try American tanks now
Taking long88 like a real american in the face while pushing with rangers and bazooka engineers i missed the coh tho
7:57 no hit indicator? Iv noticed that when i play.
I have been killed by M26 so many times in my Panther A.
Can’t pen them frontally 🤪
I’m totally going to get my M26 hehe 😉
I like how you got more kills in 1 game with this tank than I have in 12.
Mind if you try the M46? The older brother of the M26
"Oh hold up, its a traitor" 😂
Play the panther A for asserting dominance at 5.7
m26 is a heavy tank in COH and idk why
even with a broken gun barrel you can maybe kill them as they are close to you
I've been looking forward to this
Play the M50 Ontos next the six shooter 433mm pen HEAT
Nice, just as I woke up I see your video
You should take out the T29, its powerful and has good armor, and its just awesome 👌
Its one of my favorite tanks in all of Warthunder
