It is so rare because it used to not be worth it. It was 6.7 I'm pretty sure and the normal Pershing was 6.3. Hell, even the Super-Pershing was 6.3 at that same time i think. Super-Pershing is same br, same gun, and its free. Making this tank basically a waste of money if its not on sale. Also the longer reload. Playing a medium tank like a heavy tank but without the ability to take hits when you are at your same br or in an up br.
Somewhere where it could arguably be worth it is in simulator where in one of the events the super pershing isn't available so this could serve as a sidegrade to the regular pershing perhaps
Super pershing has a longer reload, is infuriatingly slow to accelerate, the armor profile is exactly the same under the add-on plates meaning you have the same weakspots (MG port, lower plate, and the side turret is completely exposed). I'd rather play a significantly more mobile tank with slightly less effective armor, same gun, and a faster reload.
My favourite BR in US tech tree, just lovely. Not as great as back in the day, but it's still very fun. Gonna use them again for the incoming event, I honestly don't remember how many events I have cleared Only using the 6.0 till 7.7 line up in the US and UK tree.
@oakley1906 yeah, Italy rank IV fucking sucks The only actuality good vehicles are the Tigris, M18 and M109G (they are not even Italian or Hungarian vehicles) The rest is either too gimmicky or completely trash
The M26E1 is just better in every way. The Super pershing doesn't even have better armor bc the side turret weakspot doesn't even have the add-on plates. Also the super pershing can get its vertical turret drive shot out by MGs.
The M26 should probably be 6.3 but I do perfectly fine while it's 6.7. I do better with it than I do in the Super pershing, but worse than in the Jumbo pershing. I feel like the solution to this issue is to move the Tiger 2H/SLA, Jagtiger, and Jumbo pershing to 7.0 and leave 6.7 as is.

What I'm surprised is that they made the Super Pershing free, it used to be a premium

I bought this thing during the 4th of July sales, not regretting it at all! This thing is fantastic!
This tank is FREE in WTM, kind of weird ngl
I'm not a fan of the regular 90mm but really like the versions with 200+ pen. Even the one on the t32e1 with a 15s reload is surprisingly good.
It comes back every 4th of July, I sadly was unable to pick it up this year

My first Premium was the Tigris, it really helps you in Italy 6.0
"My first premium was a German tank adopted by the Hungarians, in the Italian tree"

The top tier US tank at the time was the M103
Mine was herman the german sherman with the beginning of the beta 😂
i don't know how much of reverse gear you got on thid but the regular m26 has better reverse and general speed than t26e5 and e1-1

I liked this thing alot until I got good with the short 90mm and realized the reload is king
Yes
Up tiers are theft
