- This tank was so much fun to go back to and play in War Thunder. I have a pretty bad fever right now and I totally forgot I was sick while I was playing it! lol
The T26E1-1 Super Pershing in War Thunder is an absolute beast. It's got some pretty obvious weak spots at close range, but at medium range this thing is an absolute animal. This bolt on bully sits at 6.3 BR along with it's unmodified counterpart, the M26 Pershing and the Walker Bulldog, a great lineup for USA!
Thank you guys for watching! :) - Ігри
Hey, guys! Slightly less energy for this video. I have a real bad fever right now but I'm so hype with your guys support I'm trying to keep up the daily uploads and streams on Twich! Thank you all again!
hope you feel better, hope it’s not the virus
I've really been enjoying your content, odd! Love how you zoom in on the slivers of tanks you see on the edge of your screen, really helps follow what you're doing. Its the little stuff!
@@patrickeaton9350 I'll add more of those. I assumed the resolution was high enough to see some vehicles, but I'll pay close attention to more of those occasions.
@@danteluciani2318 Me too! :D
Dude we will be here. So take your time and get back up. Please take a break for your health. I'm so impressed by you and your power and awesome!
The add-on armor was a WW2 tank commander’s remedy for the weak mantlet. It was actually taken from a Panther. They also added a counterweight to the rear of the turret.
That's 'super' cool! It's weird how it has "ears", though leaving the lower turret cheek exposed!
OddBawZ tank fire isn’t nearly as precise IRL especially in WWII/early cold war. You’re aiming center mass and praying
@@talltale9760 I always wondered if today tankers aim for weakspots or Center mid...
@@lordtachanka6489 i usually aim for the turret ring or lower glacis tbh
@@lordtachanka6489 today's tankers don't meet other tanks so yeah
The super is a monster, occasionally a round will sneak through at a crazy angle but that's War Thunder for you.
yep, today a T-34-85s round went through my lower plate at with no difference in elevation but it went through with no issues
@@shanelabbe6165 Come on, we all know the t-34-85 does not care about either armour thickness or angle
you can one shot it if you shoot where the turret forms in the front before it angle to much pretty reliable shot still is a monster
The Dutchinator is that why I bounced a T-34-85 off the back of my tiger E turret at 50m
I feel like I die too often in this vehicle
4:45 my man just pulled a smoke bomb vanish
"IVAN QUICKLY POUR VODKA INTO THE ENGINE"
The modifications are a field edit, another interesting fact is that when the gun was test fired against an old Jagdpanzer IV, the shell went through the front plate, through the engine block and out the back, it then buried itself a meter deep into the ground
It's funny because I got the super perishing yesterday
and benny's phat...
Same haha
It's ace ive just spaded mine, reload takes the mick though and if your against someone who knows what they're doing they jus shoot under the 'wing' plate on your left turret side an ammo rack you through he turret so if you're angling your turret face it slightly left an your breach and loader will absorb it through he opposite spot which is better then getting ammo racked cause your reverse speed is faster then your forward speed until you unlock engine (i think reverse speed stays the same for tanks throughout their upgrades and the super is quite slow going forwards at first)
5:23 “oh that’s a big chungus”
Indeed
Been loving ur vids ever since phly shouted you out
Lol same
I sub because of phly’s shout out and also because of your good content
So like 2 days ago?
I've been playing my 6.3 lineup for America a lot lately I forgot how good the superpershing is
I love this tank! Love the video Odd. You always make war thunder look super easy lol
I love the energy from these videos man XD so many WT UA-camrs get stuck in these loops of complaining about the teams, the game balance, and overall negativity. But every one of your videos is just full of laughs and having a good time on top of the informative commentary, it’s awesome. I’ve been a player since 2013 so I really appreciate still learning new things about the game after all this time. Anyway, your videos never fail to make me crack a smile and you’re spoiling us with these daily uploads. Can’t wait to see more!
I'm in love with your channel, so happy I discovered it. Thank you for this amazing content!
Hey Odd. I just wanted to say that as a PhlyDaily viewer, I came here after the shoutout he gave on your behalf. And now that I am here I really like you content! Keep it up dude!
Same here.
Started watching you more recently; really enjoy the more detailed commentary in this older video. 🙂
You're great across the board, of course. Thanks!
I love the edit to show us where you were aiming for. Great touch. Earned a sub right there.
Came here from Phly but now I stayed for the awesome content, you are a great youtuber, I hope you will keep this going for long
what a great way to stard the day with a massive mug of coffee and a video in the super pershing, thanks for the video mate! cant wait for you decal to be avaible to buy!
Your gameplays kind of feel like you're telling a story. Very down to earth and full of detail, with the occasional comic relief. It's almost like I'm actually playing lol
Hey, I just found you recently on youtube. I love your videos! Great content!! Keep doing this
Your warthunder videos are so wholesome I love it
Loving everything about this man cept the main menu music playing. Heard it for so long but otherwise keep it up!

Those 2 pringle cans above the turret had a simple purpose: Nearing the end of ww2 U.S army wanted a bigger gun to match the long 88 on the king tiger they replaced the 90mm on the pershing with a longer 90mm but the gun was heavy and couldnt elevate so they added those cylinders which has some kind of spring mechanism inside to help elevate the barrel. Not only that, the front suspension had too much weight on it since the long 90mm was alot heavier so they also added counter weight behind the turret. Originally the super pershing doesnt have extra armor plating like this so its a field modification but the gun was mounted in the u.s and shipped to the frontlines. The tank crew wanted more protection so they cut the 80mm ufp of panther and placed it on the mantlet and some 38mm plating to the front and turret sides that look like ears
this is the only tank I have a flawless double ace in! great vid!
loving your content man keep it up!
Good laugh had there.
...let's get up in our jet... cut
...Welcome to abandoned factory!
Good effort all around, glad to see the super-P out and getting good solid use.
I like the Super Pershing, it feels somewhat like an American IS-2. I quite like the slower, methodical play style you have to adopt with it. As to the vehicle itself, it was a unique prototype/proof of concept vehicle that was actually sent to Germany at the end of WWII for field trials. It reportedly knocked out 2 enemy tanks. While in Germany it was upgraded by having extra applique armour welded to its turret and hull, the plate coming from Panther wrecks. The gun made the vehicle very front heavy and the large pistons attached to the turret roof assisted with the recoil and also helped to keep the muzzle of the gun barrel from grounding. The War ended before a production version could be put into service. However the project was continued after the War and a production variant was made with a small number being produced (you may recognise this in WT as the premium M26E1 in the US tech tree). They gun was changed for a different long barrelled 90mm but functionally it was the same. None of the produced tanks ever saw active service and with the advent of HEATFS rounds the concept of an up-gunned medium tank was dropped.
Quality production as always. Hope you get better soon!
Thank you!
hey! love the vids there's amazing!
I found you just a bit before the phly shoutout, love your content
a thing of beauty and a joy to behold :D
Very nice, love the tips too
It was a Pershing being tested with a 90mmL72 gun (that had performance equal/superior to the "long 88"). Too much gun led to permanent drooping, so in a field workshop they added equalizer springs off a howitzer carriage, and a hefty counterweight. Then, since the Pershing wasn't truly a "heavy" tank, they cut armor slabs off a Panther and added them to the glacis/mantlet/turret cheeks.
The one vehicle was assigned to either the 2nd or 4th AD (can't remember) and saw a little action in the last month of the war; knocked out a couple tanks at long range, I believe.
super pershing is a prototype pershing with added on armour FROM a german panther tank, this was created after they made the modifications to the new barrel , that needs the springs because its so big and it also needs the big counter weight in the back. there was only one or two in germany (where they created the t26e4 which is what it was historically called, and it only saw two battles, no one knows the story of the first, but apparently the second was it destroying a king tiger in a town.
This is one of my favourites too, loved it since I first heard of it in a World of Tanks video Jingles made when they added it absolutely years ago.
Couldn’t wait to get my hands on it in WT. I spaded it back when it used to get up tiered to 7.7 and only had as much pen as a Panther. It was terrible, but I loved it. I learned to make it work.
Now it’s 6.3? With a pen buff to rival the Tiger 2? Ooft.
Got my highest kills in one life using it, have yet to beat it.
The Super Pershing was actually a field modification, as far as the applique armor goes. The T26 prototype was just a Pershing with the longer gun.
Also love ur vids! Keep it up!
I saw your question was partly answered but in greater detail the hull armor was on it when it was shipped to europe, then the upper plate of destroyed panthers was added to the turret once it reached europe. Very cool tank, seems rare for there to be only one vehicle of its kind yet it saw action and wasn’t a prototype.
As other have said take your time getting well. That said thought i'd throw out some idea's for video's i'd like to see.
1. I'd love to see you do some video's on specific maps and what positions are good and which should be avoided. Half the time when i spawn in i've no idea where to go in my tanks.
2. Would love to see some videos on how to do CAS as brits. Whilst they got some new rockets last patch, (no idea how good they are though), i generally feel like i really struggle. Doesn't help i struggle to aim bombs well, but honestly it's hard to even know what loadouts are even any good, especially given the 20mm generally can't hurt anything but the lightest targets.
The RP 3s are good if you shoot directly on top of a tank.
This is great!
Mark Felton did a video on a Super Pershing versus a King Tiger! Very cool stuff and explains the history of the actual vehicle during the war!
I’m here from philly. Also Benny is phat
The Super Pershing was a prototype. 1000 were authorized, but with the end of the war IN Europe, only 25 were ever produced. The existing tanks were used for target practice, following the production of the M48. This particular tank is one-of-a-kind, however. The bolt-on armor was a field modification that happened once.
Tanks like the Super Pershing are why I love playing the US.
The teams are good, the armor is great and the gun is FANTASTIC!
Really pleases my inner Freeaboo!
The gun mounted to the Super Pershing was actually an exsperimental case, as it is the same gun mounted to the t32. The sheer weight of the extremely long barrel, needed for higher shell velocity, would eat the vertical drives up, so they added the hydrolic crank system to the top to support the weight of the gun.
One of my favorites tank. I grined all rank V with this tank
The added armor was originally a field modification however overtime it became more popular to use. Not every Pershing had all parts most of which not having the “ears”.
I’m looking forward to unlocking this.. just around the corner
Fun fact about the Super Pershing, the bolted on hull armor was taken from a boiler. Only the mantlet armor was yoinked from a Panther. Also, more of a nerdy nitpick, the actual numerical designation of the Super Pershing was the T26E4-1, not E1-1.
You got a hole in your right wing!
Looks at right wing:
Right wing: I don’t feel so gud
that jet has such a nice turn rate
I'd like to see a video on the German SPz BMP-1 with the Ho 229.
One of my fav combos for just having fun.
Dayum i stared playing wt even before ground forces and only today i finally got enough SL for this
I'm glad the SP is being praised
I love this tank to death, so far its the tank that has the most ground units destroyed in my WT career, somewhere over 1,000
It's so sad that the SP was scrapped after the war, I would give it one big hug
It was a field modification, only 1 was built, and the plates where taken from a Panther, and a Sherman i believe. It killed like 3-4 enemies
It'll forever piss me off how some vehicles off which only 1 existed are in the regular tech tree, but other vehicles of which hundreds have been built and saw use are only premium.
N O I C E ! ! 👍 👍
Historically this is my favourite ww2 tank
The Super Pershing was a field modification on a regular Pershing (although with the higher velocity 90mm) and it did see a little combat in WW2
Death Traps by Belton Cooper. Been quite a while since ive read this book but if i remember right he worked on it. he talks a bit about it and its one probable kill that it had in combat (something to the effect of "it blew the hell out of whatever it was, pieces went everywhere, but none of us were brave enough to go out and see what it was" haha.) Ithe supes is just one little part of the book but still cool stuff all the same
Hope you fell better
This thing is scary to deal with in Panthers. Although Tiger 2’s 88 can usually go through the places without the spaces armour.
Subscribed :D
that thing's a beast holy shit
A nice tank. Have played it a lot. As an average player without premium, I find its 9.5k silver lions repair cost a bit more than I'd like (not as bad as the T34 though), but heyho. Obviously it can struggle with some uptiers, but overall I like how reassuring both its gun and armour are. Also it's funny how much I've missed APHE ammo once I went above about 6.7br in my USA lineup. (I do like my 8.0br lineup even though it's a bit weak, though). And yeah the T25 went up from 5.7 to 6.0br fairly recently and still has one advantage over the Pershing - a full stabiliser at cruise control 1 and when braking - very nice (but I think at 6.0br it no longer feels strong).
The best thing about this tank is that it's rarely uptiered. Also bouncing shots and murdering people with its giant gun is pretty great too!
Hey odd when the Pershing made landing in Germany engineers cut off an upper plate from a panther tank and welded it to the front there’s a really informative video about the Pershing vs the king tiger
I believe the armour was field modified as it was a limited production prototype and not many were fitted with that gun and a major Harrington of third armoured didn't want to lose the tank he had so he ordered it to be armoured. so what engineers did which shows there ingenuity. they cut a piece from the front hull of a panther that had been destroyed and welded it to the mantlet making sure to have holes for the optics and guns. they then took some standard boilerplate and welded two pieces I think to the front hull. and added the ears in order to protect the front turret cheeks
Oh I need this tank
I also have a recommendation for a video, like im sure you have a lot of clips and videos and like bloopers, you should really make a bloopers video or like behind the scenes
I might like this better than pholppy woppy but great content
That's is a nice skin
9:00 it look like that guy knew what your were saying there xD
P59A is such a beast of a anti Cas fighter that I'd sing praises for it till sunset. It's almost bullying, because dedicated German Cas isn't entirely good at fighting fighters so it's just a matter of catching them in their Cas runs and because this thing turns on a dime there's nothing you can't evade(Benny is fat obviously). I use this in my 6.7 lineup and I can't tell you how many 262s I've bullied in it. Worth every penny, though I got it for free. One of best task event reward planes thus far.
Odd, try the T30 as well. It's a nice challenging but rewarding gameplay. It's shell with 199mm pen can deal with almost everything and HE can meme others as well. In a down teir it's crazy good
The spring is to hold the gun and a counterweight in the back, it’s the more advanced model because the spring is incased early ones only had big springs
The super pershing is as real as the t95. Techinically real, but was of no siginificance in any war. It just looks cool
The USA didn't make a lot of these. I believe they first upgraded the gun in america (it was just a lenghtened version of the 90mm M3 that the americans used on the regular pershing). Then they shipped only one to help in the invasion of Germany, where it was upgraded by allied engineers. They fitted it with plates from German tanks, such as the panther. It was the heaviest, best armored and most powerful tank in the allied arsenal in WW2. It encountered only a couple of Pz.IV's, a panther, maybe even a Jagdpantger and a tiger I in the last couple weeks of the war.
Feel free to correct me if anything is wrong.
I love playing the Super Pershing. It's a fantastic tank. If only the reload was a couple of seconds quicker.
This tank is maniac even being uptiered, mostly you would face panther A, Tiger 2, Tiger and Jadgpanther which are penetratable. I kept bringing this tank in every match and most of time get around 5-7 kills per match making me alot of money in the process.
I always play this br and i swear ive been sniped by a guy called ivanhoe in a jagdpanther multiple times the past few months aha, always crazy shots across the map aswell thats why i remember him
More of the P-59 please 🤩
I have that camo. Super sick
Don't worry about daily videos, take your time and don't get burnt out
The two things you said were for recoil are actually for lifting the gun barrel. The internal mechanism was to weak. That is actually the best way to defeat the thing in reality.
Sounds so good, do you have a sound mod or something? I know they are removing them?
As an m18 user this tank looks like god to me
Watching you play yhe tank like it's nothing makes me jealous of your skill 😅
Great gameplay, love the Super Pershing. Do you have any vids of you playing the T25 or regular M26 Pershing? Those are also great vehicles.
he does man
I know what I'm grinding too now!
Oddbawz: you can brawl but be careful
Me: Roger
Also me: Brawls 2 panthers and 1 nashorn in sweden
couple of things: you can pen panther hulls' top armor with 50s, especially with ground belts, although trying on a coelian is.... ballsy. Also if you haven't already I'd suggest you give a try to the t44 122, it feels to me like a sidegrade to the super pershing as you get another nuke round, less armor, but more mobility as well as being smaller and a -5 gun depression on the gun, which is pretty much the best you'll ever get for Russian tanks anyway, that thing really is a monster
"that's a big chungus"
The super was a field modification of a regular pershing they took panther armor and strapped it to the front with the 90mm and a slightly different turret because they needed a counter weight in the back behind the radio and everything because of the gun
Since you just made a video with the super P how bout ya make a video with the tiger II P?
The add on armour is actually from destroyed panther tanks and they welded it on
Get better Oddz! Benny is still phat.
M56 Scorpion!!!
5:23 I had to sub for that.
This is a disgusting bad boi. Everytime I meet one with me Tiyga, I know that death is imminent. The only other tank where I just cant do anything is the T-44
the history of the Super Pershing is a bit complex
» it started with the idea of giving the Pershing a stronger gun, for that they took one of he earlier T26E1 prototypes and changed the gun
» soon they noticed it was not possible to keep the gun balanced without further modifications and that is why those 2 tubes (coil springs) were added to help balance the barrel
» a few other modifications were done like adding extra weight on the back of the turret, this final configuration received the designation T26E1-1
» learning from that experiment a new series of prototypes were produced and designated T26E4 (about 24 of them) with additional modifications made so that they could balance the gun properly without needing the external aids
» all is good and well but you now need to know if it will be effective in a actual war, that is when they decided to send the T26E1-1 to be field tested in Europe, and that is when it gets "strange"
» the T26E1-1 was then field modified by adding 2 boiler plates to the front of the hull and sections of Panther armor around the mantlet and turret (resulting on overloading the suspension and tilting the whole vehicle forward, thus reducing the angle of the armor plates) and someone painted on the side «Super Pershing» and that is why the vehicle became known as such due to its photo being generally well known, as for the US Army it was simply the prototype of the T26E4
the strange part is because after arriving in Europe the Pershings struggled to get good results when engaging German tanks, and contrary to popular belief the US Army fought more King Tigers and Panthers than Tiger I's, early defeats were probably result of lack of training
maybe it was from that experience that they decided to add the extra armour but then it makes no sense no other Pershing saw such modification
the most likely scenario was them learning how strong and effective the new gun was in combination with knowing the Pershing was not invulnerable, then they decided they needed to try anything possible to increase its survivability
The armor is a field mod to increase survival of the t26e4
Soon I will have this tank, just need to grind the sherman before it then I can dump all my convertible rp that I saved into it
