T32

[ZakTheBuilder1]

HISTORY/DEVELOPMENT
Despite its promising performance during the final stages of World War II, the M26 Pershing was thought to be too lightly armored to do battle with most German heavy tanks and tank destroyers, such as the Tiger II. Even though its gun was able to penetrate armor satisfactorily, its own armor was believed to be insufficient at stopping enemy shells. Work began in early 1945 to develop a significantly heavier variant of the M26 Pershing. Using data collected from the T29 Heavy Tank project and incorporating an experimental 90mm main gun firing armor-piercing, composite rigid ammunition as well as a more advanced transmission, the first T32 tank was produced. The T15E2 gun mounted on this tank was much more powerful than the gun mounted on the Pershing, and similar to the T26E4 Super Pershing which utilized a similar experimental 90mm, the counterweight at the back of the turret was enlarged substantially to offset the long gun's weight. The T32E1 variant eliminated weak spots in the frontal armor, including removing the hull mounted machine gun. As a result of all the changes, the M26 chassis had to be expanded, with an extra road wheel added on each side, bringing the total to seven, to reduce the ground pressure due to the tank's increased weight. After the end of World War II, the project was cancelled and the vehicles were scrapped.[1][2]

NOTE
when I used to play world of tanks I saw this vehicle alot on the enemy side and it always made me want to steer away from it even though I was across the map.
It has a fear factor
Its like if the pershing and a T-29 had a devilish baby.

I believe that the "T29 Upgraded" should be renamed to "T34". It makes more sense and it looks nicer. And since the T34 is my favourite american tank i would really like to see its name properly represented.

[ZakTheBuilder1]

Yea
But this is about a new tank that was more like a MBT than a heavy tank and would set the stage for the mbts in the future.
But yes instead of T29 upgraded it should be T34 or the T30 I believe that's what its called.

The T34 was more of a heavy assault tank
The T30 had a way better gun than the T34 and better electronics, but idk
I might go in and fix that and see if they want to add it.

[Enzoci]

I'd say that the T30 was more of a tank destroyer.

[ZakTheBuilder1]

yes because of the later gun and new equipment
im working on the T30 as this is being posted
which would be a upgrade the T30 or T34
In my opinion the T30 should be its own unit while the T29 has a third upgrade which will be the T34.
