Guide on the American medium tank M26 Pershing

The game World of Tanks is not for everyone was simple and straightforward. Some players, experienced in other projects, face difficulties. There are many reasons for this, so it's difficult to single out one. One way or another, but the most common mistakes occur with an understanding of the mechanics of tanks. Each machine has its own purpose in the game, depending on the situation, it should be used and not otherwise.

Therefore, tankmen often look for different guides to understand the principle of playing on this or that "transport". So, interesting gameplay is represented by the M26 Pershing model. But first you need to learn about the historical facts associated with this tank.

In history

It is not difficult to guess that the car received such a name in honor of one of the generals of the American army, John Pershing. For the first time it became known to the world in 1944. The very next year entered the Second World War. Since 1950, she participated in the Korean War.

During the fighting the technician showed good results, but it can not be said that it has become legendary. Tank M26 Pershing in 1951 it was decided to replace the more universal machines that would easily cope in the mountainous terrain. So the world became known popular now from the game World of Tanks "Patton" and "Sherman".

In Game

If you decide to pump American tanks, then sooner or later you will reach level eight. There's something M26 Pershing meets. Hyde on it should start with a basic description of TTX. This is an average tank that has good armament, good dynamics and, in principle, is a worthy competitor on the battlefield. From a real prototype, he adopted some of the indicators of booking and appearance in general.

The cost of the tank in the game is more than 2 million silver. The health of the car 1350 in the drain, but after pumping - 2430 hp, which is excellent for the CT. The review and communication range after the improvement also become more: the survey from 390 meters to 400 meters, and communication from 396 meters to 745 meters.

To battle

Going into battle, you should thoroughly study all the advantages and disadvantages of the tank. Understand whether it is possible to go to the forefront and fight forehead in the forehead with strings. Find out this will help us the value of booking the hull. M26 Pershing, whose photo resembles a real prototype CT, has a weak armor: 101 mm in the forehead, 76 mm in the side, and 50 mm in the stern.

The tower near the tank is also not very strong: 101 mm in the forehead, and 76 mm in the fore and aft. Due to the fact that the tank is tall, it is easy to shoot and, in principle, fall. Therefore, going forward is not the best option. It is advisable to skip ahead more armored vehicles and fight for their corps.

Maneuverability

The next important characteristic is the mobility of the tank. It also determines the choice of tactics. Given that this is a CT, the maneuverability indicators are acceptable. The engine in the drain has a capacity of 560 horsepower, at the maximum level of pumping, you can install the engine at 704 liters. from. Also, its performance changes the agility from 36 degrees to 38 degrees per second. The maximum speed remains unchanged at 48/20 kilometers per hour.

Cannon

The main difference between a gaming machine and a real prototype is its combat ability, in particular, an implement. WOT M26 Pershing developers made a "mythical" gun that did not exist in history on any tank. This is not surprising, given the fact that at one time the American ST was bad at coping with German tanks, and therefore, if it came with real characteristics in the game, it would not be able to resist anyone at all.

Depending on the tower, the choice of guns for this model is wide. In the sink the player is presented with a cannon, which has a very weak penetration at level 8 - 128/177/38 mm. The damage is 115/115/185. The rate of fire of such a weapon is 14 shots per minute. The spread is 0.43 meters per 100 m, and the mixing is 2.3 seconds. There are 92 shells in the ammunition.

After the tank is pumped, the situation changes, and accordingly the gameplay M26 Pershing can change. The characteristics of the top cannon allow for a more aggressive battle and, in principle, achieve a good damage by the end of the battle. Thus, the penetration increases to 190/268/45 mm, the damage is equal to 240/240/320. Rate of fire is less than half - 7 rounds per minute. The scatter is also reduced to 0.37 m / 100 m. The ammunition consists of 70 shells. The mix remains unchanged.

As a result, the potential damage per minute increases to 1757 hp. By the way, the angles of vertical aiming at this tool are quite good -10 ... + 20 degrees. Thanks to them you can try to fight from the hills, although again you should take into account the height of the hull.

Sequence of pumping

To get the M26 Pershing, you need to pump out the seventh medium tank T20 and accumulate 98,000 experience. After the acquisition of Pershing, further purchase is individual, but there are still some recommendations. So, for starters, it's best to open the engine. If the penetration and damage are more or less tolerant, the dynamics in the runoff are terrible. Therefore, every experienced tankman advises to start the engine first.

Next, you have to choose between the gun and the turret. There is already each his own, the good that stock caterpillars allow you to install both. It is better, of course, to give preference to the tower first, in order to add strength and review to it.

Then you can think about improving the running gear. Thanks to it, it will be possible to perfect the car as much as possible. After that, you can pump out what's left after selecting a pair of gun and turret. And in the end we are already opening a walkie-talkie, which, by the way, may already be bought, if the M7 is completely pumped.

Pros and cons

Before launching into battle, it is necessary to note the shortcomings and virtues of the M26 Pershing. Reserving the tank has a mean. Due to the shape of the hull, although it can catch ricochets, it is often the case. The total damage per minute is excellent, so you need to use this. On the move, the tank shoots quite accurately. This is connected with a good penetration, and with an accurate tool and a small spread.

Not bad at M26 Pershing review. If it is improved with the help of optics, then it can become the best in the game. The main disadvantage of this machine is considered to be rather large dimensions for both CT and vulnerable internal modules.

Behavior in battle

So, we finally got to the very battle. It can not be said that this tank presents some surprises in the choice of tactics. Everything again will depend on the style of the tanker's game, on his habits. But the CT is quite a universal machine, so it often acts as a support. As mentioned earlier, hiding behind heavy tanks, this model must fire and cause damage. By the way, if for "Pershing" to charge "gold", then it is possible to break through TT of the tenth level.

Of course, such a variant of the game is not the only one. You can not become attached to the "senior" allies. Of course, random is unpredictable, so you can not wait for this model to get along with your twins. Moreover, sometimes in a battle this tank is headed by a CT, and after it "classmates" start up, but at a younger level.

Anyway, even such a crowd can take one of the flanks, squeeze it and try to fight with one-tier machines. This situation is quite variable. For example, if among the enemies a high-level tank was wormed up, it would be necessary to charge the sub-caliber and try to disassemble it from the shelter. If the "junior" ST arrived on the flank, then it's easy to understand them and battling your forehead in the forehead.

As it was mentioned earlier, the main advantage of the tank is its combat ability, which, together with a strong mask of the gun, allows you to continuously attack the enemies, hiding behind the hills and pulling out all the shells.

Obstacles

Of course, as with any other technique, the M26 Pershing does not always go smoothly. So, one can find shortcomings with an excellent tool. Although it is quite good, but in other nations there are CTs that outperform this indicator. Dynamics also do not always show a good result. Even among American STs there are cars that are more maneuverable.

As already mentioned before, large dimensions can interfere with effective game play. In open terrain, the probability of finding a tank increases. And considering the weak armor, you can get from enemies from all sides.

The universality of Pershing is both its dignity and its disadvantage. Due to the fact that he has average indicators for all TTX positions, it is difficult for him to occupy his position, and therefore it is necessary to adjust constantly to the situation. That is, there is no specific tactic for this machine, which is why it loses to many "classmates".

Crew

To make the tank as useful as possible, you need to decide on the tactics, and then after installing the modules and pumping the crew. Of course, there is no universal choice for all these processes, but some tips should be taken into account.

Depending on the tactics, which you prefer, you need to pump the crew. If you decide to be a stormtrooper, then first of all we study "Lampochka" and "Repair". Second perkom for the commander choose "Repair", and for the rest of the crew the option that you prefer. Here you can give preference to "Master of all trades", "Cleanliness and order", etc. Third perkom choose "Battle Brotherhood".

If you decide to be a universal tank, then you need to maximize all the advantages of this machine. The first perk all the same choose "Light Bulb" and "Repair". But the second pump "Eagle Eye" and "Radio Interception", for shooting choose "Smooth Move" and "Smooth Turn of the Tower."

You can give preference to sniper tactics, in which "Repair" and "Combat Brotherhood" will no longer be a priority. In this case, it will be necessary to improve the review, scatter and rate of fire, as well as not forget about disguise.

Equipment

M26 Pershing reviews got mixed. Everything again decides the style and habit of tankmen. Someone got used to more dynamic machines, someone, on the contrary, to a technique with excellent firepower. This option is medium and rather complicated.

As in the case of the crew, the choice of equipment depends on the tactics. If you like storming, then you need to put enlightened optics, a stabilizer of vertical guidance and a sender. The last two modules are great for any tactic. But instead of enlightened optics to the station wagon, you can choose improved ventilation, and the sniper to put a camouflage net.

Thus, you will enhance the good quality of the CT. The sender and stabilizer VN will help with the DPM indices. Enlightened optics - to increase an already good overview, improved ventilation will add to current performance of + 5%. With the help of camouflage net or stereotube, it is easy to fight from an ambush.

The distribution of ammunition is an individual process. Everything will depend on how many credits you have and "gold". Some prefer to fully charge the sub-caliber, so that there will be no problems with the penetration, especially with tanks at level 1-2 above. More economical tankmen, of course, prefer armor-piercing shells. The smaller part is determined for "gold" and the pair is left for high-explosive fragmentation.

Since M26 Pershing suffers from damage to internal equipment, it is better to add the standard repair kit, first-aid kit and fire extinguisher to the equipment. Most often, this option is recommended, since it will save this tank from burning at the beginning of the battle or from problems with the "health" of the crew.
