Clash of Steel - M26 Pershing Tank Platoon

This miniature is part of the AMERICAN FORCES range. It contains high-quality plastic model tanks at a 1:100 scale, to represent units in Clash of Steel. 

Perishing Platoon (Core Unit)
Contains: 3x T26E4 Super Pershing, or T26E5 Assault Pershing, or M26 Pershing Tanks

Description:
The Pershing’s 90mm gun was powerful, but lacked the ability to knock out the heavier German tanks, so an experimental long 90mm gun was designed. Two examples of these long guns were mounted in specially-modified Pershings. This was further modified in the field by adding additional armour plates cut from destroyed German Panthers. The result was America’s first superheavy tank of the war.

The Super Pershing engaged the enemy, easily destroying German tanks that it encountered. The war ended before more Super Pershings could be built, but the design was considered successful enough to further develop the M26 Pershing series into a main battle tank.
