The T26E5 is one of the most fun heavy tanks in the US tech tree. It's very similar to the M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo, which is pretty infamous in the War Thunder community.

Fun fact, if you look in the armour protection you can see that the lower front plate is not modeled correctly, visually it is correct, but the actual armour is approximately 20° more angled. This has been in the game ever since the T26E5 was introduced, Gaijin has never fixed it, the T26E5 has been in the game since 2021. This tank is a perfect example that Gaijin will not fix something unless they are pressured to by the community and money depends on it.

The armor model for the jumbo Pershing’s Lfp was corrected with the proper angle in a later update after it’s introduction but the 3d model still hasn’t been touched after all theses years

@mono9702 10 ай бұрын

Though I also believe the Lfp armor model is also incorrect to a certain extent. The actual model itself is just copied from the regular Pershing just given different values. In photos of the two tanks you can see the Lfp on the jumbo Pershing being slightly different

As someone who started with America then did a bit of a German side tree, (to play with my German main friends) and with that, my first encounter with this thing was literally the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. Every shot bounced, and the one that went through just killed his machine gunner. I shot again and again, and every shot bounced right off. After 10 or so shots he made it all the way to my position, and stared at me as my last round bounced off his front plate, before he claimed my life. It was a great duel, and I wonder to this day if it was Spookston, because they were named Player. If it was Spookston your terrifying in that thing, and if not your still terrifying in that thing, but whoever that was needs to 1v1 you, because that would be the duel of a century. Also, Spookston, I LOVE your content and I learned a ton from it, using your videos and playstyle to help me along with my light vehicles, and generally become a better player. Keep up the Amazing content!

Never expected a T26e5 video but its a very welcome addition, one of my favorite tanks at 6.7, sadly it faces uptiers quite often against cold war tanks which makes it painful to play.

The T26e5 was my first 6.0+ tank I got and still is, but great video i was not expecting this and now I'm motivated to play the tank again. That Edit at 12:06 was gold though. I feel like Spookston is evolving from his cas-ptsd and is now gaining the power to survive bombs.

@FEAR_Actual 10 ай бұрын

SO glad you chose to do this one, honestly aside from the lack of pen and somewhat lower velocity compared to the T26E1-1's gun right after it, it's still an extremely potent and well armored tank for 6.7 Right after I unlocked it I loved using it due to how easy it was to actually tank enemy rounds and still dish out some punishment, and despite being a heavy it still moved out of it's own way decently well. It's truly one of my favorite tanks in american 6.7 despite the M3's lackluster APHE penetration, and the APCR's random ass janky inconsistency.

@hawkstable8889 10 ай бұрын

I think you should try the Jagdtiger, it is slow, its armor doesn't matter at all at its tier, but at least the 12,8cm round's angle pen means you an one-shot T-44 / 54s at high angles through the side.

APCR dispersion is actually one of the more realistic things in War Thunder. They were known for losing accuracy and effectiveness rapidly with range. Something to do with being a light projectile but still the full size of the bore. APDS overcame the effectiveness drop off issue by using the sabot and a sub calibre projectile. But introduced its own problems with stabilisation. Which were eventually overcome.
