The T26E4 is a specialized version of the American Pershing tank, designed in response to the appearance of German King Tigers at the end of World War II. It was equipped with a powerful 90mm M3 gun with a lengthened barrel and a new stabilization system. The T26E4 variant was tested in combat operations in Europe in 1945 and earned the nickname "Super Pershing." Although only a few units were built, the T26E4 became a symbol of a new approach to armored combat at the war’s conclusion.
