I don't get why people want this so badly. There's plenty of heavy tanks in the game... use those.
I guess because people wanna have fun and don't really care about design choices and balance.
Can you blame them?

Exactly. It is a big tank with a big gun. What's not to like?
Whether it belongs in the game is another matter entirely.

I demand something to put my exclusive pre-order skin on.
Sherman Jumbo if it ever gets added.

A sherman calliope and a Pershing in one commander...... PPL must Pay!
If USF gets calliope then OKW or OST gets Hummel or Jagdpanther! Or better yet, 3rd German faction with those units! Hummel, Jagdpanther, Nashorn, Hetzer, Panzer III etc

So how about USF? Sherman Bulldozer, E8. That's it. And yet those are a way behind other I mentioned. So... Non doctrinal arty? Nope, some damage-sponge? Nope, so why you don't want M26? I guess most "No" voters are Axis players who don't want to face M26+M36 combo while they are using the same thing like Jadgtiger/King Tiger + Jadgpanzer, Tiger+Panther, Elephant+Panther or PzIV.
Even Soviets can use such powerful combinations. USF don't have any good, anti-blob arty or something heavy so Pershing is something USF should get at least.

You are the true MVP - New german faction vs Brits.
On-topic: A doctrinal, balanced heavy tank for the USF isn't a big problem. It's not an excuse that it doesn't fit into the faction design; then tell me how Osttruppens fit in the German Commnader Pool?

If they'll be balanced they would be seen again, when the commander came out it was very powerfull, but having spammable, cons like units for the germans doesn't fit into their design if we follow the USF doesn't need a heavy tank 'cuz of design.

I would rather see the M24 Chaffe (75mm gun on a highly mobile light tank) and/or M18 Hellcat (76mm gun and 92kph top speed)
Both had torsion bar suspension so their strength could be accuracy on the move like the EZ8 at the price of thin armour.

I personally like the design choice of no heavies for U.S. Forces. I think players still don't realize how amazing the M8 Scott is for late game. You can bleed the hell out of Axis infantry with them from long range and minimal micro and they get "oh shit!" smoke at vet 1.

Exactly. USF have an great early and mid game, who wouldn't go for the Pershing doctrine every time? If they introduce the Pershing this faction needs some major changes.

I´m sure some people would still choose rifle company commander too.

Relic would find a way to balance the M26 Pershing if it was available.
Hope they will throw the M22 Locust at some point.
First one was not used during the period USF army is in game.
2nd one was never used, it was only a prototype. Makes as much sense as adding MAUS.
