i would prefer they add the pershing because we already seen the leaked alpha footage of it and the sherman jumbo was "not" a heavy tank per se but a medium tank with extra armor. make no mistake i would love to see the sherman jumbo in the game along with the chaffee and the hellcat
I would like to see it to, however you might also note that there are always units,models and skins left out for fear that they might become over powered, unfinished or become the result of just plain old laziness.
I can think of no other situations where a Pershing had the same effect on the battlefield as a tiger, is2, churchill ,Sherman Jumbo or kv series tank. They all were fielded in greater numbers and were ultimately most notable in battlefield engagements. The video of a pershing (in cologne I think) was the only engagement worthy of notice in my opinion.
The jagdpanther was more notable than the jagdtiger and the jagdtiger was just a massive scrap heap with a big gun and too many problems to even consider it's usage.
However this is a game, not real life...such a shame. The elephant/ferndinad was fielded in larger numbers and so was the jagdtiger and king tiger in comparison to the 36 or so Pershings that had actually be fielded. Also understand how many jagdtigers and king tigers were abandoned or destroyed by their own crews.
The Sherman Jumbo is much more worthy since it is medium tank with heavy-duty armor and the little extra upgrades that can be applied to it (as I had mentioned) would make it even more effective and lovable
. The USF is supposed to "Bend but not Break and be Mobile and Versatile" the Pershing might just make the USF another *-Spam heavies and win- kind of faction.
Again the Pershing might be an awesome addition but through world war 2 and in the game I found US soldiers had to make do with what they could get their hands on until their supply lines could catch up. They were constantly over-stretched...Note: Patton stalling near the German border and the western allies not opening up the channel ports as they should have.
