Keep in mind that the pershing also has the very strong combined arms ability, which gives the tank EXTRA range essentially giving it 60 range and 60 sight range, and its special ability is not an AP shell, but a piercing shot that pierces buildings. Like ISU-152 piercing shot.

Jacksons with more than 60 + range + self sight , ouch. The commander is going to have alot of lategame power.


Overall i can't believe some people think the pershing will be bad. The pershing is suprisingly perfectly balanced and its stats are just right. They fit in the american design of fragile, mobile and hard hitting very well.

3 Weapon slots but you get 4 thompsons? How does that work?

Also I'm pretty sure you mean reload decreased not increased in combined arms?

Where exactly did you get this "very poor" mobility from?


Just because wikipedia states that the pershing had a very slow off-road speed doesn't mean it's true.

The reason why wikipedia gives just a poor off road mobility is because not all off road terrain is equal.


If you look at this video this gives a much clearer picture of how tanks actually performed off-road in ww2. (It's not very fast)

the slot will allow them to pick one additonal bazooka, or bar, or flamer etc after you get the thompson upgrade.

and yes decrease.

But does that also mean if you don't get the thompsons, you can choose to give them 3 bars or bazookas?

Bad? Not really.
Overpriced in relation to comet and panther?
Without a question, unless it have almost non existent scatter values and Tiger like AoE.

Does anyone know how much radius 30 is ingame? Seems kind of big but not too big.

Every faction has their own economy. Ost spends a lot of fuel teching, OKW gets less income. In this case, nothing stopping from Americans for skipping the major and just pumping out Pershings.

4x thompson and 1x BAR for ultimate death squad

Jump back to quoted post22 Oct 2015, 21:03 PMCookiezNcreem

the 5th guy can take a weapon rack or dropped weapon instead of a carbine

so your choices are
5 carbines(base)

1x carbine 4x thompson
1 slot weapon and 4 thompsons

2+ slot weapons and no thompson

is what im comprehending here

But he specifically said 3 slots.

Your explanation only describes 2 slots with thompsons taking up one,.

If you so either the Thompsons override the slots, leaving only one place for an upgrade, or they somehow take up 2 slots leaving one left.

Either way, they have 3 slots and thus can hold 3 bars or zooks.
