M26 Pershing Series (Tarakian Variants)

The M26 Pershing Medium Tank, it was originally designated as a Heavy tank when it was designed due to it's 90mm M3 Gun and Armor, the Armor Ordinance Depot based out of Sasskeron made changes to the production design by deleting the ball gunner position and secondary driver/radio operator, making the Pershing the first tank in the D.R. Army and Marine Corps to have only 4 crewmen. The M26 entered service in 1945 and left service in 1952 after it was replaced by the M46 Patton medium tank, many of the M26's were converted to the M46 tank, with only the M26E4, M26E5 (improved Super Pershing with thicker armor, new power plant and transmission, along with M15E2 gun) and the M45 Close Support Tank remained in service until 1957.
