| rdfs:comment | - The Pershing was a heavy tank of the United States Army. It was designated a heavy tank when it was first designed in World War II due to its 90 mm gun, and its armor. The tank is named after General of the Armies John J. Pershing, who led the American Expeditionary Force in Europe in World War I. It was briefly used both in World War II and the Korean War. In the anime, it first appears in Girls und Panzer der Film.
- Intended as an improvement of the M4 Sherman, the prolonged time of development meant that only a small number saw combat in the European theater. Based on the criteria of firepower, mobility, and protection, R. P. Hunnicutt ranked the Pershing second, behind the German Panther medium tank, but ahead of the Tiger I heavy tank. In service during the Korean War, the M26 overmatched the T-34-85 in terms of firepower and protection, but was challenged by the hilly and muddy terrain, and as a result, were withdrawn in 1951 in favor of its improved derivative, the M46 Patton, which had a considerably more powerful and reliable engine as well as an advanced and improved suspension to better meet the demands of the specific terrain it operated in.
- The M26 Pershing is a medium tank that was initially labeled as a heavy tank when it was first made in 1945 due to the size of it's gun. It appears in Endless War Defence, Endless War 5, and Endless War 6. It is armed with a 90 MM cannon and has 102 MM of frontal armor.
- thumb|200pxthumb|200px De Heavy Tank M26 Pershing was een zware Amerikaanse tank. De M26 Pershing werd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog en de Koreaanse Oorlog gebruikt. De tank is genoemd naar generaal John Pershing die de Amerikaanse strijdkrachten gedurende de Eerste Wereldoorlog leidde.
- The M26 Pershing is a heavy tank fielded by the American Armor Company in Company of Heroes. Roughly equal in strength to an Axis Tiger, this is the strongest armor unit available to the Americans. Only one M26 Pershing can exist on the battlefield at any given time (Old versions used to be able to have 2 out at once!). When present, this tank becomes the focal point of American assault operations, able to sustain plenty of firepower and destroy enemy tanks easily with its large cannon. When properly escorted by infantry or other tanks, it is difficult to stop an M26 Pershing. It will also ignore almost any obstacle, including Tank Traps.

It should be noted that Pershing wasn't fielded until January 1945, where it was rushed into the Battle of the Bulge to fight off Axis Tigers and Panthers. Therefore, in real life, it would have never been a part of the July 1944-based American singleplayer campaign.
