Adding more heavy tanks to the US Tech Tree

Suggestions

I think they should add the T1E1 prototype and the M6A2E1 Heavy tank to the game. We have only two heavy tanks in the US Tech Tree, the M26 Pershing and the T26E1-1 Super Pershing.

The T1E1 prototype is a M6 heavy tank but with a 90mm gun and 37mm gun in the turret. Front Armor is 101mm, sides are 69mm, and rear is 44mm. 20 of these were made.

The M6A2E1 was a project to mount the turret from a prototype T29 onto a M6 hull. 105mm T531 was the main gun but no 37mm. The Front Armor is 140mm, sides are 60mm, and the rear is 41mm. The turret has the most armor, 229mm for the front, 89mm for the sides, and 208mm for the rear. The turret is pretty big and a very long gun. Only 2 were ever made

They are definitely heavy tanks, even if they are based on a medium tank model, they are so uparmoured that they can’t be considered anything else.
Though they are surprisingly light weight (38t) just for comparison the Panther is about 44t, but don’t be fooled, the design is merely lighter because the most crucial elements such as transmission and engine did not get stronger to handle the new weight which resulted in worse reliability than all big cats combined.

Oh I agree for all intensive purposes. That armor is great, Jumbo 76 is one of the most enjoyable tanks I have played with

I was just being precise by saying warthunder definition, because thats not up for dispute.

E.g you could argue that a Panther isnt a medium tank, But if I say in warthunder, theres no disputing

I’m rather satisfied with what is in the game right now. There is no need of this.

The M6 could fit in well, however the upgunned variants, idk if they have a strict need to be added. Saying that the M6A2E1 I think is a nice alternative to the super pershing at BR 5, since you have that bigger gun vs the better armour (in my opinion) of the super pershing.

Some British tanks should be added to the game, but for now, there is nothing lacking in American tanks, so this isn’t an urgent matter.

Any other nation during WW2 would have classified the Panther as a heavy tank, but Germany used them in the medium tank role and the tank’s armour layout is closer to that of medium tanks.

I’m curious to see if our landship can do any work in Enlisted. It sure is utter garbage in WT

“Heavy tanks” that can be front penned by anything Pz III and higher. 3 spots to front pen for Panther’s. UFP for long 88’s and better. They are utterly garbage for being used as heavy tanks. Half decent for infantry support tanks though. Least the 75mm. The 76mm fairs ever so slightly better against tanks as it has actual penetration

Still, the Jumbo suffers from the same symptom all American tanks suffer. 2+ easy front pen’s by any and everything it can fight
