![]() ![]() ![]() The 704 horsepower engine provides the T26E5 with an excellent specific power of 15.17, allowing it to accelerate better than many other tier 8 heavies. This also means it can whittle down heavy tanks with slower reload-times, though trading fire with other heavies is still a risky proposition because of your inferior alpha damage. The short reload-time allows this tank to comfortably trade fire with most mediums of the same tier. While the accuracy is largely improved over the T32, it is still far from that of German and British heavies, so allow the to gun aim fully for the best chance of hitting enemy weak spots. Do note, however, that it fires APCR as both standard and premium ammunition types, so be aware of its unique properties compared to AP rounds. ![]() The 230mm of penetration allows the T26E5 to retain some fighting potential even in tier 9 and 10 games. The machinegun port and large lower front plate of the T26E5 are glaring weaknesses that make it vulnerable to even tier 6 guns, regardless of angle. The hull armor is thicker than on the T32 and T34, but ultimately weaker than the T32's because of flatter angles. Turret armor on the T26E5 is thinner than on the T34 and T32, but is still strong enough to bounce many lower and same tier guns, and its small profile will frustrate attackers trying to dig it out of a defensive position from a distance. The T26E5 is basically an up-armored M26 Pershing labeled as a heavy tank. High ground resistance, sluggish mobility.Hull armor is rather weak for a heavy tank.Limited penetration boost from premium ammunition.Small gun caliber, poor alpha damage and DPM. ![]()
