Pershing, who led the American Expeditionary Force in Europe during World War I. It saw action in the final months of World War II during the Invasion of Germany and extensively during the Korean War. Designed as a replacement for the M4 Sherman, a prolonged development period meant that only a small number of M26s entered combat in Europe, notably with the 9th Armored Division's daring dash to capture the Ludendorff Bridge during the Battle of Remagen. Based on firepower, mobility, and protection, American historian R.P. Hunnicutt ranked the Pershing behind the German Panther medium tank but ahead of the Tiger I heavy tank. In service during the Korean War, the M26 outgunned and outprotected the T-34-85, but struggled in the hilly and muddy terrain. It was withdrawn from service in 1951 in favor of its improved derivative, the M46 Patton, which boasted a more powerful engine and advanced suspension better suited for challenging terrain. The lineage of the M26 continued with the M47 Patton and influenced the design of later models like the M48 Patton and M60 Patton.
