A M26 Perishing was a great tank used during World War 2 a tiger could kill it and a perishing could kill a tiger.I think it got it's name from what it does perish people from the Earth.
The M3 Lee (Grant), M4 Sherman, and the M26 Pershing (reclassified as a heavy tank, and then reclassified again as a medium tank).
First off, the M26 was not considered a "super heavy" tank, it was considered just a heavy until it was reclassified as a medium with the introduction of the M103 after the war. By the same token, the Germans and Italians did not actually field any super heavy tanks either- in fact, the Italians didn't really have any true heavy tanks, just medium and smaller.The M26 didn't really see action against Italian tanks- the M26 did not arrive until very late in the war, in spring of 1945. By that point, most of Fascist Italy had been defeated except for some pockets in northern Italy that were defended by German troops.Reportedly, the M26 fared pretty well against German heavy tanks like the Tiger, Tiger II and Jadgpanther. It also did very well against medium tanks like the Panzer IV and Panther.
US M4 & M26 Pershing & M46 Patton. The M46 was an upgraded M26. Both the M26 & M47 had 90mm main guns. The US also used the M24 Chaffee light tank. All but the M46 Patton were WWII left over tanks. The North Koreans used the Soviet T34 medium tank (also a left over from WWII).
The M26 is 9.9 mi (15.9 km).
On the ground it was basically WW2 weapons except for the tank. The severe limitations of the Sherman had been accepted and the M26 or Pershing and the M-46 or Patton with improved firepower and armorment had joined the US Forces and the British had created the Centurion or M-41 heavy tank. The air war produced the greatest change and the MiG was now pitted against the Sabre.

The T30 Heavy Tank was a tank used by the United States during World War II. They were made to compete with the types of tanks that the Germans were using.
The M26 Pershing tank had armor 102 mm thick on the front of the hull, and 76 mm thick on the sides of the hull. The turret was protected by 102 mm of armor (the same as the hull), while the mantlet (gun shield) for the 90 mm main gun was up to 114 mm thick. The M26 Pershing was one of the only Allied tanks during WWII with thick enough armor to take a direct hit from the German 8.8 cm anti-tank gun and survive.
