How thick was the pershing tanks armor?

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.

What was the name of the American tank in World War 2?

Technically speaking, there were actually many tanks that have participated in WW II. For example, there was a super heavy tank called the T28 equipped with the 120 mm gun, built to counter other super heavy tanks such as the German tank Maus. Another USA tank was the T29. The T29 also had "brothers and sisters". The T29 is a prototype heavy tank designed with the 105 mm. It was made along with 2 other prototypes called the T30 and the T34. The last tank made was the T32. The T32 was the real deal. There is also another USA tank called the M10 Wolverine. There are many many more USA tanks but I'm not sure when they were made.
