There were many different paint schemes. Normally they had just a base coat of olive gray and that was it. But, some divisions had different ways. In 1945, many tank regiments painted black stripes all over their Pershings. During winter in the Korean War, a few regiments whitewashed their pershings. In the Korean War, many tanks were painted like tigers or other frightening animals to scare the Chinese soldiers who were very supersticious. These examples were painted like the coats of the animals who they were making their tanks look like and also had large faces with gaping mouths and big bloody teeth on the fronts.

What Tank was named after Patton?
The WWII M-26 Pershing medium tank was modified internally and re-named the M-46 Patton medium gun tank which was fielded in the Korean War. When looking at the two tanks side by side, it would be very difficult to tell the difference between the Pershing and the M-46 Patton tanks. The second Patton tank was the medium gunned M-47. It was never used in combat by US forces. Starred in alot of movies though; the M47 played German tiger tanks in the "Battle of the Bulge" starring Henry Fonda and Robert Shaw. The M-47 was primarily used for tank gunnery (target practice) in the US. The third and last Patton, was the M-48 medium gun tank. This was the main battle tank for US forces in South Vietnam during the war. ALL PATTONS were armed with 90mm main guns. With the exception of the up-gunned M48A5 which was an economical action...instead of building new M60's, they just upgunned the old 48's with 105mm tubes. The M-60 Combat Tank, Full Tracked; is not a Patton, and never was. It is the US Army's first MBT (Main Battle Tank) first fielded in 1960; and is armed with a 105mm main gun.

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).
What are the names of us war tanks?
US tanks in WW2 and since are named after American generals. The M4 Sherman was the most prevalent. The M3 Lee (also made in a British Army version called the Grant) and M3 Stuart preceded the Sherman. The M26 Pershing and M24 Chaffee were used only in the last days of the war. The M36 Jackson is often referred to as a tank, but it was US armored anti-tank artillery (tank destroyer). * The only exception is perhaps the M22 Locust airborne tank, never used in combat by the US, but the British 6th Airborne Division used them along with their own airborne tank called the Tetrarch. Both of these small tanks could be carried in a combat-ready state by the British Hamilcar glider.

What casualties did the Pershing tank cause?
During WWII, the M26 Pershing gave a good account of itself, being the only American tank that could reliably knock out the German Panther and Tiger tanks at most ranges. However, only about 200 were deployed to Europe and 12 to the Pacific before the war ended. Notable successes of the M26 in WWII included: - Two Tiger I tanks and one Panther tank destroyed at a range of 1,000 yards by 3rd Armored division Pershings (unknown date) - One Tiger I destroyed at 900 yards and two Panzer IVs destroyed at 1,200 yards on February 27, 1945 Battle of Cologne: - One Panther tank destroyed by a Pershing at close range (this was recorded on video and can be watched on YouTube) - Three Tiger Is and a Panzer IV destroyed outside the city Remagen: Pershing tanks lead the way in the capture of that city and in the securing of the Allies' first bridgehead over the Rhine there. Super Pershing: In order to further increase the Pershing's effectiveness, the US developed the prototype "Super-Pershing" model with thicker armor and a more powerful 90 mm gun, which saw combat in Europe. Super Pershing apparently knocked out a few German tanks, but is most famous for destroying a King Tiger (Tiger II) tank, as well as a Panther, in a duel outside Dessau, Germany in April 1945. The real contribution of the M26 was during the Korean War, where it faced the formidable Soviet made T-34-85 (as well as a small number of Josef Stalin II tanks). The T-34-85 was at a disadvantage against the Pershing, as it could not penetrate the Pershing's armor at all but the closest ranges, while the Pershing's gun could not only pierce the T-34's armor, but send a shell completely through the front of the tank and out the back end. - The US estimated its tanks destroyed 97 T-34s in Korea, and a further 18 'probable' kills in 119 tank vs tank battles. - Of this number, Pershings were involved in 32 percent of the battles, and its direct successor, the M46 Patton, was involved in another 10 percent.
Can a m26 pershing destroy a tiger tank?
The Pershing was capable of destroying a Tiger. The Tiger would also have been capable of destroying a Pershing, though. There was a report of a Pershing destroying a King Tiger, although the validity of this report tends to be questioned, as King Tigers were not believed to have been in that area. Shots by the Pershing can not penetrate the Tiger's front hull and turret armor at anything but point-blank range (well under 100m). The Pershing can penetrate the lower hull side armor and hull rear armor relatively easily at longer distances (up to 500m +). Conversely, the Tiger's 88m high-velocity gun can kill a Pershing from any side at distances well over 1000m.
