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.
