The PATTON Family / War Thunder

Medium tanks of the Patton series were the workhorses of the US military for many many years. The story of this tank family can be traced back to the end of WW2, when Americans started to use the M26 Pershing, which, thanks to its new 90mm gun and tough armor, was pretty effective when used against German Tigers and Panthers.

Me, pointing at my M26 : "hey you, be a patton"

[bigtony]

*I need your clothes, your boots, and that tank.*

[jackezzpanzer]

These Tanks in Austria was operated by a guy called “Arnold Schwarzenegger”

Me imagining:
Arnold: GET TO THE PATTON!

[unowenwashere]

Nobody:

Germans: *_SMOKE GRENADE LAUNCHERS_*

[bernardoschettini]

Fun fact: the m26 when launched, was considered a heavy tank due to the gun size and its armor

[lorddashdonalddappington]

US army: *makes a slight change to the Pershing* "Ok it's time to rename this thing the Patton."
Also the US army: *Makes a completely new tank* "I think I'll call it... Patton mk 3"

[jameslogan]

In my opinion the m47 looks like a bigger M41A1

[bravo]

Cromwell family? I'd love to see that!

[apuffofpink]

You guys need a Patton the back for this

[XEyedNb]

Sorry to hear you being sick Bruce, hope you get well soon

[dominicgorriceta]

Me: *Sees video of patton*




Also me: *STARTS REMEMBERING THE WAR ROBOTS VERSION OF PATTON*

The "new tank" during the Korean War didn't come through until later because commanders who were there wanted a new tank to replace the M4, but the commanders at home thought the M4 was sufficient enough(based on battles with other tanks/troops).

Also, Isreal knew that the M48 could be knocked out by shooting it right in the manlet. That's one way how they were able to beat Arab own M48 during the Arab-Isreali Wars.

The patron has heatfs that can pen more than 300mm of armor.

Yet it can still bounce that heat off a tiger 2 turret face, the hull of a is6, the tracks of a t-34 and can't set fuel tanks on fire

[quincy]

One of my favourite general and tank series, almost becoming a perfect tank series

[xvang]

I like how they don’t mention the stock grind of the Pattons

[GhostfPakistan]

Fun fact: Pattons were used in the battle of Mogadishu, where Pakistani M48s played a vital role in the extraction of US soldiers.
