@@FabianDialer-vw1zk I just got my first bush after 2 months of playing. Yeah... You could get bushes from the bond shop but even then it's all up to RNG to pick the bush. I literally got the 2nd worst bush in the game :/
From several sources, the plate on the hull of the Super Pershing was boilerplate found at a factory near where they were preparing the tank for combat operations. The "ears" I think are as much to balance out the weight of the extra armor on the mantlet as for protection, since the gun was so heavy and unbalanced that those external springs were added to help elevate the gun.
The Super Pershing so far is my favorite tank in the game! I have about 200 hours in the game but I only recently started playing Tank RB. I actually started playing it cuz of Phly's first video on it from a year or so ago that I stumbled upon. I love going through a Panther's front plate after I bounce a round that they randomly shot at me because German players are so used to penning anything that comes at them without effort.
Reverse psychology works perfect on the super pershing. I added a big bright orange dot and 3 white arrows pointing at the lower right turret ammo rack shot. For some reason people feel triggered seeing it and missing it all the time.
There is a documentary on this, and it IS from a Panther, the counter weights were from the side armor and the front plate on the turret is from the frontal armor from a Panther, the hull plates were cut from boiler plates. This was all done in the field.
Correct, this additional armor was added after it was shipped to Germany. Incidentally, the hull armor and the mantlet were added in one phase, and some time later a "here hold my beer" moment occurred and the "ears" were put on the turret.
Yes, we captured a fabricating factory in Germany where the Germans were making boilers. All of the extra plating was laying around when we got there, and the mantlet piece came from a destroyed Panther near by. The boiler plating is 38mm thick. Belton Copper talks about it in his book “Death Traps” (take the information in it with a pinch of salt though).
@@biomike01 I don't believe that's accurate, as that weight is all going on the mantlet, which is supported by the springs, and a counterbalance was added to the back of the turret. More weight on the front of the turret won't help balance the gun, but I could be wrong, got a source on that?
Phly showing the armor didn't show the lower plate from panthers. It's SOOO easy to shoot through, and it gets driver, radio operator/machine gun operator, gunner and possibly loader. Ez claps.
This tank is amazing, I was suprised that yesterday I got shot by 2 tigers, 1 panthers, and 1 Pz IV and survived until my teammates kill all of them except for pz IV that finally got me.
Having finally spaded this thing yesterday after weeks of getting whooped, Im glad to see some good gameplay with it. Also, since Phly seems too humble to ask, you guys need to like and sub.
"Now" that you had a taste of the phrench 90mm armor piercing baguettes with the Bat Chat, why don't try out the heat croissants oph the AMX-13-90? Attempt #143
1:43 the side turret cheek armor is also from the panther the extra hull armor is not it's just some random steel that they decited to slap on, probably not really effective as armor at all but it would probably help quite a bit especially against heat if it happened to face it but not in war thunder
Phly because of you I literally just bought bushes to put on my big old 76er Sherman’s and my Pz. IV F2 and a Pz. III makes so much sense covering the weak spots on the front of the tank
i have lately played alot of german stuff and i absolutely fell in love with the bmp1 ( 9M113 ATGM the upgraded one) and then try and get to the G.91 R/3 with 4!!!! Nord missles, its so phun to groundstrike in that thing, feels a bit like the old tiny tims ya know the unnerfed ones (some people go absolutely nuts, so i might add longrange yeeeeeeets of course) Attempt #37
No one talks about this tank, but it dominates 6.3 especially in AB. It’s nearly impossible to penetrate from the front because of the troll turret, and it’s not that common so you don’t know where to hit it. It’s like a Tiger II H but harder to kill, and at a lower BR.
Not even close. Tiger IIH has literally one weakspot and that weakspot is highly unreliable for a lot of tanks at or below 6.3, not to mention the far better reload and better mobility. Super Pershing has a well armored turret, but the turret can also be easily penetrated in the gaps where the add-on armor doesn't cover the turret face. The hull's extra armor is modeled as structural steel and barely does anything to stop the majority of rounds fired at it, plus the hole in the armor where the MG port is. Super Pershing is not harder to kill than KTH nor is it "nearly impossible" to penetrate frontally. It is, for all intents and purposes, a worse tank than Tiger IIH.
Haven't played this tank in forever but it's probably still my favorite. Great killing potential, very survivable, and is the only non-premium tank I have that I actually bought a talisman for.
Phly the spaced armor on the front of the S Pershing was actually cut from a German boiler in a factory when the only operational S Pershing was in Germany in the closing stages of WW2. The armor on the mantlet is a cut out of a panthers upper plate.. and the side "ears" are sheet steel leftover from misc metal components from the boilers, AT gun sheilds, and knocked out willys jeeps. The additional plating was added because the officer in charge of that armor company did not want to lose such valuable tank and risk a court martial.
Super Pershing's front hull plates are actually plates from a boiler, so the hardness is just regular mild steel. (less armor than same thickness hardened steel)
Bushes add a couple seconds to that oh shit moment when someone runs into you and instantly forgets where your weak spots are, not 100% effective but close enough
The frontal plate was made of a steel boiler from a german factory and was just welded on. The turret had the panther armor, but it was from the side of a panther.
Surprisingly enough that armor that you thought wasn’t for. The panther, the crew of the only modified t26-E4 got there welding torches out and stole it off a panther that they had destroyed
the armor on the turret is from a panther the bottom armor is made of boiler plates, the reason for this is because it was makeshift armor that the crew made when ordered to do whatever they could to keep the prototype alive during action, the real super pursing killed a unidentified target and what the crew said was a tiger II from the front plate but was most likely a panther or a panzer IV.
One thing from me : no matter how good u put the mod on ur tank, if enemy got thermal sight on you, u are done. Remove the thermal sight and bush will work.
The mantlet was the only part of the Super Pershing that had a Panther armour on as designers found that to be the only real weak spot in the Pershing's armour.
Historically speaking the T26e1-1 was equipped with 88mm upper glacis panther armor welded to the gun mantlet, the angled front plates were 2 steel boiler plates giving it 38mm+38 mm+102mm of frontal armor and was equipped with the T15e1 Cannon that could pen 330mm of armor plating with the APCR round but also had the T50 APCBC shot with 140g of explosive D and 235mm pen as well as the T44HVAP (High Velocity Armor Piercing) Solid Shot (both not in game sadly) which could pen 373mm of armor. Only 1 T26e1-1 ever served in Europe where it had only 3 confirmed tank on tank engagements of which all 3 were victories for the Super Pershing with it destroying a Jagdpanther, a german tank of undetermined type, the third tank was either a Tiger or a Panzer IV (there is dispute as to which it was but most likely a Panzer IV). After the war ended the T26e1-1 was scrapped.
Hey phlydaily, To answer your question about the added armour plates. Only the extra armour plate on the front of the turret was cut from a Panther. The extra armour "ears" of the turret and the extra armoured front hull plates were cut from boiler plates that the people from the 3AD found.
I like how phly thinks that is a good battle ratting for a Pershing however he does not know how it feels to be in a tiger H1 and see a super Pershing chillin in front of u
The second plate on the upper glacis is supposed to be from the panther. The one historical super Pershing was modified using a new gun designed by the ordnance corps and the upper Glacis from a captured panther

It can bounce german panther 75mm quite well at long range. It might protect you from a badly shot 122 also. Not worth 13k per death though.

Hey phlydaily,
To answer your question about the added armour plates. Only the extra armour plate on the front of the turret was cut from a Panther. The extra armour "ears" of the turret and the extra armoured front hull plates were cut from boiler plates that the people from the 3AD found.
Phly's little edits at the beginning of each video are always god tier
the gon sound of the Pershing sounds like spitting but with more mettal and fire powa
If my memory serves me well, the add-on armor came from panther's front plate according to the book 'Death Traps' by Belton Cooper
@FBI Please, don't arrest me haha
The boiler plates make sense, thank you.
Already way ahead of you. It's got a phrase called "anything that can go through 40mm of armor."
I like how phly thinks that is a good battle ratting for a Pershing however he does not know how it feels to be in a tiger H1 and see a super Pershing chillin in front of u
Whoever edits your videos does an excellent job.
The reason why I played Warthunder is because of PhlyDaily. Sometimes I feel awful with my gameplay when I remember how Phyl plays. lol
The second plate on the upper glacis is supposed to be from the panther. The one historical super Pershing was modified using a new gun designed by the ordnance corps and the upper Glacis from a captured panther
That Hitler-Talk in the Panther is hilarious. 0:15
yo Phar Phunder, you need to add a new rule. "Team work is Meme Work" ie no reward for team work, so dont be a hero.
