Title: Model request "Super Pershing"
Post by: Andreas on March 05, 2012, 05:35:40 PM: Hello. IS it possible for anyone to make a model of the "Super Pershing". It will basically be pershing with a longer gun, and a few armor plates.

I would like it suggest something to another mod - but i cant model myself, and that mod doesn't have a modeller. SO i thougt someone here maybe would help?

Post by: Andreas on March 06, 2012, 06:30:44 AM: From wikipedia:

A single Super Pershing was shipped to Europe and given additional armor to the gun mantlet and front hull by the maintenance unit before being assigned to one of the tank crews of the Third Armored Division. An account of the combat actions of this tank appeared in the war memoir Another River, Another Town, by John P. Irwin, who was the tank gunner. Zaloga described three actions in his book. On 4 April, the Super Pershing engaged and destroyed a German tank, or something resembling a tank, at a range of 1,500 yd (1,400 m). On 12 April, the Super Pershing claimed a German tank of unknown type. On 21 April, the Super Pershing was involved in a short range tank duel with a German tank identified as a Tiger — the German tank bounced a shot off the Super Pershing's extra armor and then was knocked out by the Super Pershing with a shot to the belly. Irwin described the tank as a Tiger but Zaloga expressed skepticism that it was a Tiger. After the war, the single Super Pershing in Europe was last photographed in a vehicle dump in Kassel, Germany, and was most likely scrapped.

But i do not request it to be in the mod BTW. It could be nice, but i would just hear if anyone was capabable of making a model, based on the current pershing?

It would be a bigger gun, and some additional armor plates.
