The T32 heavy tank was a heavy tank project started by the United States Army to create an appropriate successor to the M4A3E2 Sherman "Jumbo".The US Ordnance board managed the production of four prototypes, the main goal being to have the new tank share many common parts with the M26 Pershing.
The M26 had the same engine as the M4A3, but weighed about 50% more. Korea is very hilly so this mobility problem was nontrivial. Meanwhile the M4A3's 76mm gun, firing HVAP (which was plentiful, unlike during WW2) could easily deal with NKPA T-34-85s. In general the M26 was a very good design that needed a better engine.
The M26 Pershing heavy tank had heavier armor, a more powerful gun, and improved torsion bar suspension compared to the Sherman. The main armament of the M26 Pershing was its 90 mm gun. Secondary .30-06 machine guns were mounted co-axially in the turret and in the bow. [b] A .50 BMG heavy machine gun was mounted on top of the turret.

The Pershing heavy tank (named after General Pershing) was the only heavy tank used in combat by the US armed forces during World War II. An earlier design, the Heavy Tank M6, was not accepted for large scale production and only 40 were produced.
