Fully upgraded T-54 VS Panther II Tiger VS M26 Pershing
ENDURANCE
Hit Points: 1650 VS 1800 VS 1750
Hull Armor: 120/80/45 VS 100/60/40 VS 102/76/51
Turret Armor: 200/160/45 VS 150/60/60 VS 114/76/76
In the choice between more HP or more armor, the Pershing loses. Personally I’d go with more armor, and the modern design and low profile of the T-54. The Panther II is a large target with weak sides, and I believe it is likely to lose the HP advantage with a lower-tier enemy vehicle’s shell or two.
MOBILITY
Weight 34.74 VS 48.9 VS 43.10 tons
Power: 680 VS 980 VS 790 horsepower
Power/weight ratio: 19.57 VS 20.04 VS 18.33 hp/t
Top speed: 56 VS 55 VS 48 km/h
Traverse speed 48 VS 30 VS 40 deg/sec
Once again the Pershing is outperformed. The Panther II might have a slightly better acceleration due to the power/weight ratio, but it’s going to lose much of that speed whenever cornering, given the low traverse speed.
T-54 is the obvious winner.
TARGET ACQUISITION
View range: 430 VS 460 VS 480 m
Signal range: 830 VS 810 VS 850 m
Finally the Pershing can claim a record, and the T-54 finds itself at a disadvantage… or is it? Can the T-54’s awesome mobility compensate for the shorter view range? We’ll see.
FIREPOWER
Tier: IX VS IX VS IX
Damage: 225-375 VS 293-488 VS 293-488
Penetration: 164-274 VS 165-275 VS 164-273 mm

Accuracy at 100m: 0.34 VS 0.3 VS 0.36
Aiming time: 2.5 VS 2 VS 2 seconds
Turret traverse: 51 VS 35 VS 45 deg/sec
No love for the Pershing yet once again, with the worst accuracy. The Panther II carries a very precise gun on a slow turret, with pretty much the same DPS as the T-54.
