Some suggestions on how to implement it.
I know sql code is a pain, but how difficult would it be to upgrade all existing Pershings to superpershings allowing you to keep vet?
One of the pershing's most serious flaws is its range is.. pathetic. it is outranged by virtually everything and no vet level bonuses the range.
Could the superpershing gain an additional +5 range?
One a side note:
could somebody give a link to the ranges of all EiR tanks?

I was going to make it a weapon upgrade that would effect current pershings. Remove their weapon and add a new one.. |

Ok well that fixes that. So can we discuss this +5 range thing now? ...  don't forget the new skin, ask mal to make it orange or something epic.  Maybe even like a striped barrel. |

Orange? Oh god that reminds me of the failure of the Panzergrenadiers with orange camo pants. Worst skinpack ever  |

Maybe even like a striped barrel. funny, thats the same thing we get some axis playres about tigers. Only dedicated tank destroyers out range the heavies, even then its not by much, panther is 47.5 and m10 m18 45. Leave the range alone. The only reason you'd need the extra range is if you're one of those people who like to solo your pershing with no other at around, it shouldn't be used like that. |

i dont agree with it as i dont agree with tiger range buffs.
pershing is pretty awesome as it is right now:
goood speed
goood armor
goood cannon
good range
no tank can be perfect.

+5 range alone would make the pershing a super pershing. Right now the HVAP rounds will make it awesome, i hear its gonna reliably penetrate a tiger and even do some damage to KTs and Jagds with those rounds.

Umm, tiger gets +5 range from improved barrels as a T2, and oh wait it effects more then just the tiger! I think +5 range included in the super pershing is completely balanced.

See that was part of my reasoning. Blitzkrieg simply means: "Don't use Armour vs me." Huge superman sign on the top would be epic.

It's an unimplemented Armor Company T4.
It currently is set to give the Pershing +30% Damage, +30% Penetration, and a new skin.

yea, the perching does not need a range buff. Its an amazing tank, and with the T4 unlock double perchings should be a fairly deadly combo. It'll be like in the good old days of vcoh, taking out all axis tanks with your 2 vet 3 perchings. Hitting AWM at the last second only to get both of them back and ready to kick more but.
Most players just can't micro it properly, when I was armor I would usually get back double the cost of my perchign each time i fielded it. This means bringing it out at the right time just as much as it means knowing how to micro it.
