Introducing the T26E3 Eagle 7

Billed as "Europe's biggest trade fair for interactive games and entertainment," Gamescom opens on Aug. 22, and we've got somethng special to celebrate! So today we're excited to introduce a new vehicle to World of Tanks: the T26E3 Tier VII medium tank — also known as the Eagle 7!

As a member of the Pershing family, the T26E3 is a real "king of the hill:" use its terrific gun handling and great depression to peek over the terrain for a few shots. You can always use its thick mantlet to withstand a few shells, and rely on the precision of your 90 mm cannon in case of a counter-attack. Here's a detailed look:

Other History-Making Tanks

Expand

World of Tanks goes to great lengths to ensure in-game vehicles, whether mass-produced or in blueprint form, are as historically accurate as possible. Here are four specific tanks that made history and have been reproduced in-game down to their actual markings and other aesthetic identifiers. The T26E3 Eagle 7 joins the ever-expanding circle of these special Premium vehicles!

	Loza's M4-A2 Sherman VI Loza's M4-A2 Sherman A Sherman tank provided by U.S. forces under Lend Lease to the Soviet army. The moniker comes from the vehicle’s commander, Fedorovich Loza, and it bears the number "936" as used in combat. Loza is the in-game Tank's commander, and he comes with a filly developed Sixth Sense Perk.
	M4A3E8 Thunderbolt VII VI M4A3E8 Thunderbolt VII The Thunderbolt packs a 76mm cannon and more armor than the M4A3E8 Sherman sister model, and historically, it was under the command of Lieutenant Creighton Abrams in World War II. The tank has the field-placed extra armor panels, and "Thunderbolt VII" insignia printed on the sides.
	Sherman VC Firefly VI Sherman VC Firefly British gunner Joe Ekins' Sherman VC Firefly took out Michael Wittmann's Tiger No. 007 (in addition to two other tanks) at Normandy on August 8, 1944. Wittmann was one of the most feared German tank commanders, as he is credited with destroying more than 100 enemy tanks. In keeping with this history, the Sherman VC Firefly has "12" on the turret, which was the number of the tank that scored that scored the fatal hit to Wittmann's Tiger.
	Tiger 131 VI Tiger 131 This particular Tiger tank, captured by Allied forces in Tunisia in 1943, is on display today at The Tank Museum in England. The fully restored number “131” tank is the only Tiger in the world that runs on its own engine.
