With the arrival of German Panther II and Tiger II (aka king tiger), the Soviet IS and IS2, on the very end of the war, the US army requested a tank able to compete and overcame these tanks. So from the M6 experience, they started a better heavy tank. The T29. Althought it didn't reached in time for the war, the engineers had put the best of what was seen in the war on it.

very nice!
on russian tanks i saw bigger hull units, so i let some units "gun" to overlap to right meaning bigger images than 64 px, example:

so if this unit would be bigger if u had more pixels you can use the same thing.
currently the size is like the sherman but this shoulfd bebigger imho.

I see, there is still some free space so i guess i can increase it a bit, but i don't like too much the idea of overlaping, like i think all soviet tank imgs are not scaled correctly, they are too much exagerated compared to bigger vehicles of other nations, one perfect example is that T40, Jagdtiger and Maus are big enough to deserve a small overlap, and still, they don't borrow more than 10 extra pixels or 64x74, that IS2 is about 105px wide, it should be on the size of the current T-34, and T-34 be on the size of the other nations counterparts, like the sherman, maybe just 1px longer...

Right, now they are on the perfect size.
Not so much bigger than m6 and still not as big as maus. And much less bigger than soviet vehicles.

Sorry i misstyped there, it is E1A4
From basic version to E1, it don't have major improvements that i could consider revelant on in-game stats, it does have the 105mm T5E2 gun that is barelly same thing than T5E1, but slighter easier to reload with 2 loaders... It does own several internal improvements as a new version of the GAC engine (E2 and E3 had another engine, but idk if it is enough for an extra point on speed), newer radio plataforms... The most notable diference is that it does features optical rangefinders (those ears on the sides of the turret) to enable more accuracy on long range shoots. And that's all...
