?|When hopping out of the [[T25 AT]] and into the T28, the biggest difference is that the T28 is quite slow. This tank has better speed values than the [[T95]], but not by much so both tanks are an easy target for artillery. The Frontal armor is very good for its tier unlike it's turreted brother the [[T28 Prototype]] which gives up 51mm of armor to mount a turret. The 120mm AT gun can bring down even the strongest opponents with its rapid fire and overall good damage and accuracy. The only thing the driver needs to worry about is it's side and rear armor as they are quite thin, allowing quick movers to take you down with ease, and any enemy tanks with a cannon that has at least 250mm pen to bust through your frontal armor. Be patient, stay in cover and provide support for your allies and the T28 will prepare you greatly for the monster [[T95]].+

?|History=+
?The T28 super heavy tank was a prototype heavily armored self-propelled gun designed for the US Army during World War II. It was originally designed to be used to break through German defenses at the Siegfried Line, and was later considered as a possible participant in an invasion of the Japanese mainland. Sometimes referred to as a super-heavy tank, the T28 was re-designated as the 105 mm Gun Motor Carriage T95 in 1945 and then renamed a super heavy tank in 1946.+
? +
?==Development==+
?The T28 was designed as a counter to the German heavy tanks, such as the [[Maus]]. It was also set to be used for attacking the heavy defences expected of the German Siegfried Line. +
? +
?Two prototypes of the T28 were built. They underwent evaluation at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds and the Fort Knox facilities until 1947. In 1947 one of the T28s was heavily damaged by an engine fire during trials at Yuma Proving Grounds and scrapped, and the other T28 was reported broken up and also sold for scrap. The T28 never went into service.+
? +
?==Surviving Vehicle==+
?In 1974 the last prototype was discovered abandoned in a back field at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. It is unknown where it spent the intervening 27 years. It is the sole remaining example of these tanks and was exhibited at the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor in Kentucky.+
? +
?==Design==+
?The T28 was designed and manufactured by Pacific Car and Foundry. The mechanical superstructure was taken from a T23. The original plan was to build five prototype vehicles, with a production total of 25. Its total weight when fully equipped would have reached 95 short tons (86 tonnes). To carry this weight, it used four tracks instead of two, each 12.9 inches (328 mm) wide. The outer tracks could be detached for easier transport. After removal they could be fixed together to make a unit that could be towed behind the tank. Due to its extreme weight and low engine power, the T28 had extremely limited obstacle-crossing ability and could not cross any of the portable bridges available at the time, and so was considered impractical in the field and not suitable for production.+
