USA-T29.png

The T29 is tier 7 heavy tank for USA. The most notable features of the T29 are its large and extremely well-armored turret, strong enough to bounce shots even from the Maus, and its thin hull with its low and elongated profile. The strong turret and weak hull combination, the hallmark of the American heavy line, allows the T29 to take on tanks above its tier with ease when placed in a hull-down position, and is further boosted by its high-penetration gun upgrade: the 105mm Gun T5E1. The tracks are fairly weak, so a toolbox, repair kits, and a crew trained in repairs are extremely helpful. Research leads to T32.

Historical Info

The development of this experimental heavy tank started in September, 1944. The construction and trials of the prototypes continued until October, 1947; however, the T29 did not enter serial production.

The Heavy Tank T29 was an American tank project started in March 1944 to counter the new German tanks. The T26E3 (M26 Pershing), weighing around 45 tonnes, was not considered heavily enough armed or armored to counter the PzKpfw VIB Tiger II, which weighed closer to 70 tonnes. The T29 was not ready in time for the war in Europe, but it did provide post-war engineers with opportunities for testing the engineering concepts in artillery and automotive components.

The T29 was based upon a lengthened version of the T26E3 hull and featured heavier armor, an uprated Ford GAC engine providing about 750 bhp (560 kW), and a massive new turret incorporating the high velocity 105 mm gun T5. It weighed about 70 tons and was highly comparable to the German Tiger II in terms of both firepower and protection. Other trial models had Allison V1710 V12 engines.

Developed at the same time and closely related to the T29, the T30 Heavy Tank was virtually identical but mounted a 155 mm gun T7 and featured a more powerful engine and an extra crew member to help load the gun.

In 1945, with the war in Europe already over, the T29 and T30 were classified "limited procurement" and a small order proposed on the basis that their large guns and heavy armor would be useful for attacking Japanese bunkers. Army Ground Forces command, however, objected to the deployment of such heavy vehicles and the war ended before the issue was resolved, so only a small batch of pilot models were constructed.

The final variation of the T29 concept, the Heavy Tank T34, mounted a 120 mm gun based upon the then-current 120 mm anti-aircraft gun. There were only two prototypes, one converted from one of the T29 pilot models and one converted from a T30. Once again, the end of the war curtailed further development, but the experience gained with the T34 was valuable in the development of the M103 heavy tank.

There are a couple surviving T29s on post at Fort Knox, Kentucky. One is located in front of the General George Patton Museum of Leadership and there is another located in front of Marshall Bay.
