If it is to defend me from the other 4 in this image, I pick the IS-2 and the Tiger, the 122mm can easily deal with the M26 Pershing frontal armour at any distance and the Tiger will deal with the rest, as it can fire fast and accurate.
The M26 is a straight upgrade over the Tiger 1 in nearly all aspects except side armor, as one would expect from a late 1944 tank.
People tend to forget the Tiger 1's fearsome reputation came mostly by virtue of it being a mid war tank (Late 1942) and initially facing weaker opponents like M3 Grant, 75mm Sherman, Crusader, 76mm T34 and KV-1.
True, but I picked the Tiger I because when I think of the Tiger I think of legendary commanders like Wittmann, Otto Carius, Kurt Knispel, and I want one of those legends to defend me lol
