BattleRush Heavy Tanks DLC adds three tanks to BattleRush: the Tiger, M26 Pershing and IS-85 Tank.

The tanks

• Tiger: A German heavy tank deployed from 1942 in Africa and Europe, usually in independent heavy tank battalions. Its final designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E, commonly shortened to Tiger. It was the Wehrmacht’s first armoured fighting vehicle to mount the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun, distinct from the 8.8 cm Flak 36. A total of 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944, when production was phased out in favour of the Tiger II. Its main armament is an 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun.
• M26 Pershing: A United States Army heavy tank/medium tank named after General of the Armies John J. Pershing, who led the American Expeditionary Force in Europe during World War I. The M26 saw brief service in the final months of World War II during the Invasion of Germany, then extensive service during the Korean War. Its main armament is a 90 mm gun.
• IS-85 Tank: The capture of a German Tiger in January 1943 prompted the development of a new heavy tank, codenamed Object 237. Before that project was ready, intense tank fighting in summer 1943 led to the creation of the stopgap KV-85. It mounted an 85 mm D-5T gun, derived from the 52-K and also used by the SU-85, which could penetrate the Tiger I from 500 m (550 yd). The KV-85 combined an Object 237 turret with a modified KV-1S hull: the turret ring was enlarged with fillets on the hull sides, the radio operator was replaced by an ammunition rack for the larger 85 mm ammunition, and the hull machine gun was moved to the other side of the driver and fixed in place for the driver to operate. A total of 130 KV-85s were produced from September to October 1943 before the assembly lines shifted over. Like the KV-1S, it served in dwindling numbers and was quickly overshadowed by the IS Stalin series. The Object 237 prototype, a version of the cancelled KV-13, entered production as the IS-85 heavy tank. First deliveries went into service in October 1943, and production ended in January 1944. Its designation was simplified to IS-1 after the IS-122 was introduced; the latter was later renamed IS-2 for security purposes. The IS-85 Tank’s main armament is an 85 mm gun.
