While the US was developing thermo that like become the M26 Pershing, it was proposed to modify the T26's turret and place mount it on a M4 Sherman chassis. The same was done for the T23's turret resulting in the M4 Sherman's with a 76mm gun. He idea was dropped when it was realized this version of the M4 Sherman would enter service only 3-6 months before the M26 Pershing. Imagine idea not dropped and US forces having a 90mm.
