On December 1944 A.G.F. recommended the develop of a new heavy tank frorm the new Pershing Tank. Two approaches were followed: a modofication of Pershing with thicker armor (T26E5); the develop of a totally new heavy tank. The design proceeded with high priority. On 10 April 1945 a mockup was complete. On this new tank many parts of Pershing were utilized, like 23 inch wide T80E1 tracks, the 90mm gun T15E2 (with single coaxial 0.30 machine gun). Only an extra road wheel was added to torsion bar suspension (seven wheels on each side). The T32 was heavly armored. The front armor was 5 inches of steel at 54 degrees, the turret had 11 3/4 inches in front and 6 inches in the rear. On front of hull a 0.30 machine gun was installed. At the beginning four prototypes were produced, pilots 1 and 2 were shipped to Aberdeen Proving Ground, pilots 3 was shipped to Fort Knox and 4 to Detroit Arsenal.
