While a good solution for the lacking M26 Pershing design, it was only considered a stopgap solution while the experimental T42 medium tank was being developed. The M46 was mainly the M26 Pershing with a new engine, transmission, and a redesigned 90 mm gun. The basis of this design was the M26 Pershing, which was deemed insufficiently mobile for its role as a medium tank. The M47 Patton came about only a few years after its predecessor, the M46 Patton.
