buffing the jackson's hp was the wrong buff.


How much HP does the Jackson have?

The sherman is just not a viable option anymore. I think it’s an ok tank with very good anti inf performance, passable at performance and useful smoke, but it almost seems like a waste to make them since they just get bullied by almost anything that can damage it by the time you get access to it. Sherman armor is also pretty weak when compared to what it has to go up against in terms of axis penetration power. What I mean is that even though it has armor values similar to the ost p4 without skirts (IIRC) the panzershreck and pak have higher penetration values than the zook and m1 57mm and will penetrate very reliably, where the latter two have a decent chance to bounce on mediums occasionally (enough to make a difference).

Yeah if m10 was in captain you’d either have to neuter it to hell or it’d just be hilariously op. New meta would be captain and a rushed m10 followed by another 1-3 m10s with paras or rangers and ending the game at like 12 minutes before they even have mediums, and all axis lights would be basically hardcountered.

One solution for the regular Sherman, is the Sherman(76) from the Mechanized Company. They can do it non-doctrinal.

As for the M10, they can also adjust Captain's price by increasing it. I guess that it will balance the tech timing, so that Axis can have a proper counter to it.

The point that most factions have multiple anti vehicle vehicles themselves is important to the whole TD vs TD and TD vs tanks dynamic. If any Axis armored unit hard counters the only US TD then US is screwed in the late game.

However, there is a solution.

Make the M10 non doctrinal and available to the Captian. The M10 then can be made into the medium tank killer and the M36 Jackson can be made into a dedicated heavy killer. This would result in a dynamic similar to the SU-76 vs SU-85 that Soviets have. Of course it has to be done carefully or else you end up with too much overlap or one being OP like how the SU-76 used to be.

US could use a large change to their teching structure. I will be posting a thread on how I believe it could be reworked in the future.

It's doctrinal, it costs alot and it's too slow.
