Because rifleman is so cost-ineffective unit

Soviet and UKF have cost-effrctive long range unit but USF dont have it

And USF have few commander choice
Without priest and m1919, USF is just trash in team game

Firstly, no, you don't need the moving accuracy. The M36 already has range and speed, those two things combined should be enough when well micro'd. The moving accuracy just means the USF player needs to do even less, since there's no need to stop to fire accurately.

Secondly, 260 armor vs. 220 pen at maximum range gives a 84.6% ((260/220)x100=84.6) chance to penetrate; that's really good. The munitions cost, vet requirement, etc. for HVAP isn't really worth it, imo. Even with Panther's vet, you're looking at 77% chance to penetrate.

Thirdly, like I said above, it's pretty clear that frontal attacks aren't designed to work vs. JTs, as your best case is a 57.1% chance to do any damage.

And of course, lastly, cover your tanks with infantry - that's the point of combined arms. Volks are good, but not better than double BAR riflemen, or M1919 Paras, etc. Also the Raketten has a pretty good chance to hit the ground anyway, and has pretty short range. Unless the OKW player is massing them, they're not a huge risk.


Also of note, your chart in your OP is missing moving accuracy and speed, two stats that are critical to its strength, as well as the pretty significant cost differences, differences in population, and the USF's ability to decrew their vehicles, allowing for a bunch of interesting gameplay mechanics.

But it is, you need to open your point of view, not simply show it.
Did you compared those "objective" values that show Jacksons overperforming? No, you just showed jacksons as mini panthers, wich is wrong by definition, both tanks are different, role and design wise. Therefore there is no productive comparation unless you take ALL the details.

but why ? u have also Paks and mines and u can equip all inf with zooks and offmap if u want too.
maybe u just have to develop a combiend arms tactic.
And not the standart infs spam into Jacksons ...where 0 micro is required.

in 1v1 and 2v2 u just NEVER see a JT or an Elefant.

U see only panthers in axis lategame because it is the only stock Tank that is not useless when it hits the field.

Ignore the JT's front armor stat. It's just there to make it seem like an indestructable bunker. The way to beat JTs has always been flanking (look at the rear armor stat), immobilization, and off-map. Remember that it's incredibly slow, even with the upgrade, even slower to turn, and has no turret. It's also basically useless vs. infantry.

It's almost the same thing for KTs, except that it has some decent AI power and a turret; but it loses that insane frontal armor, range, and AT power for it.

Really, you don't need M36s for any of those. Each of those can be beaten easily by a few well controlled Easy8s, with the additional bonus of having good AI power. Also, the KT/JT are both 720mp/280f units, limited to one at a time, and (for the JT) locked to a doctrine - they're going to be pretty strong.



Like I said, the problem isn't the damage, it's the combination of mobility, moving accuracy far above every other tank as well as range. With those things combined it basically makes any and all axis armor irrelevant when well controlled.



Yea, and you can jump out to force the axis tanks to re-target when low on HP.
