Then why bother nerfing the armor? I mean, the faction already had the worst cost-benefit ratio for it's units by far, so why make them worse and cost more? It's consistent pattern with USF.


Only 2 axis units really benefited from this nerf. The panzer 4 and the puma. The main reason for the nerf was so that if an axis player successfully managed to sneak a panzer 4 in and dove on the jackson, he couldn't be screwed by a 10% chance to bounce his shot. As for the puma, well you don't really want to be trading fire with a puma against a jackson in general- not really a significant change here.

What USF units fall under this category? Because I literally cannot think of a stock unit that qualifies here from major tier.

Because the change was mostly focused on the P4, which already has 20 less range than the Jackson

With the Jackson's mobility and it's range advantage, your armour doesn't need the ability to deflect a P4 shot. It's not that complicated of a change

Honestly its still a stupid change. Most of the time PIV is misses, because of the move penalties.

I mean it might have been neede but presenting it as "THE FIX" makes it look funny. Probably now some individuals would say "SEE JACKSON ARMOR WAS NERFED, NOTHING WRONG WITH IT".

But hey, PIV wont deflect at max range frontally against jackson now, yay. Not like its the worst scenario situation you can put your PIV but still.

Who presented it this way? The changelog just says:
M36 Jackson

In order to make the Jackson slightly more vulnerable to medium tanks when caught out of position, its armor has be decreased.

What does "THE FIX" even mean? That just seems like an arbitrary term you just made up

Codguy is complaining that the nerf was too much, not that it was a sufficient fix

I actually suggested the change, not as balance change, but more QOL. I just thought small adjustments that have minimal side effects should be implemented for a better user experience.

There might be some other issues with the jackson but these will require strong testing and resources, hence i only suggested a small change in the hope it might actually be implemented (and it did) :).

Because Armor is not the reason Jackson is not being vulnerable. If jackson is caught out of the possition it would either die or run away.

With PIV you want to get as close as possible and possible circle around, you never ever want to engage jackson frontally at such ranges where it can bounce.

Its a change to remove very rare and uncommon RNG. Pointless overall change if you ask me, not to mention considering cost of the jackson it might have diserve the chance to bounce ones in a full moon in his upperhand invirement.

Okay? This has nothing to do with your last comment, you said it was presented as "The Fix". It wasn't, it was simply done to get rid of something that shouldn't have been happening in the first place

Of course it's rare, everyone knows this. The point was that there was no reason for there to be ANY chance of it, no matter how small. It's an easy change to fix a small nuisance

Notes says

"In order to make the Jackson slightly more vulnerable to medium tanks when caught out of position, its armor has be decreased."

And I said its not a fix neither any significant change to address perfomance and vulnerable of Jackson against TDs.

Thats why I said its not the fix of jackson vs medium match up.

If the notes were saying "We want to remove chance of the bounce, to remove un-intentional RNG" then it would be a different story.

Oh I forgot, only mightly German AFVs are supposed to be allowed to bounce shots. How dare a USF unit be able to do that.

The idea that the Jackson needed ANY nerfing is so laughable. It only serves ONE task, how dare it be good at that. If it were a good against infantry like the Panther, King Tiger, Panzer IV, Jagtiger, Elefant, I could see how it might be a problem and need a nerf but it's not

Tell me more about this Elefant AI. I must have loaded the wrong ammo or forgot to build the MG or something.

Not quite sure, but I think he lost a Conscript squad to his own IL bomb strike after T34-ram comboing the Elefant.

That squad wipe could technically be attributed to the Elefant.

You're arguing semantics. I don't know why your talking about the Jackson vs TDs, the change was specifically meant to impact medium tanks. Nothing else. It was not advertised as a major fix

if you lose your jackson to a p4 its most probably your own fault
1. Relic bans, not me. 2. It stands in the rules: If you are banned more often, the duration increase and can lead in the end to permaban 3. The Case is bigger as you guys think. So pls step 1 step away pls. 4. I am not a player in the 4vs4 cup, because of RL work.
