good thing that doctrine comes with scout planes.

and "scoot" is something the jagdtiger doesnt do very well

At the rate the B4 fires you can clear the precision shot by moving every reload cycle

M36 is a powerful tank but not good enough to cut it out in the late game.

While it has one of the longest ranges in the game the OP has a good point it lacks the mobility the tank needs to really be effective. Considering a Puma with aimed shot can win the tank needs either more mobility or better cannon ability because right now it is more of a glass rifle. With good starting penetration and great with vet one the problem is trading with Axis armor. You simply cannot trade at all which puts the tank in a difficult spot considering it does not do superb damage while it has only slightly above average mobility.

Because it is made of glass you are almost better off getting another anti tank gun and putting the fuel into another vehicle (probably the great M8) because with the vet one ability you preform very similarly.

OP does a pretty good job statistically showing the mediocre performance of the Jackson and I would like to point out some situation / game wise issues:

Jackson has almost as worse AI capabilities. Due to it facing superior armor, anti tank weapons, and veterancy it is very obvious why upper level players would rather just get another Sherman which can be used in a large amount of situations

Jackson has only slightly more range than dedicated AT of axis forcing it to trade in many situations which it does not want to
(examples are jagdP4, StuG, Pak

Jackson is one shot by a teller. Hard to win late game if a teller wipes out your most expensive piece of equipment on the USF

Many maps favor close engagements with tanks such as the town area of semosky meaning the Jackson has to trade

Quite frankly its hard to flank with a glass rifle. You might find a great situation where you can use your mobility and range to advantage with a flank but if anything sneezes in your direction it has to pull out. not to mention you cannot flank if Pshrecks are near by

Its utterly one dimensional. Quite simply because USF late game scales so poorly other than with M1919s it is hard to deal with both superior infantry and superior tanks without another Sherman. You could get your second tank to be a jackson, but your other Sherman cannot be everywhere with its HE rounds so its better to just get another Sherman.

Last point: its really expensive for a glass rifle. Pretty much all I have to say on this matter

That sounds to me like they got OKW right. Relic already has noted they want to change the call in system to make regular teching competitive. It is not an OKW OP problem its an every other faction problem

It seems quite a few of you are forgetting OKW has a better SU-85 that fills the dedicated AT role
