German tank destroyers dont have to fight vehicles with high armor that often. Pershing and IS-2 are doctrinal. Comets are more expensive and for brits only.
The Panther however is a regular and common tank for axis.

German and soviet tank destroyers excel in rate of fire making them much more effective than they might seem from their penetration values.

Jagdpanzer4 far DPS: 28.88
Effectiveness against IS-2: ~13 dps
Jackson far DPS: 21.24
Effectiveness against KT: ~11.3 dps

This is the closest the Jackson can get. Data from stat.coh2.hu

BS, just try to play a teamgame without USF P2W (Calli and Pershing) docs or without broken brits and you will feel the agony/challenge of playing allies in 4v4 before brit release .

then there is no problem. If UKF is still not a favored pick in high level tournaments, then you just need to get good.

As you said, shut down UKF in the early game. Ostruppen is a good counter.

Until we start seeing more UKF in high level play, Axis players need to stop crying and start watching high level matches to see how they deal with UKF because for some reason they still prefer SU or USF.

I hope you aren't serious about Bazookas.

I wish they would just bring the 57 mm's performance in line with other ATGs. If they did that, USF wouldn't need to rely on the (arguably) under-performing Jackson so much.

I think we've seen way too many high level casts where if USF doesn't win in the early and mid-game (specifically killing the first Axis P4), they tend to lose in the late game because there's nothing to be done when OKW or OST hits a certain critical mass of armor. Any combination of a Tiger / KT + Panzer IV or Panther is huge trouble for USF that simply doesn't have the units to deal with this much armor and firepower barring lucky mine hits (which they don't even have most of the time except M20).

I would be fine with heavy crush + increased penetration. I think most USF players learned long ago that flanking / diving w/ the Jackson is pretty much a no-go, and you just have to use it defensively to keep Axis armor at bay until you are absolutely 100% sure you can move in for the kill. So more health and armor is meh but would be nice if it penetrated the frontal armor of OKW P4's / KT / Panthers more often.
