Main difference here is that SU-85 counter heavy armor with higher armor much better and here is the comparison:

JP vs SU-85

Cost
400mp/135 fuel vs 350mp/130 point goes to SU-85 for being cheaper both in fuel and manpower

Pop
15/15 point foes to Su-85 since it can counter unit with higher pop better (heavy armored tanks)

Penetration
200/185/170 vs 240/230/220 point goes to Su-85

mobility
Speed: 5.5/Accel: 1.9/Rotate: 20 vs speed: 5.7/Accel: 2.1/Rotate: 22 Point goes to SU-85

ROF
5 vs 5.65 point goes to JP

XP value
2150/4300/8600/10750/14298 vs 1790/3580/7160 point goes to SU-85

Now as I pointed out the main thing JP over SU-85 is durability which does not really mean that much.

JP is good at keeping other TD at distance but that is about it.

The issue isn't the pop cap, it's the stock army's generally large target size combined with no mainline sandbags and lack of ranged DPS. You basically have to always move into your opponent's units as if you're using assault squads and you suffer a lot from it.




Not quite, non-issue imo. Now if you wanna talk about the teching costs to get them, that's another discussion.




Disagree, REs aren't that bad. They put down the green cover your desperately need and can come in clutch early with volley fire. They can be a decent weapon platform later (zook/M1919/BAR/pickup). They're honestly fine.


I think USF's core issues are

1. No sniper counter and you get just 1 vehicle soft counter that gets absolutely mauled in a real game by 222, camo&sprint and snare, tellers and 19range fausts if it dives too deep to chase the sniper.
2. Lack of ranged play in your engagements. Your only stock option is to rely on .50cals to keep the enemy at range and stop enemy LMG blobs from shredding your inf that's out in the open. Pack howies used to help but they got overnerfed.
3. Captain sidetech for an AT gun is very expensive and not worth the vet 0 M1. The M1 in general is in a very weird spot. USF would probably be better off if it got converted to a 6pdr clone but that's a long discussion and it's probably too late in the game's lifespan for this.
4. LT being the only viable tech decision alongside a LV means you are going to struggle with the stock M4 against a stock P4, especially vs a P4J. Zooks will usually bleed before they can even fire and sideteching for an AT gun isn't very rewarding as mentioned in #3. Unless you are in a comfortable situation, the 1st medium vs medium fight is usually with USF on the back foot.
5. Captain tier has become too weak with the pack howitzer nerf. AAHT is good but it's also your only suppression platform and it dies in 2 hits until vet HP bonus, meaning you don't have .50cals to deal with LMG blobs and elite squads. Pack howies are very expensive and harder to justify with the nerf. M1 is ok but generally not as good as zis/pak/6pdr. Probably better than the raketen at least.


What I'd do to USF is
1) Nerf snipers.
2) Revert some of the nerfed pack howitzer performance.
3) Slightly lower close DPS of rifles and officers and slightly increase their mid range DPS.
4) Make major an optional unit instead of what he is now (not sure with voice lines and coding).
5) Probably make the M1 a 6pdr clone.

I saw late game Paratroop/Ranger spam is effective. Honestly they're the best elite in the game.
Ranger whos very tough and can hold 3 Zook.
Paratrooper is 6men with assault tactic that can instantly delete any squad. or double M1919.

The tough part is you have to build at least 2 RM to fight early game -> Officer. If you're able to keep these squads. Go to Elite is gonna be MP starve.

Though USF mainly denitely have advantage over Axis's one. Especially a Rear & an officer have smoke (that even late come with Major).
