The Jackson literally lacks any unique weakness (hurr durr it can't do shit against infantry!) which is a massive balance issue when you consider the stack of unique advantages it has.

I'm quite positive it wasn't done ever, because its not possible to do so.
You'll always have units arriving too early or too late.

Assuming the upgrade does need to come sooner (and that's still just an assumption at this point imo), one way to avoid the coinciding with the T-70 powerspike at T3 (which is one of the reasons it was placed in T4) would be to introduce a battlephase-esque side-tech in T3 (like the secondary unlock for USF techs) that unlocks the 7 men Cons upgrade.

The cost of this side-tech would be deducted from the cost of T4 and the upgrade would be a requirement to put up T4. This way the Cons upgrade could come a bit sooner while keeping the exact same timings/costs for tech.

One downside of this is that it effectively does nothing for non-Con builds, but then again that is also how most of the Battlephases for Ostheer work (some give an upgrade for some units, some give access to other units, some just do nothing).

So for example:


Again though, that's assuming the upgrade needs to come sooner. We're going to need a few weeks of testing to get a good (objective) feel for it before meddling with this imo.

Yeah, and this is a valid concern, but the upgrade feels late in T4. The idea of a side tech in t3 seems reasonable on its face.

Why not
Though I´d say that its mainly the early game where Cons struggle and should be (/have been) buffed, cause thats when they are not yet synergising with flamers, snipers, T70, guards and all other stuff
