I mean you can nerf these but this should go hand in hand with buffs to the ATG.
Additional obstacle is that simple math á la "-20 far pen on Jackson, +20 far pen on ATG" does not work. But to be honest I'd leave it at that, I have actually talked too much about the Jackson again.

So back to topic:
Just judging from stats (I do not own the commander for the E8), I'd say the E8 lacks a role. Looks like it was supposed to be a anti medium tank brawler. It lacks the penetration against a Panther, even close range is unreliable. It just has quite a lot of armor, although even this is not enough to bounce Axis heavy AT, so it's also not really meant to soak up shots damage from these sources. The 76mm fulfills a similar anti medium role, but is more of a glass cannon approach compared to the E8. Given that USF lacks proper damage dealers against tanks apart from the (sorry) Jackson, the 76mm seems to work better in that regard. Also the switchable rounds let it scale against heavies.

Why do they need to have some of the best support weapons: .50cal, 57mm AT-gun, Pak Howi while at the same time having the best heal that can also be used to recinforce outside of base, 3 different types of OP T0 call-in infantry, free squads when teching, tank crews, the straight up best TD in the entire game, a excellent medium tank that wipes infantry like crazy, cheap access to grenades, cheap access to weapon upgrades etc.
