WDC Orca Skin doesn't apply in Winter Maps to the Upgunned Sherman from Mechanized Company.
 |
Upgunned Shermans are a bit pricey but they are fun to use, their reload speed and radio net can lay down a wall of fire, Mechanized has interesting things while Rifle Co is often picked for RE flamers and it gives you a better Sherman for the lategame.
Both co-exist just fine as niche commanders to round up your rooster. |
Armor, which has been lacking since the M10 being tied to tech.
Airborne, 4 man power abilities? Yeah, needs a rework. |
E8s are good all around Tanks, faster, tougher and no need to ammo swap, regular Shermans are better AI tanks, Jacksons are better at killing other tanks and Scotts are much cheaper.
I'd use them if I picked Rifle Company, one of them can spearhead and survive things a regular Sherman can't, with 215 armor they also bounce some shots from time to time, just keep in mind it will still die to snare + 4 ATG shots. |
They were made around the same during Recon Support's rework.
No real difference.
Only when used by Paratroopers.
All Bazookas Paratroopers use become Elite Bazookas.
None what so ever, you should stick to LMGs to be honest, unless you feel cheeky or it's an urban map.
|
Most Axis builds nowadays are centered around pushing a fast Panzer IV to put heavy bleed on the enemy, Bazookas play into that but it really falls down on who plays best at that point, it's risky but LT play is very popular nowadays and you can always use either of the Paratroopers to drop an M1 ATG if you need one or two. |
I play Captain almost exclusive nowadays, Pack Howitzer is really good now, having an ATG to focus muni on BARs is good too. |
They require more active input now.
I rarely get the US mortar now, prefer going Captain and using Pack Howitzers, they are so good now, heh. |
more range, faster, better accuracy, 100% pen chance while the p4 can bounce frontal armor, try 1 vs 1 p4 vs jackson see how it ends
Jackson is slightly more expensive than them now, so tell me, why would you try to kill a Tank Destroyer with a Tank? |
Is USF only baseline Tank Destroyer doing it's job such a problem?
It's not like you got any other options, because doctrinal options are usually all-rounders, the Jackson is the USF lategame and what used to hold back the faction when it was a meme. |
