All agree that the Jackson needs a nerf. A CLEAN NERF nothing like +5Fuel but something or buffing other USF untis .. (WTF) that realy break's this BS OP unit.
1. The Micro Tax
Like the Brum the Jackson get's a Micro Tax... so just remove his crew and popout ability.
It current Stat's stay the same but the USF Player is forced to repair it with RE or other Crew.
- no more Inf Spam in Jackons cause u need the repair to stay in Combat
- will punch as hard as now but no more instant pop out and quick Combat readiness and more "Time of the
Field"
- general more micro required to use this unit over a long time.
- More MP required to stay in combat via RE or other Crew's u have to build another Vehicle for Crew repair.
2. Range to 50
- Get it in Range of other waepons and tanks
- no more safe first strikes
- Heavy Tanks an Med can fight back while Jackson has the same Firepower
- More likely to get shots from Pak 40 and Raketen
3. nerf of pen, acc and rof
pretty simple...
4. the glascannon
reduce its Armor and Health significant.
- it shouldend be a no brainer to use this TD
pretty simple...
I think at least two of these are nessecary to realy change something
I would like to ask Codguy's expert opinion on the matter.
I think having a toggle of some kind could possibly be a solution; high pen, long range but with reduced ROF versus default which is lower pen, normal rate of fire and reduced range with a four second duration before being able to switch - toggling interrupts reload etc.
Okay here we go:
All crying Axis players agree the Jackson needs a nerf...so what?
Explain to me why you think a 120 fuel, 340 MP (or 140 fuel for the better one) multi-use medium TANK should be able to take on a 145 fuel 400 MP single-purpose TANK DESTROYER? Get a grip.
The balance team has already seen fit to wet nurse the Axis player base by handing out HMG42s, Panzergrens, Obers, Fallschrimjagers (you know, the stuff that comes WAY too early) along with non-doctrinal heavy Armor like King Tigers and Panthers.
If the balance team wants to do that fine. But doing that while nerfing Brits into the ground and now possibly the Jackson, it would be a laughably biased move.
Some of the things I've read here recently just make me cringe. Some of you people think a Puma should counter a Jackson. Seriously, WTF?
The Jackson is the only...ONLY unit USF has outside of a doctrine that truly excels.
