You missed the suggestion. The suggestions is the opposite to buff the penetration of the stock Sherman and make a better vs PzIV and to remove the extra utility of HE rounds.
He probably just means “nerf Jackson pen” and wrote Sherman by mistake.
From my test games with the winter mod, I don't think UKF will be anywhere near the power level of USF and Soviets in 1v1 and to a lesser extend in 2v2. The basic problems of UKF will not change. They will still be very good against OKW on open long-range maps and will still suck against Wehrmacht in general and also suck vs OKW on maps with lots of shot-blockers like Kholodny, Elst, etc. I really don't think they will change that much.
4 Cons into T70 or USF rifle spam with Pak Howi + LV is still going to be way better than anything UKF can come up with.
The basic UKF problem is the starting 4 man sections are garbage, which will never change because they keep not addressing the issue. They should just make Sections 5 men from the start and have bolster affect all other squads and weapon crews.
The real problem is the M4 takes forever to switch from HE shells to AP shells. You have to be proactive about going anti tank with the M4, which means if you get rushed while you’re using HE you’re gardened.
I feel like people completely forget the whole span of time where USF players were opening with literally anything but riflemen, be it REs, AEs or even Pathfinders..
You mean the patch when people played Recon Support to open with 3 IR pathfinders and then go LT before the 3CP Paratroopers and AT gun drop? Which then changed to the also broken Pack Howitzer drop when people finally realized how broken that thing was?
Yeah horrible time for usf. Absolutely unplayable.
Well the damage reduction in place of received accuracy at vet 3 was a buff. They're also getting cheaper to reinforce with the upcoming patch, soooooooooo
