I think that jackson could use a range buff
or revert the range buff on the heavy tanks. They didn't need the buff to begin with.
I disagree strongly. The penetration does not reliably penetrate Panthers, and the Jackson is a TD dependent on scaring away its victims since any unit that close with it will beat it. This on top of the fact that it has 0 AI ability so it has to be amazing at its one job.
bouncing shot is kind of the panther and tiger's trick. the heavy tanks shouldn't have gotten a range buff to begin with.
Lower the jackson's pop cost to 12. Its pop cost shouldn't be higher than the panzer 4 and be the same as the superior jp4.
also, buff the US 57mm. it's a pop gun compared to the atg everyone else uses. The higher rof on 57mm does nothing at all. Even the multi-role zis 76 is more reliable in terms of at. The raketen managed to be more effective at AT and still cost the same.
keep in mind tho that you need to nerf to the usf early game if you buff the mid-lategame, because usf isnt in a bad spot right now at all. if you buff mid-late and leave early game it will make them stronger than their counterparts.
but i never see a jackson to be honest..
at this point it's easier to buff the ost early game to match the other 4 faction. Specifically, the ost need better anti-vehicle option.
