USF has a great lategame, possibly actually one of the best ones in the game. The major problem is that it requires comparably much skill, something only a minor part of the community possesses. This is not meant in an insulting or derogatory way or a pat on the back for others, it actually is a problem.
Lategame it's mostly about cost-effectiveness and about the Alpha strike (i.e. the ability to just almost instantly wipe on opposing unit). Jackson is the most cost-effective AT weapon there is, same for the American ATG and Rifles or Paras with upgrades (especially M1919A6). Jackson additionally has one of the best Alpha strikes in the game, since it deals 240 damage. Additionally USF has a great hardcounter to infantry lategame, the M8A1 Scott. Now the big "But" - most of these units are mostly glass cannons. They are extremely cost-effective because they trade hitpoints and resilience for a stronger gun. That means you need to watch them closely and micro them well, which causes limitations on the usefulness of their weaponry simply due to requiring a lot of player time. Even the best players can only put so much time into microing those units, so they are capped to a degree there. Players with less micro, experience or a more casual playstyle will most likely have an even harder time with those units. So theoretically USF has actually an awesome lategame, but few people can actually use it in a great way. A heavy tank that can take a lot of damage and deal it is not as cost-effective, but requires actually less player interaction in many cases. Now what is the problem with adding a heavy tank? It is exactly what USF is atm lacking and would work superb in combination with Jacksons. I think it would be the go-to doctrine and super hard to balance. Countering Jacksons is already hard, imagine if there is some tank that can scout for them and take quite a few shots - I cannot really see what you'd do against that on a competitive level.
