That depends on the target.

Saying the Easy Eight has bad AI is just plain false.
It's got the exact same AoE distance as the standard Sherman shells, the Comet and the Cromwell.

The Comet and the Cromwell AOE is 2.5(scatter 6.4-12.8)

76mm sherman Armor piercing round AOE is 2(scatter 5-10)

Versus P4 head on (tank v tank)

It's saving grace would be that it is at least better than the regular M4A3 at fighting Panzer IVs, but it is still only barely capable of doing that.

No, the former has the upper hand in every situation.
Jackson can penetrate everything and 75mm sherman can kill infantry easily
Ez8 can't do either well
The situation that 75mm Sherman+Jackson can handle is much more than 2 Ez8s can handle and much less risk

Statistically the E8 is the perfect medium tank. It's got mobility, accuracy, pen, durability.... The problem lies in its commander being undesirable and its role being unnecessary due to the Jackson. Why pick a commander to get a tank that is a mobile slugger when you can pick another commander a just outrun/out gun everything with your TD? You put the E8 anywhere else and you will see it more, if you put it in any other faction, even doctrinal you would see it ALOT more because it's role isn't taken.

It either needs decent anti inantry capabilities or be upscaled like ostwind: increase its price and buff stats closer to comet level. Right now its pointless.

Why dont we nerf jacksons and see it shine again?
It is not worthless nor pointless, it is overshadowed by Opness...

Like the 76mm sherman. Great tank, but redundant. Why put a tank in range of return fore when you can out range the enemy and have better results.

My problem with it is it's to expensive and the rof is too slow to be used as a flanking tank, its pen and range is too low to fight panthers head on, and its ai is terrible.
Most axis armor have blitz to keep it from
chasing. I've never seen this tank being used, that is the stat that matters most.
Good players are not going to start using them because you think it is good.

Overall, the Easy 8's gun has average AI along the lines of the Cromwell and Ostheer P4. It isn't amazing like the OKW P4 or godtier like the HE Sherman. Considering its AT performance gives the OKW P4 a run for its money, I'd say that's fair.

Ez8 isn't supposed to be very good vs inf. It's mainly a brawler AT tank with 200+ armor and 800 health and a gun that always pen all ost mediums basically 100%. A step up from the T34/85 in every way except inf killing power.
