That is an opinion not a fact and not matter how many times it is repeated it will not become a fact.

Bazookas are not bad, but they aren't going to take down any high armor target, that's a fact.
USF ATG is inadequate and muni ability can be dodged, just move back for 20 seconds when you see it used, that's a fact.
Faction has only a single unit capable of reliable 200+ pen that isn't limited to 1, that's a fact.

Meanwhile, there are still no long and high ranked USF games out there that are won without Jacksons, and people still argue that USF are OK without Jackson (if they do, they heavily rely on doctorinal solutions and stop gaps)

Clearly wheraboos who never played USF :facepalm:

USF would totally collapse without Jackson. It'd be back to WFA release when there was an invisible timer slowly ticking down in the background and USF would just auto-lose their match when it reaches zero (too many heavy tanks, and no counter).

No it is not a fact, since bazookas as all hand held weapon do deflection damage and do almost guaranteed damage to all high armor targets. And with access to super bazookas USF actually have some of the top doctrinal AT infatry in the game that can take out some of the highest armor target like Elephant and JT just fine.


USF ATG is inadequate and muni ability can be dodged, just move back for 20 seconds when you see it used, that's a fact.

The sabot munition last 30 sec not 20 so try to get your facts right. And M1 is not inadequate it works just fine vs its intended targets


Faction has only a single unit capable of reliable 200+ pen that isn't limited to 1, that's a fact.

That literally mean very little, Ostheer/OKW/Soviet also have a single vehicle with with penetration 200+ that is not limited to 1.

I will not even bother respond to your personal attacks especially since the make absolutely no sense. I am not the the topic of this thread so taking about what I do or do not do is simply off topic.

Now can you pls take a break from your crusade of trying to be prove me wrong, so we can spare the people of this forum pointless posts?

Nobody said remove the Jackson entirely. Nerfing a unit doesn’t delete or make it unusable.

That was an overnerf.

JLI were nerfed, but they’re balanced. Falls were nerfed, but they’re still overperforming.

Point is, Jackson needs to be toned down, not deleted. Crying that usf can’t win without the jackson isn’t an argument since nobody is gonna delete it anyway.

A lot of people are for the idea to nerf the unit so badly, that it will land on the pile of "units-that-were-once-good-then-nerfed-to-death". Some people even defend the idea that USF will still work even if Jackson is nerfed to uselessness.

There is no USF without a good Jackson. Allies are currently just a repository of a handful of crutch units.

I agree with this 100%. Jackson is the lifeline of AT for USF late game and I remember how terrible it was to play Allies with WFA came out.

On teamgames. 1v1 was fine. On 2v2 you at least could finish the game before ever thinking of requiring a Jackson. Meh, good luck playing 3v3+.

The unit could be changed, the issue comes from how the change is applied. The problem is that the unit holds down the whole late game for the faction on teamgames, which have a whole different meta than smaller modes. There's no such thing as "combined arms" and smaller scale engagements, when artillery and volume of units are kings. AT vehicles can't be wiped as easily as infantry and AT gun walls. They also have better speed reaction.

There have been countless examples of a faction completely relying on a single unit for it to carry the game, after being nerfed or even overnerfed the faction is adjusted and compensated and then the game keeps going.

I think those doom prophets should learn to adapt instead of having such a narrow mindset.

Nerf jackson wouldnt ruin USF, please do not exaggerate

See though that's the issue, it IS the only heavy armour counter, but it also counters anything below just fine as well, and it's survival traits make it exceptionally good at it. Nobody is saying it SHOULDN'T counter heavies, we are saying it shouldn't counter heavies as well as it does while ALSO doing everything else exceptionally.

It's not an issue of the Jackson is the best TD, it's that it is by such a wide margin.

Something has to give, which is why I support improving medium counters and making the Jackson worse against mediums as a route we could take.

Side note--people whining that no Jackson being op means no usf being viable.... Obviously you agree there is a problem then ya dolts. The idea is to have it possible that losing your Jackson doesn't instantly mean GG. BALANCING the Jackson would come with BALANCING the other AT as well...

Moving Rangers/combined arm away from heavy cavalry commander are solid change imo. Flamer assault engineers and off map smoke could become an issue thou.

I guess one could try to remove the flamer upgrade from As.Eng and give them incendiary grenades and/or Thompson upgrade option.

Actually i played quite a lot against other players to reach my conclusions. I also see frequently livestreams and casted matches. Its not that hard to understand the game and its meta, compared to other RTS.

Its such a lowkey to hit the person instead of the argument. Very sad of you, not to mention your whole intent of shut me down proves my point right. Next time try a more elaborate style, like katitof does.

I will say it again, factions that rely on a single unit are a clear symptom of a upcoming nerf.
