Tank Destroyer Poll

• The Jackson has the best penetration, the maneuverability to chase down retreating vehicles, the biggest penetration boost with veterancy and an ability that boosts its penetration.

• The SU-85 also has an excellent gun and the powerful Focused Sight ability at Vet 0. It's also the cheapest, but it's the least maneuverable.

• The Firefly has no penetration buffs with veterancy and a terrible rate of fire that doesn't really up for its higher damage gun. It's hamstrung largely for the sake of the Tulip rockets, which already have a hefty munitions cost to limit them.

"The Jackson has the best penetration" lol. m36 cant penetrate Jagdtiger. And this happens very often.

Yes exactly. Show everyone the high armor of the Jagdtiger. M36 very often cannot penetrate this. If i dont have veterancy m36 and muni for use HWAP - You're almost dead.

The question then is which to balance them around? Which tank destroyer is at about the right power level right now?

Yes, a 145 fuel stock TD can not reliably frontally penetrate the most heavily armoured tank in the game that costs almost twice as much. Shocking.

Ok, As A noob in OST what are some of the Jackson's weakness's I can exploit????(I know not the right place but still)

I can only talk about 1v1 and 2v2.

Depends somewhat on your opponents tech... jackson is pretty expensive and cant spot for itself, you could set up a dive with double stugs (works against lieut tech without at guns) or lure it into an at gun and follow up with panther/stug.
Considering their cost, if you can trade with any medium tank for a jackson you will come out ahead. The exception would be the okw p4.

Also shrek squads can help deal with them even tho a good player wont let his jackson die to it, you still can keep it away while your tank deal with their inf. Or/and cover your tanks with double at guns

On open maps id say its rather obvious Ele. you need to cover it obviously with at and mines

Dont get me wrong, the jackson is very strong and a well microed jackson or two is a nightmare to deal with but i dont think its impossible or that the jackson is OP. but thats only my opinion of course

While this poll is interesting, we cannot disregard the general faction that each TD has to work in. Of course the Jackson is too good for it's price, but that's because everything else in USF loadout does not reliably deal even with a P4.
