I hope the balance team don't double nerf the heavy tanks with timing and whatever else they have in mind.
They need it. They're an absurdly cost-effective use of fuel right now. They cost the same as two mediums and perform like three.

The problem is that they tried to shoehorn heavies into been viable on teamgames. It's like trying to shoehorn Super heavy TD to be viable on 1v1.

That's kind of ironic, considering one of them said that not all units are going to be viable equally in all game modes.

The M36, SU-85 and Firefly are all good at kiting. It's how they're designed to operate.
The Jackson would not be the problem unit it is if diving it killed it like it kills the SU-85 and Firefly.

Jackson could use more sight
I too think the Stuart is a key player here. Could even tie increased stats behind major or even all officers if needed. Call it a new variant or something and increase pen and damage so it can be better support.

But an IS2/Pershing/Tiger are more iconic (popular or whatever word) than ELE/ISU/JT

I don't know how you can call Jackson "the hardest to dive" out of all allied factions.
USF is already the easiest faction to dive because USF has:
No nondoc mines that give engine damage(I don't count those garbage 10 muni mines that slow that noone uses)
Limited AT nade(no vet1+ rifles no at nade)
Bad handheld AT(zook)
Bad AT gun against prem mediums and up.
While soviets and brits have:
Nondoctrinal mines that give engine damage
More available AT nade(debatable for brits as there's not many RE squads, but if they are they are probably near the tank.)
Very good AT guns.
Soviets might have PTRS penals with satchels.
Soviets might have Guards with button vehicle that is extremely potent against unsupported tanks.
Soviets might have one of many other AT commander abilities.
Firefly can stun and blind tanks from a long range
SU-85 CAN SELF SPOT(people seriously underestimate this ability, which also means it will see the dive coming)
If your argument is that jackson can just drive away, guess what so can both firefly and SU-85, and those factions have way easier access to long range vision.
All three of these TDs are mostly fine. Jackson could use more sight, Firefly could use a MP reduction from 440 to 400, both should be no more than 14 pop. Other than that they're fine. SU-85 is fine as is.

Can you at least provide some reasons/explanation if your going to force us to read things like this? How the hell can even you think the Jackson is not good enough?
It use to have more sight AND get bonus sight with vet. That would be absurdly OP on the current version of the Jackson, seeing as it was OP on the old one that wasn't as strong.

Oh yay. Countering doctrianl heavies with doctrianl heavies.
Because that's totally not how we ended up in this mess in the first place.
