Except folks and fusiliers/obers blob that obliterates US blob and jacksons.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

Then replace that with LMG gren blob and PaKs.

One M8 motor carriage sorts that out... or if you think 3 units makes combined arms, you could out-muscle head on with M1919s. The US has the better LMG blob, after all.

It's the most micro-intensive vehicle in the game. It's very powerful but incredibly fragile, which makes it very risky to use on the offensive without a giant infantry screen. One wrong drive in a PaK's range means pulling it back for repairs immediately at best, and destruction at worst.

If you want a decent counter as Ost, get PaKs or also a Stug to cover your heavier tanks. Jackson doesn't have the durability to quite win a slugfest against the cheaper Stug, and the heavies/PaKs protect against flanks. Same with Jadgpanzers for OKW, and Pumas can also track them down and destroy them very well.

Also, if your opponent has a massive infantry army as well as a few Jacksons running around, it may very well be you lost the match before it was out.

Paks are the only real counter- StuGs are the absolute last vehicle I'd ever build to fight a Jackson. It's the hardest-countered armored vehicle of the whole Ostheer arsenal, except maybe the Brummbar, by the M36... especially since after it takes one shot from the M36 you have 5.5 seconds to get behind a shotblock or out of range (good luck escaping the faster Jackson) before the second shot kills the StuG outright.

Jagdpanzer is better, it actually has the range to compete, but it costs more than the Jackson even unadjusted for OKW income. Pumas can swarm enmasse if the M36 isn't screened by anything. Rear Echelons with Bazookas or just a Captain can do that.

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
