It would be helpful if the M36 penetration doesn't drop to 160 which even has a small chance to bounce off a Panzer IV.

Thats its a TD doesnt mean it gets a free pass. 160 penetration is a lot especially if you take hvap into account. the suggestions here would make all axis heavy tanks completely worthless which they somewhat already are .against the usf i will always say :build either puma's/jp4's and skip the heavies they dont work against jacksons unless you are on a cc map.
That it doesnt penetrate 100 % of the time doesn't make an unit useless, after all i consider the puma one of the better axis AT units and it has only 50 % chance of penetrating a t-34/sherman

USF needs M18 hellcat (commander)
The gun was almost identical to the EZ8
The Ez8 reliably penetrates
lightly armoured, high fired rate, high pentration, average damage, 50 range, .50 cal upgrade, and same cost and vet as m10,

While the people around here praising / feeling there is nothing wrong with the troll Katitoff since 2013, seriously why should I type something other than his style?
Oh well, when I was writing real contribution last time in here, what did I get? Got trolled to death.

Another thing to add is it takes a long time to simply build the jackson
-It constantly misses
-has the same range as panther
-slow
-misses a lot
-gets killed by 2-3 shrek shots
Microing the Jackson is a hell of a time. it often times gets stuck on supporting Sherman and often times cant turn around, accelerate fast enough to keep it alive.
The unit could use a slight pen buff, health increase, and speed/acceleration rate.

And yes, it had the same gun as the m10.
Funny since the panther kills so many things effectively. The Panzer IV/70 can even shrug off shells from the M36 like it fired rubber shells.

One time my opponent joked with me ( I think he was joking) that I was shooting tennis balls at him.You should buy real shells next time.
I actually have some good use of m36 in close range. It usually comes down to something like, am I willing to lose this jackson so he loses that more expensive thing?
Still, it's situational. It's map dependent. You need the RNG on your side. Your timing must be right.

The M36 is completely insane. End of story.
Remember that it penetrates with ease haslonger range, more damage than any other german tank short of the Elephant and the Jagdtiger.
That's not the ingredients of something that sucks dude, I'd say you suck.
It's perfectly fine if anything a bit too strong if you get many.

The Jackson, badly underpowered. Now, I've heard it all. Yes, it is not easy to use, but it contains or even outright counters all German armor save for the JT/Ele....

And the Panther. And if its so great you must think the SU85 is OP since it can have Mark Vehicle with it and standard it has better Pen/DPS and can site for itself right?
Dont you guys compare the stats at all?
