You would like the Jackson to be faster and reliably penetrate the heaviest vehicles - right?
Any other adjustments? Perhaps armor, HP, damage or pricing?
I'd like to know your take on the changes of this 'new' Jackson will bring for the OST 1v1 (and possibly 2v2) metagame.
OKW Panher with blitz has 13 speed
You know how glass cannon works in games - no matter if it's diablo or coh - ?
Huge damage, very fragile.
Jackon is very fragile - chec
Jackon can do huge damage - check
Jackon can penetrate almost everything - uncheck .
And also....buffing jackson penetration and speed is literally the stupidest thing I've heard in a while. The only way you can buff penetration is if you nerf the damage to 160, which gets really complicated with regard to keeping time to kill roughly the same for jackson vs tigers, and destroys the defining characteristic of the Jackson in the first place. And do you honestly want the Jackson to be faster than the panther? Give me a break... just learn to properly micro the jackson, it's an absolutely incredible tank.
What makes unit more dangerous? 85% chance to infilct 160 or 55% to inflict 240?
Once I asked why not give IS2 240 damage and lower RoF.
The answer I recived was that it would make IS2 more RNG dependant and we have to minimaze that.
Ok so why Jackson has to be RNG dependant if we don't want so much RNG in game?

So Panther, unit which is already faster than Jackson can have amazing blitzkrieg but Jackson can't have something similar?
Jackson is great unit. I don't deny that. Jacksons do about 50% of my whole damage in all games, no matterd if it's 2v2 or 4v4.
Point is game design.
Panther is design to flank as well as taking fire at front. That's why it has mobility and armor.
Jackson is designed only to flank but it can't flank.
Reversing Tiger with blitz is faster than Jackson!
Just explain me, how to flank vetted Tiger.
As a TD it should kill it because of range which is hard cause of low chance to penetrate and support of paks or by flanking which is also unlikely since all tanks with blitz are faster than Jackson.
And do you honestly want the Jackson to be faster than the panther?
Are you referring to game design, balance or history?
