Jackson needs a slight buff

Why not make it kill everything in 1 shot?

What do you think?

If my Kat can die from 1 hit from a panther than Stuka should die from 1 hit Jackson.

It costs significantly more and comes from a fuel starved faction. It has also a lower range, means it needs to be nearer to the battlefield where it can be easily sniped by a tank dive.
Once the first stuka comes out, you won't see a second one soon, since the fuel income is lower.

But yes op, please give the Jackson 320 dmg per shot so it becomes a fast Elefant with a turret.

Jackson has its problems, but give how it shuts down Ostheer T3, I don't think it needs buffs currently.

It'd be like buffing the Ost panther because it nullifies Soviet T3, oh wait.

It needs a pen buff, because it's absolute shit against anything that isn't a medium tank.

Not even saying a huge pen buff, it's a 240dmg cannon a slight buff to make it a tad bit more consistent, as it is it fails more than it succeeds, the supposed turreted super squishy tank destroyer can't destroy tanks and it's a drain of resources on any other role.

Its main antagonist (the OKW panther) simply laughs at it, its function is more that of giving the panther vet since it can't chase it because of shot blockers/panzerschrecks/pak43/raketen whatever, can't penetrate it at vet 2 (unless HVAP is used, but there lies the problem, you need penetrations to get experience) and even if you are in a good spot to kill the panther it just needs vet 1 to activate the afterburners and go at incredible speed with a ridiculous -50% received accuracy bonus, it's just silly.

or give the jackson 200 damage and increase the pen. this would mean it takes 4 shots to kill a 640hp tank but only 3 if they're hit by a pfaust/AT nade/AT RG.

problem is the Jackson is mostly balanced for OBK but not for OST tier 3 which renders it almost obsolete as is and buffing it will only make it worse.

vs wehr t3: dominant
vs wehr t4: not too good
