Jacksons got a straight up buff and since there is no change to call-in meta, you'd be insane to tech as Ost. No change there.
I build t3 always

The objective is to have balance between all of the factions and the point of one being OP shows that the patch isn't as good as it could be.

The only factions directly preventing balance is Soviets and OKW.
Ostheer is in a bad spot because of other things like teching, and certain units T4 units being meh,although Jackson nerf helps T3 viability.
and USF takes advantage of that but gets destroyed by OKW, Ober nerf with Jackson buff helps that matchup.
soviets own all factions and if there could be mirrors they'd own USF too,as long as they go shock rifle or guard motor each game which is a separate issue.
If anything there's only one weak faction now and that's ostheer
Despite my chanting I'm only stating that USF is now truly a power faction, not the New OKW.

No he doesn't. He rarely contributes to the conversation. Often he misstates stats. I will point you no further than this thread where he mistakenly referred to a number of Ober stats.
His complaint about the KT ignores a number of advantages it has: non-doc, faster reload, more accurate, shooting at weaker tanks, vet 5 potential, vet 1 ability which is good, vet 3 ability which is good, fast to repair. So if you ignore all that then the cost is the same as the IS-2 and it is a huge nerf. If you instead actually look at the unit you see Americans had no way to deal with this beast and it was a terror. Now they can actually do some damage to it, and it can still be punishing.
Please don't feed the troll.

Let's face it. You're a USF fanboy. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself but stop trying to seem objective.
Under the guise of nerfing blobs, Lelic just nerfed OKW instead, leaving the second most popular blob (rifles with bars or that defensive stance BS/ paras) completely untouched.
Before we had USF dominate early and suck late vs. OKW. Now OKW got nerfed across the board and USF got a massive buff to late game.
This isn't going to create balance in the same way that giving Alex a keyboard doesn't create... well, anything useful.

How about you make a passing attempt to discuss instead of shitposting about me?

@Alex
Seriously this again? I am only going to answer you once because I am not going down this rabbit hole again.
If you can play a full game without teching until IS-2 hats off to you. I have not managed to not field a tank for 15 minutes as Soviet against OKW since I will get destroyed by their infantry.
Sturms repair quickly, but you also get a free repair point with super fast repairs as a perk not a cost! That is a difference in factions, and whether you acknowledge it or not, it makes the units function differently.
So you are concerned about KT vs Jackson, but you seem really upset about the IS-2 KT match up, which is it, you don't get both. If you see an American player you don't have to get a KT, in fact you probably shouldn't. Maybe, gonna sound crazy, you should change your build order to defeat your opponent instead of relying on one super tank to destroy whole armies.
Please don't respond to this, I will not respond to yours.

The repair point pioneers are not Sturm pioneers in repair rate. Sturms DO repair faster because you can't make bunches of them to repair like the other factions can. And your first tech building as Soviets is free thanks to starting resources so going T2 and T1 or just T2 + Cons and call in infantry really isn't hard to do for IS2's.
Shocks, maxims, and what not + con spam can cause OKW huge issues due to OKW's lack of support weapons. Really isn't that hard to kill their trucks either.
I'm not concerned about the KT versus the Jackson, I'm concerned about why it needed a armor reduction to bring it down to the IS2's level when the only Axis TD's that can do over 200 damage to tanks with that high a penetration chance are Super Heavy ones.
The IS2 versus KT match up was already easy enough for Soviets (Not unbalanced mind you), the KT isn't some magical beast tank. It's very slow compared to the IS2.
And glad to see you refusing to discuss things because ~reasons~.
