Lately I've been seeing alot of USF players spamming jacksons. It basically hard counters the tiger whilst being at a fraction of the price. When I play USF against Ostheer my first tank is usually an Easy Eight as it easily deals with a PIV. Afterwards the E8 gets augmented by a Jackson, which easily deals with Tigers and Panthers. Its currently incredibly easy to play as USF, even easier than it was before the patch.
Ostheer has a slightly better early game since the newest patch... but the new Jackson performance did considerably nerf Ostheer's late-game performance. Mix that in with IS2 meta in team games it seems to be a nightmare now for any sort of comeback.
Thoughts?

Yes, you are right. Thats why more and more Ostheer players prefer going T4 for panthers with spotting scopes instead of tiger. Better vs Jacksons. In teamgames I feel like you need a jagdpanzer or even Jagdtiger (still really good!) to counter.

The tiger is an all-round heavy tank, this means that it is decent at everything; it does not mean that it is excellent at everything and you can solve any problem with them. Support your tigers with panzershreks and AT-guns to deter enemy tank destroyers.

In a typical engagement my Jackson(s) are guarded by Rifles with Flamers+Bars, 1 MG and an E8.
My Rifles and the MG deal with infantry. Panzerschrecks only have 35 range, they would not be able to reach the Jackson before losing too many models.

So in other words your enemy has no vehicle-based AI
He's using his vehicles to counter yours, I don't see the problem

Fraction of price?
2 jacksons cost more then a tiger.
1 jackson isn't a spam.
Don't spam tigers against USF, P4 is still there as potent as ever.
And if jacksons are guarded, there isn't really any excuse why your tanks shouldn't be supported by PaKs and LMG rens.

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.

Tiger is still crucial vs Jackson I think, vs US if his rifleman gets slaughtered, Jackson is not much of a threat. As OH, I fear the M10 horde more than Jackson.

Jacksons cost 125 fuel. Tigers cost 640 manpower & 230 fuel.
Nonetheless I agree that P4's are potent, but with its short range of 40 and no vehicle-lock , Jacksons easily do away with them.

So a dedicated weak T4 Tank Destroyer with no health, armour or anti infantry is killing your super heavy anti everything attack move tanks?
Try countering Tank Destroyers with AT Guns or Shreks.

The Jackson is quite powerfull lately, so it should be. I see no real problem with it, nor with USF faction as a whole. Tiger is a little shitty atm compared to what it should be, but that's another topic.
I think that currently USF armor finlay found its balanced place. If USF where bathing in manpower as OKW, then their tanks would feel OP, but it's not the case. Before patch, USF had nothing strong enough to work in lategame with. Not the case anymore and I'm glad. For balance's sake.

Cover your Tiger with 2 paks, cover the paks with a MG42 and use a sniper to punish squads that try to take your paks or hmg out.
And most importantly, wipe squads with your Tiger and slowly push forward with your force so your paks always retaliate every Jackson shot.
It comes always down to the fact that combined arms > all.

Jacksons are fine, Tigers are not.
Paying double cost of a PIV but just marginally little better than PIV is, a joke.

Tiger is now in a defensive role, and not used to be a spearhead which is now for KT/panthers.
I see lot of post complaining about Ostheer but i think they are actually awesome, like FaustCost said after patch they have plenty of viable gamestyle : Elefants are awesome, Howitzer 105mm + Arty Officer are awesome, encirclement doc is awesome, mortar HT are deadly, you also have Pak43, Close OP support, ...
If you loose as Ostheer it's L2P issue and #adapt.

Yeah, possibly every Allies AT can penetrate the poor Tiger at a quite high chance and it counts as defensive.
IS2 and ISU can't be penetrate even P4 shooting their ass.
This must be awesome.
If Ostheer is really that fine, they won't receive massive [censored], and the OP cheesy abusive Soviet getting massive [censored].
Encirclement awesome? Shit it must be the most regretted 4 bucks I gave to Lelic.

I posted it somewhere else. The problem is the Tigers survivability that got crippled throughout the patches.
1) Less health
2) Weaker Blitz
3) No vet survivability bonus at all
Coupled with
4) Better penetration for the Jackson (which was needed though).
Imo vet 2 should be adjusted to additionally give the Tiger its initial health (pre nerf) back.

I think jacksons cost should be 150 fuel. They're too cost effective now, & in team games are being spammed. Just my 2 cents.
