In the alpha I suggested tweaking them so they were complementary, with Jackson being lower pen, higher damage, and Firefly doing normal damage (160) but having very high pen.

Its a pretty silly design, because it makes in a giant munitions sink and fairly pointless at anything else.

FF has 200 damage and 10 second reload. Due to its terrible turret rotation and reload, it is the lowest dps unit in the game for anti-tank. However, if you add in the rockets, it becomes the highest alpha strike at bar none.

actually the panther and the firefly are tied for the lowest dps unit in the game. I think the panther is a tiny bit better but not enough to make a difference.
I think the base unit itself is good if overpriced, but the tulips upgrade is overpowered.

Firefly is glass nucler bomb if you manage to land rockets.

It's also cheaper than the firefly, has better mobility, turret rotation and vehicle crews/super glue.
Back in the alpha the firefly used to have pretty good armour and a 6 second reload, also the rockets could target infantry and decrew paks. relic in all their wise wisdom nerfed all three rather than just the tulips which were really the only problem (it still used to lose 1vs1 vs a panther).
Now brits have a decent but massively overpriced TD that dies to a single puma or StuG. Hell I saw a replay earlier of a guy circle strafing a firefly WITH his tiger

A Firefly backing a Churchill is a pretty mean combo, much better than a Jackson backing a Sherman .
Try adding a command vehicle into the mix. All you have to do is plop down a command universal carrier next to the firefly and it will effectively double the Firefly's rate of fire, making that 10second fire rate much better.

But panther is fast and durable, while its MGs and pintle provide okayish AI performance.
FF is exclusively AT slow, soft block.

-Reduce reload time
-Tulip rockets are now free to fire, but their performance is nerfed. Now rockets would deal much less damage and would match two sherman HE shells or something like that in terms of performance.

Haven't faved any ftulips yet, so can't talk about that. But my panther could easily take on 2 FF's because of it's high speed
Well if the tulips hit and the firefly hits too, you can easily take down an ostwind in 3-5 seconds without the enemy able to do something about it.
