jagd wolfe ullumulu hoshi and others axis defenders really guys? jackson now is so much problem for u? U talk about tank destroyers spam but what can else usf ? Pls tell me ? poor e8? or maybe pershing aka comet ?
Usf finnaly can do something in late game and its cool now i can chose airborne company and be calm because my only tank destoyer is not a paper anymore.
Someone said jagpanzer is weak because 180 penetration, u know even something with 150 penetration can easliy penetrate evry alies tank and maybe only is2 is problem but this tank is rarely seen.
And why u guys have so much pain for that maybe jackson can be one of the best tank destroyers, if u ask me firefly is better i have no idea why this noob ulumule make thread about usf but no about brits but nevermind
This one tank must handle usf late game and so pls dont talk bullshit like someone said usf has bazzokas and at gun so dont need good tank destroyer jesus what a joke
jp4 will win with jackson because egist something like reload time and if im not wrong jp4 fire faster
Even if jackson is better that jp4 then okw have many other late game options
jackson have so many tasks, fight with medium fight with heavy and now its finnaly posible
USF used to be my worst faction. Post-patch I'm only losing USF games vs top 50 to 80 Wehrmacht players and USF is my highest ranked and highest win-rate faction, so I wouldn't quite consider myself as an "Axis defender". Unlike you, I play all factions, which gives me a more balanced perspective.
My weakness with Soviets is that often my SU85s get circle-strafed or start derping because of a branch or a pebble. The Jackson, however, is truly a perfect tank destroyer. Costs slightly more than SU85 but it isn't a slow and clumsy pathing nightmare. P4/Stugs flanking me? Nvm I'll run away haha. No other tank destroyer has such an easy time getting out of dangerous situations - which is the whole argument the other side is making.
The argument isn't that the USF doesn't deserve an excellent tank destroyer. It's simply that the Jackson's combination of stats - penetration, range, and speed/acceleration are simply too good for its cost. And this combination is far more valuable than raw DPS because only noobs like "some one" will stand still and let Stugs 1vs1 his M36. Any decent and reasonable player simply abuses the combination of range and speed to kite any and all Axis vehicles to death.
In fact, no other tank destroyer has that combination of strengths - SU85 and JP4 have better dps but are slow-rotating pathing idiots. Sure, jp4 has good front armour - but with such great speed, the Jackson either doesn't get hit or can easily escape if it needs to. Pre-patch Firefly was easily the best tank destroyer in the game because its combination of skills - high pen, bonus damage, OP stun rockets was way too ridiculous for its cost. To be fair in evaluation, the Jackson definitely isn't in that same spot of "Super OP" - but it's clearly the no 1 Tank Destroyer in the game right now.
