JK that got removed last year, my bad. Still dont think jackson should have .5
Making it miss more often just doesnt seem like a great way to balance it. Reload speed and cost make the most sense to me

He didn't make an argument he made a statement of fact. Most vehicles go up in range increments of 10, the ones that don't are things like Tigers and Comets not TDs
Range is not the way to nerf the Jackson, there's a reason that change got reverted
Maybe.65 like panther, but i see no reason for going straight down to standard tank moving accuracy

Tanks are being standardised to have 0.5 moving accuracy, why should the Jackson be exempt from it? in the past it couldnt pen certain tanks reliability from the front thus they needed the move acc to flank heavy tanks but with the buffs in penetration and hp over the years, ther is no justification for it to have 0.75 acc on the move.

That would just make it a more mobile firefly though wouldn't it that trades tulips for a crew

All the TDs?
The M10 is mobile. The Firefly has a turret and enough mobility and tulips. Honourable mentiones to the Puma and Panther as mobile vehicle hunters, if not proper TDs.
The vulnerable to rushes part is purely for fixed casemate TDs like the SU85 and JgPz IV and StuG.
What they are all actually vulnerable to is infantry, for which they have zero response. And the jackson is as weak there as any other TD.

I mean. The jackson is uniquely disadvantaged when fighting unsupported because it has a gimped LoS. It can't chase because it can't self spot and it can't well defend itself alone because it can't see anything.
That is, in ny book, a proper weakness. Not as crippling as the casemate lack of turrets, but it also costs more than an su85, and the su85 not only has normal sight but two different ways to improve on it.
Saying it has no weaknesses it a little disingenuous.

It's not "uniquely disadvantaged" nor does it have "gimped LoS", it has 35 sight like most other tanks.
The only chasing Axis tanks that would have a sight advantage are OKW tanks with Panzer Commander, the Command Panther or any tanks affected by the aura of the Command Panther. It would easily outrun a tank that would try to use spotting scopes or breakthrough for sight while chasing.

i dont consider myself biased by any means, and can say that with earnest, but the when using the jackson you have to fuck up to lose one, not be out played because it is so forgiving and that is the problem.

like ukf ? i don't remember them getting 2 td
Same for the panther, tiger, king tiger, churchill etc... even the OKW Pz4 could be included into this list.
People are simply focusing too much on the Jackson in a vacuum and don't want to look a the faction as a whole. The Jackson is the only mobile dedicated AT unit USF have and this is the root issue of what the Jackson is today. Adding that the second AT unit USF have is locked behind a optional tech make the USF faction overly depending on Jackson to be its bread and butter for AT.
Note that Ranger's change with super-zook gave new opportunities to USF players (at least on 1vs1) to be less dependent on Jackson to counter medium tanks and Panthers.
