jackson is viable on about 20% of this game's maps
any time it is forced to be inside of its max firing range it dies
and yea, all of your attention has to go towards microing your jackson, meanwhile your infantry are eating grenades/being flanked because you have to babysit a 640 hp "tank"
Panther underperforms against medium tanks. It's fine vs heavy tanks (or high class medium tanks), yet against really cheap tanks it's gun is so much overkill that it is actually far less effective per cost then the PIV.

"my heavily-armored tank hunter is doing too well against medium tanks, buff plz"
Let us know what you find. I've been frustrated by units in buildings doing unexpected things since I started playing CoH. Just last night I lost a sturmpio squad that executed a perfect flank because a garrisoned lieutenant switched targets when I didn't think he could.
I think the real mistake was getting close to the garrison of one of the strongest close combat units in the game
I really don't see where all this panther hate comes from. You have to respect the tank, because it always takes a coordinated effort from infantry and ATG/Tanks to kill one.
