I think that nerfing the KT armor + buffing the Jacksons PEN was a bit too much.
With those stats a Jackson will be able to reliably penetrate a KT from the front... that's a bit overperforming if the cost of both tanks are taken into consideration.
Personally I would say that the Panther is now more attractive for a OKW player as it has good speed and nearly the same armor (320).

The Jackson-PEN buff means that the Tiger 1 now deserves an armor increase back to its old levels.
It currently has 300 front armor which makes it an easy prey for a Jackson (especially with AP-rounds) and an IS-2.
...all considered with the new Jackson stats (200 / 220 /240) // 240 / 270 / 300 (Armor Piercing Rounds).

Those are the things I would like to see in the next patch:
- Tiger 1 armor buff to 320 armor
- Tiger 2 buff to 400 armor
- OST Gren-Squads up to 5 models with changes to the weapon profile to bring the DPS to the current value
- Jackson Damage from 200 to 160 with slightly better reload (this is needed to make OST-T3 reliable against USF)
- Ostheer Tech and Building Fuel-Cost switched
- USF Rifles should only be able to equip one M1919 (especially in consideration of the upcoming Ober nerf)
- Changes to the doctrinal meta (http://community.companyofheroes.com...ier-restricted)

All the Allied fans keep asking Relic for a Pershing commander so here's what one might look like. I think the key is to balance a commander so it is not 100% reliant on its call-in to be effective, while not giving it too many early CP abilities as to make it overpowered relative to other commanders.

Thats funny, because your Community-Commander is potentially the most OP-commander I've seen yet. 50% less ammo cost for M1919 + ammo/fuel caches for 150MP (with increased sight range)... and if that isn't enough two Echelon squads with LMG's for 380 MP, which would be their regular cost (x2 160MP. Those abilities combined completely break the game.

...and if you can't win the already OP USF early game with those abilities you call in a pershing for 190 fuel (haha) to finish the job and easily destroy most tanks and infantry with phosphor bombs, just in case it hasn't been already annihilated by ridiculous M1919 spam. If the tank somehow gets destroyed, you simply bring it back to life with the magic repair vehicle... while the destroyed hull is protected by another Pershing and a horde of M1919 squads and Echelons with double Zooks.

You are funny.

If a tank hunter couldn't bounce the shots of enemy tanks it would be a rather shit tank hunter don't yah think?

Yeah, its called Jackson.

My Standard-BO:
Sturm
Kubel (most of the time gets destroyed at ~t3 mid-game)
Volks

Raketenwerfer

Obersoldaten (IR-STG)
Luchs

- Enable Fuel conversion -
Panther

I use my two Sturmpios to deal heavy damage towards my opponents early infantry units and especially against USF this tactic is very powerful, my Kubel suppresses them and my Sturmpios get on point blank range. There have been times where I squadwiped 2-3 Riflemen squads straight at the start (=gg).

Two early Sturmpios are a good answer against Maxim spam too, once the maxims are outflanked they will be decrewed in seconds and the Kubel has high enough HP to scout the Maxims and their MG-direction.

The biggest advantage of the STG-44 is that they ignore cover. No cover bonuses against Infared STG-44s.

The enemy cannot use buildings, walls, anything to lower your DPS. That's a pretty big deal. If the enemy is at long range and in heavy/building cover you probably do more damage with the IR STG-44.

Personally though I skip it 90% of the time. Obersoldaten work fine without it. Munitions can be better spent on mines or other important resources.

Special Operations is quite good but I did write a guide on it so I'm probably a little biased.

Thats true, SpecOP's is pretty ammunition heavy because IR-STG's and Shrecks cost 90 ammo each so there are no resources left for mines, happily INF-Grenades only cost 10 ammo which means that they can still be used in good extent.

I did not know that the IR-Upgrade negates cover... this makes the upgrade even more effective and it explains why my Obersoldaten rape Infantry that is in cover or on buildings, thanks for that.

At the beginning of WFA I thought that the IR-Upgrade is useless because OKW already has very powerful Anti-Infantry units (Sturmpios, Luchs etc.) but when I decided to try it out I noticed the impact that it made on Obersoldaten, once they are in cover or in a building they are extremely powerful... better than a Luchs (prone to AT) in my opinion, which means I can safe that fuel for Panthers or a KT.
