I think the 76 should be removed in the first place. But if it must stay: Are you kidding? Nobody here said that it should be just as good! It's just that it's absolutely horrible and not cheaper enough than Panzer IV to make up for it! Since it can't get cheaper, BUFF IT. MAKE IT NOT SUCK.

Use the tank for 5 games and you'll see how it has nothing on the Panzer IV which can stay around the entire game unless the enemy is going for doctrinal tanks, at which point you put out your own/put out a Panther and keep the perfectly viable panzer tacticianed (or not), Blitzing, armored skirted MG equipped Panzer IVs around and deal damage just fine.

Jackson is already bad and you want to kill it further. Unless it gets something like its penetrating shot ability at vet 0, it will remain useless against heavies. And just because it is USF's best option, doesn't mean it is cost effective when compared to other factions' options.

It's not horrible at all, it needs better late game power (better vet bonus's or optional armor upgrade) but is not in any universe a bad tank. It's one of the best tanks for killing enemy infantry in the game. Good crush, good squad wipe potential, fast. It is at a good cost point right now for what it does. Soviet techning still needs a rework.

And the Jackson is anything BUT bad, it's literally makes building anything smaller than a Panther nonviable thanks to it's great mobility, range, and damage. It's the best medium TD in the game bar none and it makes the Jadgpanzer and SU-85 look like sickley grannies the way it can run around the map punching enemy armor and moonwalking back out.

There are 2 non TD tanks in the game it does poorly against: The KT, and the Panther. That's it.

You mad bro? No man, please educate us how AT gun + T-34 (Panther is hard counter to this) alone stops a panther supported by infantry and paks.

Reverse your T-34 into the range of your AT guns, watch has he runs up over a mine/gets at naded chasing you and then is killed by your AT guns. If your charging your T34's into his PaK wall anyway your to hopeless to give advice to anyway.

His infantry won't get anywere near your PaK wall thank's to your maxims and infantry. If he tries to crawl up under suppression HE barrage his ass.

So nerf Jackson, which in turn is not viable against heavy tanks. Jackson this Jackson that. Panzer IV does more against non-doctrinal Soviet anything than Jackson does to it. I'm tired of hearing "but, but Jackson!" to justify how Panzer IV is a better unit than T-34/76 in every way.

And wow, 76 is fine in every way except it falters late game (you mean after the 2 minutes between Ostheer T2 and CP11) while Panzer IV isn't? If there was a time to say "biased Axis warrior", this would be it.

The 76 costs less manpower and fuel to make, so in what world do you think it should preform equal at all huh?

The PIV is just a medium tank, seriously your making it out to be waaaay better than it actually is. It can be penned easily by the ZiS/SU-85. It also comes in a tier with units that will literally get you nothing against Soviets.

Nobody is saying it's bad, I'm saying it simply isn't worth the teching cost at this current time.

The Jackson just needs 160 damage like all he other TD's and a better ROF. It's not better or worse than the other medium TD's except for the fact it's far far more mobile.

No skilled Ostheer player builds all 4 tech buildings. In 1 v 1 or even in large games, a skilled player would either want a P4 + Doctrine support or Panther + Doctrine support. If 4 v 4 go on past 40 minutes mark and Ostheer/Sov sitting on fuel than both players would build T3/T4 in addition.

You never want P4 unless you facing all soviets no matter what, so that's t3 gone, and if you don't have call ins you NEED to get to t4 so you have something to compete against the allied medium spam that's incoming.

So are you honestly saying Ostheers over priced teching is good design because people skip it? Because I can't pin down what you are trying to say here.

If Ostheer only builds t1 and t2, they only already spent a little bit less than it takes for Soviets to go t1 or t2 to t3 or t4 (not fuel wise, MP wise).

Both Soviets and Ostheers teching are broken, but at least soviets don't have to put with insane teching costs just to get to their only viable late game units.

And there isn't a single Soviet tank you will have more of than the enemy will have its counterpart. 4 Panzer IV's vs 5 T-34/76s, that's the cost difference ratio, and guess which side wins effortlessly with the least bit of support?

The PIV isn't viable because of the Jackson and the fact it's in a tier were every other unit in it is useless. It has zero to do with the T34/76, which is fine unit that's only weakness is that it falls off in viability late game.

Vet 2 armor skirts? Big boon right there. And saying blitz is just better than capture is an understamement. They don't belong in the same realm of existence. The same thing applies to Target Weak Point vs Tracking. Not to mention Axis tanks are far easier to keep alive, and they do better cost per cost too.

Which ones do better for cost? They are all expensive as garden. The Tiger is so popular because you don't need to bust your balls teching in order to get it.

Ostheers tanks are moderately better because your not going to have a lot of them, nor a lot of infantry supporting them. And I just said Skirts should be an upgrade, not a vet ability.

Your slippery slope arguments in every post are just uncomprehending. You don't need to go out of your way to defend every single Axis unit. We all play Axis and we know the strengths and weaknesses.

Ostheer has been dealing with Call in since 2013, it's not difficult. MP drain, what are you talking about? Stop creating a situation where Axis player is completely on the back foot, it's a L2P issue. Thanks.

I have never one used the word slippery slope. And Ostheer has a MP drain due to teching costs/high cost infantry. I'm not even defending or discussing any single unit, we are discussing faction design.

Although I find it very cute that you follow me around asserting Iv said things I never have.

Yeah I sure am hyped about a cash shop, I adore spending money to play a game Iv already payed 60+ dollars for.

And we haven't actually seen any evidence of said rude stuff, all Iv read ITT is people being understandably upset about more nickle and dime bullshit.
