USF lacks any effective combat units at the start of the game. They have NONE what so ever when the game starts. In contrast every single one of OKW's starting units will trounce what ever you can field. You pretty much have to pray for good RNG at the start of the game. I mean look at what USF starts with:

Riflemen - easily countered by Volks and Strums

Rear Echeleons - LOL, definitely NOT worth 200 MP, arguably the most overpriced unit in the game besides maybe Riflemen themselves. Volley Fire even with the buff is still mostly useless.

Mortar - Can be useful against OST but doesn't really do anything against OKW. They'll just run their T0 shock engineer unit up to it and kill it and you can't really protect it with anything because as I said you have terrible starting infantry

Ambulance - Pointless as a T0 unit you'd be an idiot to buy one before the 10 minute mark.

Ostheer is a little easier to fight unless they go with the Assault Gren doctrine then they'll just sweep you out.

You really only stand a chance if the enemy gives you some breathing room and plays defensive at the beginning but you have nothing with which to force your enemy on the densive since your all your starting units are inferior to what either opponent can field.

People are mad because it can counter a Panther. They think a Panther has the right to roll through everything.

On equally good level players Jackson have a clear advantage. Therefore proving it can do too much on the right hands.

If you wanted to pull out a L2P issue, it just backfired.

A tank destroyer has a clear advantage over what exactly? Name a unit it has a clear advantage over that it shouldn't.

You have to bait the Jackson to kill it with those weapons though. The point is that if the Jackson is well-micro'd, it can always just run away. By the same token, its the best unit in the game at chasing things down for a kill shot

Yeah and...???

1919 paras = good long range consistant damage.

Thompson paras = highest DPS squad ingame with tac assualt.

Zook paras = personally I skip them, but they do get the super zooks.

Overall the squad is pretty awesome. They're sometimes a bit funky to work with since their RA kinda sucks till vet 3. And I mean it actually sucks, it's worse than riflemen base RA. But their DPS is ultra good. Typically they need to be countered by obersoldaten or a vehicle of some kind. Get thompson paras on a retreat path and hit tac assualt and watch squads melt, but remember it also heavily nerfs their RA as well and hurts their movement speed (even when reatreating), so don't just throw it around.

So are the Thompson paras basically like Rangers?
