If you want to be more creative, then here's an idea: panthers should be removed from the game altogether, except maybe as expensive, limited doctrinal units. Then give ost non-doctrinal tiger like OKW gets (but limit them to 1 heavy, so no tiger and elefant at the same time) because, ironically, tigers are easier to take out than panthers are because of how slow they move and fire. If you want allies to stop spamming TDs, then remove the unit that forces them do to so in the first place.

Edited: I felt sorry because i went too far, i put the picture in spoilers, i wanted to bring up some exageration humour.
IMO panthers are not neccesary to be removed to fix USF lack of good AT. But indeed panthers are strong late game presence. When massed they are a big issue too.
Maybe a non-doc tiger I could decide the better heavy tank meta (maybe?) but i think that solution goes too far.

Anyone pay fuel for a mortar?

OST, SU, OKW and UKF (because of teching/buildings tho)

They cost a lot of MP already. Fuel only will delay teching and a much needed AEC or cromwell. Even in teamgames mortar pits are a risky bet. OKW can counter them with LEIGs and FHQ.

UKF mortar emplacement is to counter barrage other indirect fire and protect other empacements, and they are not the best at it currently.

If the churchill gets nerfed too much, I don't think people are gonna build either of the final two brit tanks. Hammer and anvil will come down to a choice between the perks and everyone will ignore the vehicles

Doomsday prophet here bois.
No one is saying to "nerf too much" churchills, and what is "too much" for you?
It doesnt need a genius to realize that an onvernerfed unit wont be used, but maybe a fair nerf will make churchills be used as much as other factions can play aswell

As it is, very few players pick hammer instead of anvil. And comets are never taken into balance issues since they are not being used (it cant be UP, if it absent from games!).

People did complaint rightfully about KT being a "I WIN" button, but if chruchulls are to become the UKF most important unit, no one bats an eye?

If they get limited to 1, then shouldn't they get buffed with a large price increase? At least feels like the comet in it's current state isn't good enough to limit, and if you nerf the Churchill same for it IMO. Might be good enough now to limit, idk

Cost efficiency for premium units is a very bad idea, there is not a single other unit that does that, neither allied or axis. And cuhrchuills perk is durability and field presence.
So Remove smoke, slap infantry buff aura. Increase frontal armor, reduce some rear armor and decrease its HP pool to make it risky but only to RNG to throw them into the frontlines. Maybe add a unique feature against snaring (an active ability that allows them to move at full speed no matter if they have engine crit).
Those changes will give a high risk/high reward/high skill profile to churchills

No what needs to be looked at is the other aspects of USF and how to optimize this so that they don't need to solely crutch on the Jackson when facing anything above a medium. When this is done, you can obviously change the Jackson. I thought that was clear, but it seems not. As someone else mentioned, a price increase would be the safest option if the other aspects of USF remain the same. Performance nerfs will mean serious trouble for USF.

I can agree with you, but if you let me add a little detail. M36 are very good and useful TD, versatile to say the least, able to dominate the tank territory (unless they get outnumbered, of course).
If they were to be so good that risking some of the midgame is worth to get a jackson in time or that it is so useful it can turn tides in lategame because axis tank are bein pray instead of predator, then we have a usf metagame that centers about the jackson instead of a usf starving of AT tools.
Its perfectly fine for tides to turn, but the only and best tool to get that done is for the USF, the jacksons. There is a before and after a jackson field the game, not to mention when 2 of them are present.

In other words, USF is not lacking of AT tools, its that jacksons are so worth they force most of the sensible players to rush and get one ASAP. I've seen lots of complaints of USF players of the grenade and racks sidetech, only because they slow the jackson timing.

On the other side, As long as axis superheavys have to be countered by other tanks and TD (and not other game mechanics), jacksons are a necesary evil. But an evil unit aswell. Sadly there is no simple solution for this, there has been countless threads about jacksons. But this might get things right for once, i hope. Maybe if M36 can find itself a good spot between the other allied TD we can call it a day.

As i said earlier, USF mechanic is to have unit upgrades and lots of muni price tags, to enable them to adapt and punch hard at the same time. Most units are cost effective to allow high risk plays to be often executed and force trades that will mostly corner axis.
