Thanks for your analysis.

however imo, the problem is shown again. Allies late game is too cost effective in unit price, vet bonus and popcap limited.

If you see the match, a lot of time both sides are near 90+ popcap, but the allies unit composition is superior.

The Okw player could have got a Jp4 instead of 2 rak, i dont think anything else can be done differently. The 2 stuka arty is needed, because Axis cant compete late game infantry.

A lot of Axis tanks were damaged/lost thanks to the range and bonus of FF and Jackson. Simply no response possible as they shutdown large area. The Scott is the icing with the arty attack. The only hope was PG blob. Sadly PG blob is struggle against Brit Eng blob in utility(no repair) and can be stopped easier thanks to allies accurate arty or area denial as you seen.

Basically, Axis in late tanks vs tanks duel, will come out inferior always, matters like crew repair, Engineer piats, all adds up.
Allies TD are now a hard counter against Axis tank, with very little response. Same with Arty units like Scott.

This is same problem i faced in 2v2. This is frustration that the live game balances is causing.

Yes USF was made for mobile and accuracy. But not with jackson buff and corresponding panther nerf.

So Usf now have a powerful Td that scales very well with late game and still retains its mobile and accuracy and self repairs and army size?

You see the problem. On one side, we say Wehr was design for late game and armor, but conveniently dropped just because people complained. Yet you want others to accept Usf design should remain together with buff and cheese units?

Jagdpanzer I am not too sure of its penetration stats but from what I have encountered, has worse penetration than Panther.

Jagdpanzer has the exact same barrel as Panther and penetrates less which is wierd. It should have the same penetration stats. Just saying. Does not make sense to make a duplicate worse than the other.

Stug needs maybe an ability to increase penetration. Its current Stun ability being derelict/useless stun for 1-2 seconds, dealing 80 damage and for what. It needs some ability that serves a purpose. That is what it needs or a change.

Maybe a HE shell for STUG would be interesting. Just saying!

Or maybe just increase the range or penetration on veterancy? The days and theme of vetted armor skirts for axis tanks, are long gone and not enough.

But two StuGs will completely annihilate a single Firefly. Worst case you lose one Stug and it's still a good trade.

In isolation maybe. You still will lose 1 stug, not a worse case.
But in game, not likely. Diving in with Stugs is going to be tough against supportive cover, you will lose all stugs, just depend how much tanks you get.

Firefly play profile is defensive, not easy to get an opening. Of course with its slower turret, stugs are ok. But for other tanks, stug is a terrible.

This is the problem^ that and the panther being nondoc. But you'll never see a change to things like this.

And panther isnt a strong td for its costs, just a generalist tank winning over medium, and often you are left with 160-320 hp, just hope there is not AT behind or snare or another medium tank follow up.

Usf can go triple E8 and really punish 2 panthers as easily. Yet Panthers will get shut down by Jackson ATG inside the Fow. Or throw in IS2/KV/SU85 if Soviet. Or Churchill/Firefly.
