I think you need an MG in that sov build order m8. + mines, mines ,mines galore. Other more high leveled sov and ukf players will probs give you similar but better answers.

Can someone explain this to me objectively? Because this seems to be the fundamental reason why there is so much whining for a Jackson nerf. I mean I hear people make stupid arguments like "make the Jackson only good against heavy armor" as that makes any sense or could be programmed. Basically it just boils down to people wanting a basic Panzer IV tank to be able to take on a dedicated tank destroyer? Pretty sad the devs gave in to whining and nerfed the Jackson anyway. Did they reduce it's cost back down to 145 fuel? Nope. Every time I go back to playing OST after USF and Brits I'm always shocked how cheap everything is.

I don't know but i'd(and probs you too) be pretty pissed if I couldn't beat a stug3 or JP4 from close range with things like croms/shermans/t34's and those things need more involved control from the player than the jackson. I'd imagine the reason is the same.

That's not even close to what they said

"Garbage" was referring exclusively to the vet 1 ability, not the katy

Question in how many 1v1 games do you see a Katty(specially at high level) anyway?? Calling Katty's vet 1 ability garbage cause it's hardly been used in last 3 tournaments is the same as calling the katty garbage cause it has been hardly used in the last 3 tourneys(2v2 or above is a different question though).

Can we get a revisit to this ability?

Everyone knows its garbage especially for 60 munitions. The Katyusha has less lethality compared to other rocket artillery but it has a special ability which should theoretically make up for it.

Right now its not very effective or cost efficient. I doubt it has ever been used it in the past 3 tournaments. It is a big problem and it should be addressed.

My suggestion is to change the ability to address something the Katyusha is bad at. Such as firing rockets. Since it fires slow but acts as an area denial. Change it to fire the same amount of rockets in a full barrage and 2.5 faster. Similar to the Werfer. Make it cost 30 munitions to do this. Change name from creeping barrage to "Quick Barrage".

L2P with the katty bro, The vet ability might be garbage sure but katty is anything but.

I know it's not that cut out bla bla, have to adapt etc. etc.

Btw, build order works. But COH2 it's more like in the most ideal situation that what and when i wanna build stuff kinda thing. You do have to adapt in the sense you need to play in a way that you can build in the order you were going without getting "Shanked".

Here are some BO's for OST(/ means they are both needed but their order is inter changeable):

1. MG->Gren->Gren->Gren->BF1/Healing Bunker(make it with first squad to retreat)->PG/AT gun and then it get's a little muddy but based on how you played you might need to build another at gun or MG. After this you wanna build a P4 after that your gonna have to go with flow really.

2. same as 1 but replace Grens with Ostruppen.

3. MG->AssGren->AssGren->MG the rest is the same as the others with the exception you need 1 more PG.


Now you have to remember 1 thing, BO's in this game works as weapons similar to other games it has strengths that allow you to pressure your opponent and weaknesses that your gonna have to deal with.

1 is Basic, requires average level OST skill(the avg skill for ost is much higher than other factions btw) to use it's weakness is that it slower and weaker in contrast to all allied starts save for SOV penal or sniper starts. And grens get bodied hard by all other infantry late game.

2 is a high skill ceiling BO, as Ostruppen are even worse than grens they won't beat anyone. The strength of this BO is that your start is fast you can cover a lot of ground and skip T1 building outright and have access to PG's and P4's much sooner.

3 is ummm.... a noob stomper, If your opponent don't know how to deal with that then you can have a field day otherwise it's kinda not that good. Pro's can make it work cause vehicle micro is something they have over normal players, so don't try this unless you have vehicle decent micro.
