Afaik 12 is fine considering it's a pretty specialized unit. StuG-III should be 10 population plus get a health buff from 560 to 640 imo.
Jagdpanzer IV could also drop from 14 to 12. Again, fee
ls appropriate considering I think its value is pretty comparable to Panzer IV.
jackson, firefly, and the jagdpanzer are all 14 pop. If you're going to lower the pop on the jagdpanzer4 you need to lower the pop on the jackson and firefly as well.
I dont agree with you firesparks . the su85 didnt get buffed its role got changed from a medium tank hunter to a heavy tank hunter. its buffed penetration is very useful against heavies but the nerf to rof makes it less suitable against medium tanks. in fact a su85 vs a stug and their is a good chance the stug will win if the they are at 50 range when the fight begins
the su-85 is still awesome against medium tanks.
Infact, the penetration buff on the su-85 give it 100% penetration against the OKW panzer 4. The drastic increased in accuracy also affect its effectiveness against pretty much everything.
old su-85 have 55% accuracy against panzer. The new su-85 have 88% accuracy against panzer4, that's a huge difference. The su-85 can also chase down fleeing tanks more easily, since its accuracy is still 44% on the movie.
The boost in maneuverability for the su-85 also make it hard to flanker as well.
and the su-85 out range the stug to begin with, with a focus sight ability as well.
