There is a clear difference between the high level and the rest of us. This game is constantly balanced in favor of the high leveled, so about 5% or less of the playerbase. Do you see a problem with that?

There's no problem in balancing a game around people who know what they're doing. What's the alternative? Balancing it around people who don't know how to play?

Bad players can get better, and so will eventually learn to deal with things. If they don't become better then that's their problem.

It would make sense to give all MGs a pretty absurd scatter value in order to make them more consistent.

What values go into "Scatter" exactly? Are there percentage chances involved for whether a given shot will scatter, or is it primarily a case of angles/AOE in which scatter can occur? The former would make this potentially a VERY valuable statistic to tweak.

If possible, I'd suggest that all MGs have between 66-80% scatter "chance", which should ensure that models don't get focused down before suppression can occur. This might even let you increase the damage of some MGs without making their suppression worse, if that were desired.

I know (From my own testing) that scatter can allow an unit to damage units from a squad it isnt actually targetting (And interestingly enough, this scatter check seems to ignore range and sight. I was able to hit and damage models from a squad that was on the other side of a sight-blocking wall). I can't recall as to whether it allows you to damage a stealthed unit, but that's rather a niche scenario anyway.

Some factions have something or not have or hard to use is factions problem.Factions have but you not use is your problem.

I'm pointing out that you're making the statement that UKF "don't get" heavy tanks without "Top Teching", as though Axis don't have to do the same thing to access their "Heavy Tank" (Panther).

You're selectively downplaying UKF heavy access.

Ok, I'll take your argumentation, so the best Atgun in game can bounce 4 times in a row vs a medium tank. You're just making the P4j smelling OPness with such argumentation.
Then about its timing, if that was a relevant argument then the Ostheer version should be the worst medium tank since its the first hitting the field in any condition.

As much as tank destroyer shouldn't survive if catch off guard, medium tank should have the same treatment, I catch it off-guard and had time to fire 5 times, same issue same outcome should be made.

It can bounce four times in a row because you got very unlucky. IF you reach veterancy three suddenly you never ever bounce on the P4J, which is a tank that the opposition paid a significant markup for.

Timing, incidentally, is definitely part of balancing, though it isnt the only part.

This thread really isnt indicative of a meaningful balance concern.

One could also say "P4 should not be able to repair on the frontline and bounce AP shots in a row. The P4 shouldn't be in a position to be hit by the AT gun".

This is pure bad RNG, but still, that's not an argument that holds water, that these are different scenarios.

The P4 repairing isnt relevant to it bouncing shots/being on the frontline though. It would/could have been taking that fire without the Sturms repairing it, and it would have made no functional difference to the situation. Unless you're suggesting tanks being repaired should have an increased vulnerability to AT fire, though that's a totally seperate subject.

Medium tanks are expected to be on/near the frontlines and to receive fire from AT guns, this interaction is expected throughout the game, in pretty much all medium-based engagements.

Conversely; Tank Destroyers shouldn't be taking return fire from the mediums they're attacking unless you've made a massive mistake. TDs outrange mediums and so they dictate terms. AT guns similarly outrange Mediums.

They're entirely different scenarios even if you're wanting to invent a really contrived reason they aren't.

Show me a map where you're always have max range advantage with your Jackson, except Steppe en 4vs4, there are none, True is map are designed so max range is difficult to use.
P4j have advantage on Sherman, which make the Jackson only reliable counter to P4j. Your examples are about a unit that face a vehicle from a different category and as I stated I'd agree with the situation if I were facing a heavy tank but here it is just the usual medium tank.

And M1 isn't the best Atgun in game and even if, that's doesn't make it an argument since its facing much higher armor.

Which maps are in the rotation that have no access to 41-60 range overlooks? You can use the Jackson's range advantage against a P4 in pretty much any realistic scenario you'd want to.

The P4j isnt an "usual" medium tank. It's the latest-arriving and highest-cost medium going.

The M1 is arguably one of the best AT guns going, the range/vision advantage alone is a massive boon. The main downside of the thing is the constant muni investment. The ZiS and PAK-40 can certainly be argued to be on-par with it though.
