The Jackson is, for some wildly incomprehensible reason, looks like it's on the Wovlerine's chassis. It's one of the most expensive tanks in the game and goes down in three hits from an AT Gun and doesn't penetrate armour half the time.

If the maps were decently designed to allow for rapid maneuver of tanks and to allow them to flank and get behind other tanks easily before swiftly moving out of range(i.e. actual harassment) then this might not be a problem.

But the maps are not designed like that. They're designed with choke points and pathblockers which makes microing one of these things in a way that makes it work as it looks like it was meant to be designed, effectively impossible. This is already a big problem in 1v1 games to start with, it is dramatically exacerbated in team games where there is much more firepower on the field.

It needs an armour buff. It's paper thin, and while I hate to resort to the "realism" argument, the kind of fuck up Relic has done here is on par with making a Luchs as durable as a Tiger. The Jackson has much, much, much better armour - arguably on par with a Tiger I. So it's baffling to me that it's one of the weakest tanks in the game in that regard.

Do you even play this game? The Jackson is not even close to being one of the most expensive tanks... it isn't even the most expensive usf tank. Also AT guns should excel against tank destroyers because you know... that's the hard counter and stuff... the Jackson is really, really, really good. It baffles me that people actually think this tank needs a buff. Yes fix its targeting priority because TDs have no business shooting inf and this would be a quality of life change for all TDs in the game, but there is no way in hell that the Jackson needs an actual performance, health or armor increase.

Issue an attack command on the abandoned vehicle.

In terms of normal AT accuracy it depends on a complex relationship between accuracy, target size, distance and to a lesser extent scatter. Maybe some other stuff too

A few people requested that I do a video guide on playing against Soviets as OKW. I'll admit that this is probably the hardest match up in the game for the OKW. Soviet is a lot more unpredictable than USF, and their assortment of late game armor is much broader - meaning you can't always rely on Schrecks/Puma to keep tanks at bay. Not to mention Snipers and/or Maxims being huge headaches.



Anyways, in the game I just use my general Puma opener, except I skip the second MG34 since I'm facing T1 and MG34s are not useful against snipers. The mid game transitions against Soviet are a lot different than USF, and the late game is even more different.

General tips for playing against Soviet:
Scout their base (or look into the fog) to determine whether they're going T1 or T2. Healing truck is good against T2 because of IGs, while Repair truck is good against T1 because of 251 Flak and/or Puma (T1 lacks hard AT). Volks are surprisingly strong against Cons, this plus Sturms tends to deter Soviet players from making Cons in excess of 3. If you are up against Con spam (4-5+ Cons) you should be able to hold out with your Volks/Sturms + MG34s until they choose a tech path - or you could grab a 251 Flak to punish their lack of tech.

Hopefully you guys enjoy the video and learn some things from it. I'll probably try to make a follow-up video when I get back from my vacation going over how to counter a T2 opener.

Assuming perfect play in 1v1, Ostheer is probably the strongest faction because of how crazy good their weapon teams are and how amazingly their grens scale. Plus the tiger... jeez the tiger.

Interestingly enough in 2v2 allies are probably strongest assuming perfect play.

test - don't bother downloading, replay is from an old patch. Just wanted to see if the parser could grab the chat log from old replays.

Well, if you want to see some funny Eva rage you can read the log xD
