If fuel upkeep is added medium tanks need to be buffed and actually feel like tanks, without everything penetrating them constantly.

Some more food for thought, for those saying that the Jackson being unreliable against heavies:

The Jackson has a 53.33% chance to penetrate the frontal armor of a Tiger at the max range of 60, assuming no vet 1 ability popped.

The Panther has 58.66% chance to penetrate the frontal armor of an IS-2 at the max range of 50.

Yet I never hear complaints of the Panther being unreliable against Soviet heavy armor despite extremely similar chances to actually penetrate enemy heavy armor. Additionally the Panther has a longer reload time and a more punishing moving accuracy penalty nor the fact that it takes the Panther 7 penetrating shots to kill an IS-2 but it only takes a Jackson 5 penetrating shots to kill a Tiger. And the Panther is more expensive.

Are you seriously comparing the Panther and the Jackson? No one whines about the Panther for 2 simple reasons (and these are also the reasons why this comparison is extremely dumb),

The panther doesn't have to bite and run in fear of any sort of AT destroying it for a minor slip, it can stay a lot more in the fight and at closer ranges if extra at isn't around, more shots will be fired, on the other hand the Jackson will get one shot off before the enemy goes behind a building or the jackson is forced to retreat most of the time, if that shot doesn't penetrate or misses or hits god knows what it's a much bigger deal than a failed shot of a panther.

Now the second one, are we seriously going to compare the one and only engagement where a Panther can get its shot deflected (against an IS2) to Jackson and Axis heavies? I'm not going to say it's rare to face an IS-2 but it's much more uncommon than seeing the inevitable Axis heavy or panther, an axis player will not have to always face an IS-2, most of the time it will be the usual t34-85, on the other hand a USF player will always face the inevitable Tiger/Panther supported by the usual schreck screen, paks or both.

I literally couldn't care less for the extra damage when the thing doesn't penetrate, I don't get a Jackson to fight medium tanks, I get it to fight things a sherman can't fight and then my dedicated, super squishy 90mm tank destroyer can't penetrate half of the time, it can't do what it's supposed to do and can't kill infantry either.

If I wanted to destroy a medium tank I would get a Sherman not a goddman thing that is useless against infantry once it accomplishes (if only) its job.

It has been pointed out countless times already, it's not like we can force relic, write an email or something

Uh, it's really not less expensive at all, it's very fuel heavy if you use conversion. (assuming you're using Close Air Support doctrine.)

The SU-85 would have been flanked by a goddamn tiger to begin with, not to mention that the thing made zero attempts to try and escape after the flares were cast, sticking close to the rear of the IS-2 up until it was hit by the JU-87.


It was bad play on the Allied player's part and the Stuka is just as easily avoided as a P47 Mustang Rocket Launch. If you use it and catch your opponent off guard, it'll work with deadly efficiency. Besides that the P47's can outright kill tanks on single passes. This Stuka left the tanks hit with enough HP to be hit by tigers, panthers, and ATG's at least two or more times before death.

Lol,

Yeah let's just completely disregard the fact that it doesn't only hit vehicles, easily avoided? Did you even see how the sherman was strafed? No smoke or anything, just the plane coming from outside the map at incredible speed, no visual feedback from the shells exploding just the sherman being shredded, the P47 can't even achieve that sort of damage even when standing still given how only a single rocked will hit at a time.
