Pls don't play the victim card. It's like you forget that USF was actually the best faction performing during the last tournament and that i already mentioned that if the Jackson hasn't been nerf yet is for the same reasons OH hasn't been buffed yet. Teamgames.

1- The damage went down, but the penetration and RoF got increased heavily. Would you rather be doing damage from 60 range reliable or having to flank tanks with 480 HP to do 240dmg per shot.
The 200dmg model didn't work because the platform it was used had 480HP. That kind of damage model require either heavier pen and/or a heavier platform (i was advocating 200dmg model for PV).

2- I never called anyone a fanboy, so don't bring it up. Anyone can make mistakes, if not we would have never seen Ostwind spam, 7 man conscripts dominating, JLI/Falls, teamgame rushing TA/Tigers requiring hotfix, etc.

3- Yeah, i'm comparing the unit to other TDs but it seems you also missed the part (might had been in another thread) where i said that the Jackson holds the faction in the lategame specially for teamgames.
Which is why i have already consider all the aspects that made the unit useless in the past.
If you start complaining about lacking features, the other 2 allied factions can easily complain as well about all the things USF already has.
Finally the big cats had been nerfed to acceptable levels, specially after losing the 2 shot capabilities and range. One of the reasons you left the Jackson OP.

Therefore the options are:

-You can't reduce HP below 640HP. Anyone who suggest this doesn't remember why it was set in that number in the beginning. It's meant to survive as other tanks 3 shots against super heavy TDs and anything below 560HP means it's not gonna be usable for teamgames.

-Cost. It's in a good spot. You can't realistically just keep increasing it.

-Moving accuracy. If possible i wouldn't touch as part of the whole "faction" feature but that's an option.

-Mobility. It's at the high end of max speed and acceleration. Acceleration was my 2nd option to touch (cause it's easier) with infinite resources and time been available and looking for ways to adjust the main gun my first but that requires more work.

-Turret rotation: i leave the slow traverse to the FF.

-Main gun. My take on this is making the HVAP vet 0 and a toggleable munition just like with the Sherman. Then make the main gun get 50 range reduce pen slightly higher RoF and the HVAP stays as slower RoF, 200 dmg and high Pen.

The entire unit needs to be redesigned into the Stormtroopers/Commandos mold.

Renamed to Airborne Riflemen
Cost decreased to 300mp
Deploy from buildings with 6 Guards mosin nagant rifles.
Can upgrade to 6 PPSH smgs for 60 munitions.
Elite camouflage
Smoke grenade
Slightly decrease arrival time of vet 1 pin strafe.
Remove tactical advance

Why would you ever replace GUARD mosins nagants at all hmmmm....

You're talking about nerfing its acceleration, if the player doesn't know how to stop before fire I can't help here.

Then again I'm not sure why a generalist medium tank that cost less and is already on the top food chain vs other generalist medium tanks should have a fair % of chance to take down a more expensive specialist tank destroyer.
Even enlarging the big picture to all Ostheer vs USF late game roaster, there is only one other unit that can go toes to toes with late game Ostheer and that's the Pershing.

Jackson being THE superior TD is a lie since the Jackson and Panther matchup is balanced and this is what matter today. People complain that their Pz4's windows of opportunity is reduced, well that's the same problem for everyone using medium tanks. Fixing Heavy tank problem is a first step but Jackson is still going to be there even if you nerf heavy tanks to oblivion because Panthers are here and from what we see in this patch, they're going to be even more here.

Because it's not about making the Jackson been weaker towards mediums or whatever but giving it a clear weakness compared to the whole roster of TDs. Heavy meta been a problem is not the only issue with Jackson. The mod team already acknowledge that the Jackson was OP but just gave it a +5fuel increase as a token nerf which accomplish nothing.
USF is overperforming on 1v1 but touching the Jackson is scary for those in the mod team who plays teamgames as we know that Jackson holds the faction on those modes. It's the same as applying buffs to OH because on 1v1 they are a on the weaker side but they are doing "fine" on teamgames.

Su76, Stug, JPIV, Su85, FF have clear weakness. Be it casemate, mobility, low penetration, HP, damage, RoF, turret rotation. The PV here been the oddball been a tank hunter limited by 50 range and excessive cost.

Look, the Jackson was BAD in the past, but it got plenty of buffs through different patch cycles. MAYBE it's time to rollback some of them.

Show Spoiler

And we should have one again. And actually the Ostwind power level should be lowered to around 280/90. The unit has very little reason to be more expensive than T-34/76.

I'm saying that even with mediums going around and been meta, Su76 did not see much use.
Main selling point was free barrage and high pen. That even if it had lower damage, you would just spam them in pairs or more so it wouldn't had made much difference than going for an Su85. Then you would just get a Call in vehicle.

Nowadays the barrage cost munition, it's getting properly nerfed, the pen and RoF went down. SU no longer is free muni and it requires T4 for upgrades and Call ins.
Why would anyone spend fuel instead of just getting a more reliable Zis Gun.

It will see more action if the medium tank phase of the game actually starts to exist.

Currently there is little reason to build mediums tanks and thus even less to built medium TDs...

We had a medium tank phase before Heavy apocalypse, specially during Ostwind buff.
