This is not about KT or ISU or IS2 or Pershing. It's about jackson. And yes, it needs a buff, I've been saying this for months. I don't know precisely what kind of buff, but it needs to be more durable or more sharp.

And this brings us back to the original problem, if you buff Jackson Ost cannot use T3. It cannot really use it now but that seems like a bad idea. Without a further "level" Americans will continue to suffer. They need a way to stay in the very late game.

It's a rng machine. I'd welcome more accuracy, higher rate of fire - less damage change. Or something similar.

I had 120 mortar wining games for me and being 400 mp waste. Also is not a good unit on all maps. Sometimes it's better to go for a regular one.

This. Single shots can win games with lucky wipes. But can play for 5-10 minutes with few to no kills. Relic loves RNG and this unit is a good example of that, as well as a larger problem with this game.

I think for its current performance, repair critical is worth at least 50-75 munitions. I might also bump it up to vet 3 since vehicle crews vet up so insanely fast anyway.

Either that or it should take 5 seconds, maybe? there's a fine line between OP and useless on this ability since if they die repairing your enemy gets a free tank.

I'd prefer the higher cost solution since USF will still be able to preserve their fragile tanks, but a panzerfaust or mine will be cheaper than the duct tape.

I don't think changing the vet requirement does much as a single shot from the Sherman gives the crew vet 3. Increasing munitions may help, may be instead remove the crit ability and just increase the rate at which crews repair. If you take just a little damage and there is no back up you can quickly get back in. If you take lots of damage you cannot just jump out, quick repair and scoot away. Since this is a bit of a nerf a slight cost adjustment may be necessary.

Also the loss of target is extremely annoying. I am not saying smoke is fine, smoke is also really stupid, but we should not be here balancing a stupid idea by saying, "His idea is dumb too, so we can keep both."

Any American weapon picked up at the racks can be dropped up.

Do you really want every squad to turn into the pinata that is the Guard squad every time they are shot? By increasing the number of dropped weapons you effectively make each unit a yard sale whenever they die.

I think we know the unit is not functioning properly when you look to one doc to counter. Having said that I do want to stand up for allied players and say without a heavy hitter in the late game axis armor is very difficult to bring down. This is true in larger games, in smaller games (2v2 and 1v1) this unit is stupid strong.

Also it has been a while since I had a chance to use this doc, but as I remember there is no penalty to rotation during reload. As such I never found my B4 in the wrong direction. Place a mine on road, rotate to mine, if tank kill, if pio squad to mine sweep wipe. Now his tank cannot move up because there might be another mine.

Also on larger maps like Steppes there are fewer choke points large battles can drag on allowing B4 to get in position. My best games with B4's were on Steppes. With 2 of them they can hit almost anywhere at any time. Keep KV-1 nearby to prevent tanks and infantry making it through. Plant mines all the time, make it take a long time to walk through your lines.

Also 90 munitions to a wipe a squad is always worth it. Grens will be carrying a 60 munition lmg42 so you are only down -30 munitions. Take that trade all day.

Conversely when they have stuka, its just B4 built, fires once, kills nothing (usually), stuka bomb. GG. Poorly designed unit.

When they first released the B4 I knew this thing was gonna be a nightmare to balance. It plays to RNG like no other artillery.
