You know how we can prevent rifle nade wipes?

1: When capturing territory, don't click on the point. Your men literally stand on top of each other. A full 6-man squad will die.

2: Give conscripts 8 men kappa

I like playing with Alex. I don't think we should be mean to him for having often differing opinions than many of us.

All the hate makes us all look like assholes, and we don't want to be assholes, do we?

M36 Jackson is not over performing.


It has a long range because it's a TD and got a damage reduction and a pen buff to make it more reliable against heavy armor.

The panther is the biggest loser here, as stated before, because the amount of shots to kill it has remained the same while the pen has been increased, but that means Ostheer T3 is a bit more forgiving against Jacksons. Praise Jesus.

A vetted JP4 will beat a Jackson because of the JP4's camo.

If you want to try to 1v1 your JP4 at vet 0 with a Jackson, be my guest, but the point of the JP4 is to use it behind a schreck and/or raketen screen, to minimize damage taken, to minimize the potential for flanking maneuvers, and, with vet, to surprise the enemy.

If anything, JP4 camo should be nerfed. Being able to camo after in combat? Gimme a break Relic. Same thing with Pathfinders/Fallschirmjägers.

I think this settles the argument?


If Jackson had the same gun profile as it does but had the same health and armor as an IS2, that'd be OP, but it doesn't. It needs range and mobility to stay safe from AT fire. Blitzing at a Jackson can still work. The issue there is that, in 1v1, there often times isn't an AT gun if you don't go Airborne and go for a LT. As was stated earlier, zooks sacrifice AI (something USF players really need against OKW) and 120 muni for mediocre weapons. So, therefore, that increases the chances of the axis player's P4 or P5 escaping after rushing a Jackson.
Pray for M20 mine?

It would be nice if all factions had a TM-35 type of mine. I would be so happy. They're the best kinds of mines because they will hit any target.


Jackson is not over performing. Jackson is not OP. Like any unit, it is deadly in a skilled player. Remember Cataclaw's M3 cars? OMGPOP's M3s? The Barton M5? I've learned that one must be patient and wait for the enemy to make a mistake with their micro. Or to offer a trap for the enemy.

Edit: to address OP's issue about hopping out to repair the crits, that's great, really.

The vehicle crew needs Vet 1 to do that, and if you lay a teller mine within range of your forces, you can often prevent the crew from exiting. MG42 plus Pak plus gren behind a teller? dead Jackson. Squads can't recrew vehicles or weapons when suppressed.

Can someone please fix the spelling of this stupid thread?

Thanks.

As far as I'm aware. I think they only thing they've announced publicly is that next patch will contain the "mysterious" new faction. The invites for the alpha to test said "mysterious" faction will be the 28th, with the alpha opening up sometime after that.

I assume at least some balance changes will come through when the new faction goes live? But who knows. Maybe not. I don't think they've confirmed anything aside from Brits... I mean, new faction... yeah.

Edit: For clarification, and so that this post doesn't get invis'd no one from Relic or otherwise has said anything specific about which faction they're adding... but we all know it's Brits.

Ciez, you're certain that alpha invites are going out on the 28th? I thought I remembered reading it was supposed to be today... but went looking earlier and couldn't find where I saw that date.


In a general note, I would also assume that the new faction is coming out at the end of June, just like WFA and CoH 2 launch. If they're doing a beta for the month of May, that would make sense. One month to tweak; maybe a month of open beta in June just like what Relic did for CoH 2's launch.

I would also assume that Relic is going to hold off on current balancing patches in preparation for the new faction and try to hurl all of the balance changes on us in one lump sum.
