See how top players are using Jacksons. Watch some replays and try to utilize the same tactics. This should help you if you're struggling to use this unit correctly.

I understand how they are meant to be used. It doesn't change the fact that I think they are way to unforgiving to use compared to the options other factions have.

If you want Jackson replaced than beg Relic so they implement this into the game but I wouldn't keep my hopes high as the idea of Pershing soaking the damage, followed by Jackson doing the damage from the second line gives me the nightmares.

I don't want the Jackson replaced. I just want it in a state where it is as usable as the heavy tanks other factions have. At the moment it just plain isn't. Maybe it is on paper, but in reality it is way, way too hard to use effectively compared to the heavy tanks other factions have.

Wow, never noticed something that bad. Nice video spajn, they really need to look at that.

In before CieZ comes and reinsures us that the Jackson is in fact god tier OP lol :-)

I did the following test:

SC2: Connect to the US East SC2 server, play a 1v1, record command latency with fraps.
COH2: Connect to the US battle server, play a 1v1, record command latency with fraps.

By counting frames, from a command is given until your unit reacts, you can calculate the command latency in milliseconds.

First observation: Both games have higher latency than the actual server ping.

Second observation: COH2 command latency is the double of the SC2 latency. This is for equivalent pings to US servers.

(SC2/COH2 pings: 150ms, SC2 latency: 250ms, COH2 latency: 500ms)

Conclusion: There is something in Relic's net code that provides a less than optimal command latency, far higher than what should be possible under exact same conditions and server structure (SC2). To sum up, Relic needs to take a look at their net code. Of course, local servers would also be likely to help, but might be too expensive given the popularity of the game.

(note 1: I did the tests from Europe, but I am sure that this should even affect US players. SEA/AUS players should be even worse off.)

(note 2: In case you're wondering about singleplayer, I recorded less than 10ms of command latency)
