Light vehicles vs sniper

The priority of sniper for light vehicles (especially the one with turrets) seem to be low so they will prioritize other targets before firing on snipers.

That should be fixed since one can not drive the vehicle and choose the target with these vehicles which help sniper on retreat.

Huh? Once you gave the vehicle an attack order on the sniper, it won't change target unless it loses line of sight. No matter how many movement orders you give

Only it it stays in range, in any case these unit are meant to counter snipers and thus sniper should have higher priority than other targets

Why do you have to troll and derail every thread? even the ones in the bugs section.

What applies to 222 also applies to m20 so this not an axis/allied thing you can relax...

Yeah, one of the best additions to CoH2.

In CoH1, a movement order (or any order) would make the unit randomly switch its target if multiple enemy units were in weapon range. It was SO annoying!

What was it you said about snipers firing at transports in the chatbox?

Anyway it's not a bug and therefore does not meet criteria to be fixed.

yeah, i don't understand. you have 10k games as allies and 12k games as axis, which imo is a relatively balanced play selection.
