222 is great now. guards can't be everywhere and they have a shorter range. As soviet one of the main things that impacts how I play early game is 222s. Without them infantry has a much freer roam of the map. Exactly the same for soviet SC but the German one has more DPS.

If you are struggling vs sniper, just use ger sniper, hold fire and only counter snipe after theirs fires, they will retreat and takes ages to reinforce plus high cost. You can snipe in the mean time and then repeat. Forcing them to be more cautious.

Definetly this! Stop trying to chase down snipers. Grens are really good at long range. Just stop and focus fire on them and they will die really quick. The german sniper will never be the counter to the soviet sniper, mass grens and flanks are your best solutions.

And as for the guards-sniper strategy, when using a scout car don't lead with it. Use your infantry to focus on the guards not the sniper. Rifle-nades help too. If you can force a retreat on the guards the snipers have nothing to protect them and then your scout car has free reign. It takes more then one unit to counter more then one unitand T1 has no crowd control. Large well cordinated frontal pushes can be extremely powerful vs T1 strats.

I'm pretty sure the German sniper re-cloaks faster than the soviet one can fire back (provided its in cover and the soviet one has just fired). So you then force the remaining one man to retreat.. Or possibly just hold fire, which isn't a problem if you continue to hold fire.

If he does retreat, then that's time off the field and manpower. Even if u don't kill it, the idea is to neutralise its impact. Then once you have the vet ability, try to use that.
