+1 its funny everyone is ignoring this post by a top tier player. OP may be trying to just spam grens, however, t1 soviets is insanely strong. Penals are awesome, snipers are awesome, and clown is awesome with flamer in it. where as t1 germans, grens are awesome, mortars are only if sovs went t2, the mg is meh, usually dies from penal flank. bunkers are crap against t1. german snipers are a waste of mp.

He sux with his sniper?

Ummm no if the Russian sniper had only one man he would be absolutely fuckin worthless and would be effectively removed from the game because the German faction has so much better sniper hunter(222) and also a far superior sniper.

Most you guys seriously don't have a fucking clue and speal clueless shit based on your clueless shit play I know its the truth. It really bothers me.... see Im all worked up.

Funny, my shitty play was more than enough to kick your ass as Soviets last night, shall I post the replay? You can also enjoy your own stream starting on 34:30: http://www.twitch.tv/freshkillpsycho/b/525996516. Theres no need to be so agressive.

Some adjustments would obviously need to be made, Im just saying that this concept of no possible decisive counter-sniping for one side is flawed.

Oh I remember you, I gave your third 1v1 Soviet lost game

There is always win and lose anyway, there is no need using it attacking other people.

For 1v1:
1 man sniper or 2 man sniper teams wouldn't change much because good players will always keep them safe from harm.

The way to counter snipers is not to kill them necessarily but to make it hard for them to operate. Focus on countering the supporting troops and the snipers will be forced to hide.

The biggest mistake you can make is to dive in after them.

Don't think he said that, and you'd be hard pressed to find many who would agree with that sentiment

Ostheer sniper has his perks and on the more open maps is a very viable unit choice, but between sprint and 2 man sniper squads, the Soviet one imo is the easier to use.

Not complaining mind you, its just the way things are from a design point.

So if this was so obvious, why have you chosen to use bad sniper player as example of how weak it apparently is?
Show an example of someone who uses snipers constantly, is top player and fails more often then not if you want to make a valid point.

Unless you wanted to go for "driver is bad, therefore the car is bad" approach, which you apparently did.

He fires faster, cloaks faster, doesn't have to as close to the cover as the russian sniper. How is that not superior? But ur right Daniel didn't say that, he pointed out the exact reasons I find German sniper superior and I said it.

Oh yeah and also forgot to mention once you get the vet ability the the extra man on the Soviet sniper just became null and void as the incendiary round guarantees you kill both one shot. So there truly is no argument against German sniper superiority once vet is achieved.

People your leaving your German sniper in the open, your trying to a move at Russian snipers out of cover, God I see this all the time. U get Germ snipe in position and bait Russian shot and nail him , you will cloak long before he can shoot again. Lots of times (without vet) ill still get both n one go cause Russian snipers don't fear the counter snipe and are not in cover and if the knee jerk retreat you have a chance to get second shot that way if u r close enough.

Another tip if you reveal and immediately hear a mortar shell don't fuck around just retreat. Mortar shells seem to home in on snipers, he'll live a lot longer

i have times where i had my sniper in full cover and shot at a russian one. b4 he got back into cover, he was countersniped. i have sunk in few incendiary rounds into sniper and from what i recall, all of which only killed one. more oftenly, the russian sniper disappeared back into cover before finishing the whole incendiary process, which requires reloading b4 even aiming, not to mention its costliness. also the counterpartner russian flare at vet 0 lasts longer than it takes it to recharge, revealing a large radius of enemy defenses without recon plane that may get shot down. the whole sprint-away-and-shoot thing is faster and easier than to sink in an incendiary round in, due to which russian units CAN still move while being stunned. the sprint away can also tactically retreat russian sniper into a herd of cuntscripts without having to fully retreat into base.

Its simple :dont use the your own sniper to counter the soviet one . The last patch the soviet sniper took a beating when it comes to its effectiveness. not only can the soviet sniper no longer hide in a scout car the overall dps of the grens at long range is now so high that they can easily kill a soviet sniper at long range. combine this with the buffs to the scout car 222 i dont see why your complaining about the soviet one.

In fact the german sniper is just sexy this patch. it doesnt have the impact that the soviet sniper has that it forces squads to retreat but properly managed they are just a massive mp drain to the soviets and snipers with 70 kills are not uncommon.
