Haha! Great clip. I imagine it wouldn't work as well with a BAR, you would need to get a fair bit closer and pathfinders are fragile at best!

FYI pathfinders have 2 sniper rifles that insta kill one model that has <40% hp (i think?) and two standard rifles so giving pathfinders 2x BARs to boost damage and then finish the rest with sniper rifles is a good idea, IMO they might become better than obers at some point. Thank you Relic for this great feature

I like to give them 1 bar, just in case an lmg drops. At vet3 they are extremely strong with an lmg.

T34/76 is NOT a joke on my hands; Maybe on your hands you make it suck shit? but on me, No. I can kill a stug with a little micro, go toe to toe with a Panzer 4. Is it a joke? LOL T34/85 is apparently a very good tank. But no one says it "one hit wipe" or elefant penetration; up to a point i think this little medium tank just have too much health and too much firepower with that fuel cost.

I always wondered how their sniping works. So what you're saying is that they insta-kill any squad members under 40% hp?

Shrecked pathfinders are also good but only after vet that gives them cloaking, the germans never expect a rocket out of nowhere.

What is the rate of fire on the two sniper rifles (combined)?

According to Coh2-stats.com, (and if i'm reading the data right) one Springfield Sniper Rifle has a cooldown of 0.45-3 seconds, depending on range, plus a reload time of 1-3 seconds.
That gives you between 2.1 and 15 seconds for 4 shots, per rifle.
So, at the (very long) Maximum range of 50, one squad will do 32 shots per minute.

Edit: My numbers are a bit off as I didn't factor in aim times. If anyone can factor that in, you're welcome.

confirmed they are pretty good. if you manage to steal an LMG and have 1 BAR equipped they become deadly at all ranges, retreat model snipes are pretty brutal at Vet 3..
