Hi guys,

I'm actually new in the Ostheer business, after playing Ostheer quite a lot during the alpha cuz everybody wanted to play "NDA", I decided to play the faction a bit more.

Just wanted to know your BO with a sniper start and maybe some more tips around it.

I have try 1xPio into sniper and 2xpio into sniper with good and bad results. After the sniper, better a volks or a Mg42, sniper + MG42 + pio is a good combo imo, it was working well in the 2xpio start but looking at my Ostheer rank, maybe it is not going to work further

Grens are the safest choice, as they can shield the sniper from light vehicles with faust, one squad of assgrens is also good for guarding its flank from charging units.
The important thing in early game with sniper is not overextending.

Yes a fast clown car is probably the most dangerous counter.

Try Prostruppen:
- cheap (makes up for less map control because of going sniper first)
- 6 models (meatshield)
- faust carrier (protetion against M3A1)
- you have exactly 200 MP when sniper is built
- good at crewing team weapons

Can't say anything about 1v1, but it worked for me several times in 4v4, a mode not about capping, but about brute force, so prostruppen have less value and sniper have more.

Also, build no more than 2 squads of prostruppen!

Don't have the commander but thank for the info.

2 grens, 1 HMG and Sniper into T2 AC + teller could work.

Depending of the map, I do

1x pio
1x sniper
1x gren
1x mg
1x gren

And I keep all of them really close to cover each other.

or the same with 2x pio to cap faster.

Actually I'm playing a really low level, not sure if it will still work in the future
