to start off, let's explain the recloak mechanic for the ost and sov snipers.

A sniper's recloak time increase each time he takes a shot, up to a maximum of 20 seconds.

For an ost sniper, the recloak time is 2s/4s/8s/16/20s

for the sov sniper, the recloak time is 3s/6s/12s/20s

for the brit sniper, the recloak time is 6s/12s/20s

the british sniper takes too long to recloak after one shot. 6 seconds is enough time for the axis to either focus fire him or simply snipe him. The british sniper needs the same recloak time as the ost sniper, seeing as how they are both one man squad.

It takes as much to aim and shoot as well.

Its free kill for ost sniper, so no sniper wars here for ost sniper apologists.

This sniper is soooo strong. Damn.
It's hard to kill it and it's a sick unit. Needs less babysitting than the other snipers. Also, it took a mortar to the face and didn't die.

How does the recloak timer work ?
Does it only go up if you keep shooting without moving ?
Does moving an inch after each shot reset it or what ?

The Brit Sniper is absolutely incredible. He is way more durable than the Ost sniper, and does th most damage per shot of any unit in the game I think.

The brits got a Sniper who can dmg the engine of every light vehicle and stun the main gunner of a tank and you are complaining about his cloak timer???

Every Sniper has his Pros and Cons. And this sniper is currently balanced IMO.

Just my experience thus far.

Meanwhile some facts:

Brit and ost sniper have exactly the same hp, but brit sniper have 300% worse camo and much slower rof.
Snipers always kill infantry with one shot, so damage is irrelevant.
Brit sniper does 40 damage to vahicles, same as PTRS, but shoots 300% slower then it.

the british sniper have the exact same hp and size as the ost sniper. 82 hp with size 1.

Maybe people are just not used to firing at ost sniper considering the ost sniper have predator cloak.

the british sniper is also the overall slowest firing sniper, even slower than the soviet sniper mind you.

there's no sniper war because the british sniper get curbstomped in under 6 seconds.

I can live without being able to cloak fast personally. I've got that nifty hold fire button to use. Once the Ostheer Sniper fires a couple of shots (Taking longer to cloak after each shot), I order my Sniper to fire his first shot to take him out. Just wish Reinforcement costs didn't hurt so much...

But in the end, I don't recruit him to take out snipers. He performs very well for other targets like AT guns, flak guns, mortars and MGs. My favourite unit so far.

Question: Does he have the same range as other snipers? For some reason, it feels longer.
