i dont get it, double snipers just cheese you out and its auto gg, you have nothing in your arsenal to deal with these and they just bleed you dry of MP

the carrier is worthless to even scratch them, and they easily get panzerfausted by grens helping the snipers

My main strategy in the alpha was to just give up at that point.

You could try floating a bit and fast teching to T2 to get out Royal Engineers since they won't bleed as much. I doubt it would be very effective though.

I have yet to play them in 1v1, but based on what I've played so far a buff to the universal carrier's basic gun should do the trick nicely, it shouldn't rape them outright, but it should make such build very risky.

Try fast teching and getting one of your own snipers.
Put him on hold fire, wait til Ost sniper shoots, then shoot him. Rinse and repeat.

Go Vickers in a building, then bren, don't let it get fausted. Push off his only capping squad with the BC. Quick tech to t2, get our royal engies and fast tech to AEC. Get a counter sniper and be patient. Get AEC asap and hope that he doesn't spam 222s. 2 222s plus faust beats AEC, 3 beats it outright. Avoid the sniper and hold at least one vp and look for opportunities to gank the sniper.

Most times you will have to play flawlessly and will still lose. Lelic pls...

Anyone have any success with the Vickers K upgrade on the bren carrier?

I think it's still shit.

I never go a single game without the Vickers K Bren.

It is a fairly good upgrade, allowing your Bren carrier to support your advancing infantry. It chews through infantry in the open, and is fairly resilient to bullets.

The only game I have lost so far was due to connection issues.

Its honestly a crap situation, but hopefully target tables will fix it.

I played a few games 1vs1 vs. Brits tonight and a side note on the Bren Carrier; holy crap can the Wasp upgrade chew through infantry if you aren't quick to move/treat. Not practical for chasing down snipers due to the flame changes this patch but I think the Vickers K upgrade on it suffices if you micro well. Might be worth it to experiment with using the suppression ability to force off screening Grens. I tested it vs. the AI and if you catch a squad with it its close to an insta-pin.

I suppose another option is to try using the Bren carrier as a surprise suicide squad carrier. Load up an IS or Engies and try to exit the vehicle near the sniper and hope RNG is on your side. Seems like not many people use it as a transport and you might catch them off guard.

Yeah rush T2 and use a sniper to countersnipe (risky) or build a UC and upgrade a Vickers K. Alternatively you could pop some Tommies into a UC and bumrush them like no tomorrow.

there honestly is no counter to a single sniper really, provided its protected by a half - competent player. its usually just gg at this point. thanks relic.

Don't worry relic have nerfed their vet 3 bonus, because you know that was totally the problem. It's not like having one third of the brit snipers camo time and instant snap shooting for countersnipes had anything to do with it.

The bren carrier fails to counter when you are up against a horde of grens or even worse Ostruppen. The only chance it has is with the Wasp, which by the time it upgrades is easily countered by a 222.

Brit sniper is wasted MP when it fails so hard when wehr have a straight up better sniper and 6 man ostruppen squads.
