The british sniper fails to kill anything garrisons, whether this is related to the houses i shot at or its a general bug i have failed to kill any models in the last 20 or so shots ive taken.

Houses targeted were the house to the northeast of the cutoff on sem winter
The yellow house on the right of angoville
The white house adjacent to the north east cutoff on angoville.

I know you have a 50% chance to hit not 0, however its not working like that

Word on the street is that you need to attack move or use stop commands for the best effect.

Because he has an anti-tank weapon that could be used on buildings if you just right-click on the building then he does just that: he attacks the building. Instead of the squad inside.

Real dumb.

I've had plenty of success with the British Sniper against buildings (much better than 0%!) and I use a lot of stop commands when I play with a sniper. Give it a shot.

Use stop commands? What do you mean by that?

Yeah you have to use stop.

Attack move won't work consistently either

In a stunning irony, he's actually the best sniper in the game versus Garrisons because he ignores the reduced accuracy you get from it normally.

Ost Sniper:

| | | tp_garrison_cover: {
| | | | accuracy_multiplier: 0.325f;
| | | | damage_multiplier: 1f;
| | | | penetration_multiplier: 1f;
| | | | suppression_multiplier: 0f;


Soviet Sniper:

| | | tp_garrison_cover: {
| | | | accuracy_multiplier: 0.4f;
| | | | damage_multiplier: 1f;
| | | | penetration_multiplier: 1f;
| | | | suppression_multiplier: 0f;


British Sniper:

| | | tp_garrison_cover: {
| | | | accuracy_multiplier: 1f;
| | | | damage_multiplier: 1f;
| | | | penetration_multiplier: 1f;
| | | | suppression_multiplier: 0f;



He also ignores trench cover and emplacement cover.

Interestingly enough suppressing him doesn't reduce his accuracy, ROF, or aim time at all either.


EDIT: Update, chances of hitting unit in building is 65% OH / 80% SU / 100% UKF, used wrong Soviet sniper rifle. Thank you to Chukonoku for the correct that it's .4 instead of .55

I believe getting in range and issuing a stop order. From there, any unit will auto-attack. Sounds as though there's a strange situation where issuing an attack order on a garrison will target the structure they're in, instead of the squad itself.

well, an attack order on a building will always target the building but some weapons at least (small arms) will attack occupants instead.

This explains why my sniper has consistently failed to clear buildings in every game I've played.
