Brit Sniper shouldn't be able to Crit 222's engine

It takes two engagements vs tommies to vet puma to vet1.

Tommies grant a lot of exp.
I did it myself.
You can ask FaHu
Vet1 Puma is legit brit sniper hardcounter despite it being primarly AT vehicle and AT sniper in theory its natural hardcounter.

ok so 2 engagements with no at nearby, fine.
but you will agree that the opponent will be aware of the puma vet 1 and thus play very conservative ( if he has half a brain)? and you cant just drive up to a sniper if he starts to play safe when u hit vet 1.

Do you know that the puma can shoot and see farther than the brit sniper? The brit sniper wont even see the puma and the puma can already shoot at it.

100% true. but your theory works only if the sniper is playing frontline 1 army tank soldier. any player better than a crippled cockroach will have alteast 1 infantry squad infront of the sniper thus negating the superior range. aw and remember, if the ukf donest have a 6pdr out till puma with vet 1 arrives ( got a nice 50% acc bonus for these fast light vehicles !) its a comp stomp anyway.

At your 1000+ rating people are truly amazing players. They never make mistakes and luring enemy snipers is impossible. Good thing that at my level of play baiting snipers is still a valid strategy.


Truly, i don't know how to help you.

probably will be nerfed anyway like all the other issues which were adressed in the last patches with ukf and most of the members defended them to be fine

I don't see OkW having anything near a good sniper counter (nor USF for that matter).

fine, my arguments are invalid because of my personal skill.

Oh don't worry. I have a feeling USF will have its own sniper in one of the two new commanders coming after this patch if this leak is right:

Your arguments are invalid is because they defy any common sense whatsover. The puma is a good counter to a british sniper. It is foolish to deny it. You refuse to agree that you need to buy specific units in order to counter a sniper and continue lamenting on with your nonsense.

I deny it, for the puma is not valid counter in any half-decent competitve 1vs1 match for reasons stated prior (in a post you seem to have missed for some reason).

well you should use the ostheer sniper and his 420 blaze it quick-scoping to counter the brit sniper not the 222.


and in my expierence the kubel kills the brit sniper in a burst to a burst in a half at worst,maybe 2 bursts even on the move.....just stop to fire a burst or two

like the brit sniper sometimes will die to a kubel before it even gets into "supress" mode

and firing crit shots at a kubel continiously is completely pointless,45 munitions so a sturmpio can repair it in 6 seconds?

And no, the british sniper probably won't be nerfed. Because unlike the centaur or other similar stuff, it actually is not overpowered.

Yeah, because brits have so easy access to AT early game.
If you go for sniper early, you won't be able to pump ATG as fast, if you go ATG first, volks swarm will jsut get in melee and do the job, there is still puma smoke to save your ass.

As Zarok reminded me, only downside to that would be Centaur rush, but things might look differently post patch.
