So, as of today the British 50.cal sniper will no longer have the arty strike ability, needs vet 1 to critical shot, and can longer damage engines. I mean that really was the bread and butter of the sniper, the whole purpose and reason to spend 360 mp. Why can't we just have it on the relatively same level as the ostheer sniper? Fine, nerf its AT to the ground, but at least increase rate of fire, or make it more tanky, give us some reason to use.

... is to snipe models.

On top of that, the brit sniper can still damage vehicles and block their turrets.

He's also exactly as tanky as the German one.

Very nice, however the damage to vehicles is strange, and miniscule, and blocking their turrets doesn't really help if your versing a stug, then it stuns it for like 5 seconds. I see it as the strangest and most unnecessary assortment of strengths, Light anti-vehicle, and reduced AI?

Wait, they REMOVED IT?

I thought they just made it a default ability and made the vet1 abiltiy Critical Shot.

So did I. I hope the OP has just made a mistake, because otherwise the balancing has another BS on it's list

Oh look ANOTHER brand new user bitching about things without reading carefully.

"Coordinated Fire ability requirements removed"


The veterancy requirement for Coordinated Barrage was removed... as in you can now use it at vet 1.

Edit: oh crap I got beat to it while posting.

It is silly though, the sniper is now far what it was advertised as in the British unit revelations video.

You would rather have OP units that stick to their original release stats than have better game balance? :guyokay:

I don't mind balancing, i'm just not a fan of removing the main unique roles of units. Is the UKF Sniper just going to be yet another Allies unit with overall stats and usability worse than the Axis counterpart? :(

They could have at least left the damage engine ability as Vet1, or something with ammo.. :/

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
