Played some games with UKF yesterday and recognized that UKF snipers cant/barely hit anything in buildings.

~~iirc, should have a 50% chance to hit, like the ostheer sniper. Maybe you just have bad luck.~~
I'm dumb, it's actually 100% for the British sniper. 65% for Ostheer's and 80% for Soviets'.

A direct attack-order for the UKF sniper against a garrisoned unit has him target the building, unfortunately. There is a workaround though - putting him in range of the garrisoned building and no other enemy units while not holding fire will have him automatically shoot at the garrisoned squad and he will actually hit the soldiers inside of the building.

actually, you might want to look up whether the brit sniper is supposed to be hitting 100% of its shots vs. garrisoned units, since the other snipers don't.

This. I always attack move when wanting to target garrisoned units - it seems to actually kill a model 100% of the time when this is done.

Are you attacking or ordering the sniper to 'stop'?

You can see it at the start of the video. I a moved next to the fence but the sniper didnt want to shoot(surpression) So i ordered him to walk to the wreck and right clicked at the mg to attack.
