and the same goes for every other sniper (or generally high value target, while we're at it). not a problem of the sniper itself.

I agree with the above statement. While I think that snipers are a silly unit, just like the AVRE and Sturmtiger are silly units, I feel that the marksmans units(jaegers and pathfinders) are what the sniper units should have been.

With regard to balance of the snipers, the OST sniper is the most difficult to kill and the one with the best aim time, the best armor or received accuracy, or whatever makes the OST sniper so durable. I've seen an OST sniper being completely swarmed by riflemen while retreating and still surviving, while the UKF/SU sniper seldomly survives encounters with axis infantry. I have even tried chasing down the ost sniper with all of the dedicated light vehicle counters and the snipers still survive, while my light vehicle got fausted then killed, or outright being one-shottet by a raketen that the OST players teammate had build. Killing OST snipers out of positions is simply too difficult.

except for the british sniper.

Could be axis inf excell at long range (except usf lmg?).
I think they have the same defensive stats on paper

exactly. he can snare the light vehicle himself and/or kill it, especially with the help of an at gun.

british sniper doesn't have snare by default. There's a difference between having a faust effectively by default and needing a vet 1 on a 360 mp unit for snare.

...or having a sniper that can outright kill light vehicles himself.

again you saying things that are not specific. In final part was there a game when sov player faced a sniper and won it? I dont think there was single game. Majority of those games surely OH won without any counterplay.

It does have the same HP as ost sniper.

What it doesn't have is the amazing RoF vet ost one does.
But looking at UKF ones vet, it almost seems like relic really wanted it to actually fight armor instead of being gimmicky crit shot unit.

The bolded names indicate the winner. In the finals the highlighted bold name indicates winner.

you call me retard and post picture that doesnt even show factions played . Who is retard then. Or you just make conclusions out of ass and post meaningless stuff as a prove? Lol

Yes snipers are bad. But what is worse is ostheer sniper ability.

Remember , they removed soviet sniper ability for a reason (sprint)

Oshteer one can force squad so retreat with his ability , and what is worse it have 100% chance to kill retreating squads so bye bye last mode retreating to safety , incendiary round is ready for you

Plus, ost sniper can still get sprint through doctrine

Jump back to quoted post5 Jan 2016, 12:15 PM__deleted__

And why you need sprint from puddingy doctrine when you can have much better doctrine and still better vet 1 than sprint

Right now lelic claims that batshitOP ostheer have 0,577 winrate. And soviets with all garbage and expensive units and tiers 0,74.
Since when they started to lie in that blatant way?
If theoreticaly their stats arent lie then its just a meaningless data. But its more likely to be lie.

However, Luvnest and Cruzz both attempted to use Ostheer snipers vs Barton's soviet sniper in the Semi and Quarter-finals and lost (neither german sniper survived their games, whereas the soviet sniper did).
