their target size needs to be increased. Even the American rifleman have trouble killing a sniper on retreat.

If the snipers' HP are to remain at 82 hp, then their target size should be increased to make them more vulnerable to small arms.

Snipers are fine, have you seen what happens to them when a squad with bars/M191 looks at them? They get vaporized, even at long range.

If you increase their squad size they will become useless in mid/late game when weapon upgrades start getting used.

Yeah they might be annoying in the early game when rifles can't easily kill them but that's why you have M20/UC/M3/222/Kubel etc.

The pretty often retreat through 2 squads unscratched, at least wehr sniper famous for that :S

But mostly they are fine, sniper hell maps like crossing in 2v2s is problem, not the unit.

The vetereancy fix will be a huge buff to killing snipers. Snipers get no increased received accuracy or anything with vet.

I've seen Ostheer snipers pull off some serious James Bond / Rambo things where they seem to never get hit.

Have not yet seen it with the Brit sniper, but then again, the Brits have not been out that long.

I find it strange that the Soviet team is a little more fragile, but I suppose it works.

Either way, pretty interesting stuff, thank you.

I often get sniped by paks and pumas when using a Brit sniper. Along with shreks. I thought they had like super low accuracy so the couple times that it happened to me were always a surprise.

If your sniper was hugging green cover and the atg shot came from the point not covered by the green cover, it actually happens alot since the shot hits the green cover and splash damages your sniper.
I managed to kill an ally's sniper team this way...

Increase rec. acc.

Today, I saw OST sniper, rushed with Bren through the bushes and found him perfectly in front of bren at point blank. First salvo took like 1/8hp, he retreated, I chased him for like 1/4 of the map - survived :|

Yeah, sniper counters (M20, 222, Bren, Kubel, Soviet Scout Car) need to be made merciless.

All snipers are OP, though the Soviet one is the most balanced.

I completely agree, there should be no get out of jail card for snipers. If they are being hit on the retreat then a wipe should be very likely.

Those Wehr snipers can dodge roulette shots straight to the head.

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:

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.
