what do you guys do to counter the sowjet sniper?
especially when the snipers are paired up with some sort of at, i have problems (and my enemies, when i play sowjets) to counter this. german sniper is very risky and doesnt pay off in most of the cases, scoutcar is either killed by one mine, or by su85/pak supporting the snipers.
the moment my sniperteam has vet 1 (sprint ability, i mean, cmon relic, you know better!) and i have some sort of at out, i have won the game.
and yes, this is 1v1.

Mortar is your best bet

i could work sometimes, but a half decent player, will move his squad, and your mortar will not liekyl be able to kill two guys at once!

1. scout car vet 1 ability is your best friend. know where snipers are.

2. 2 gren (or more if you have em) squads must move forward at sniper, once within range, rifle nade the sniper, or even a bit behind him.

Mortar - try to predict where he will run compared to how long it will take until the mortar impact. even if you only get 1 of them, you are pretty certain he will back away if not retreat.

Yes it can. It happened to my snipers yesterday while on the move and I got so angry. Snipers are often victims of random tragedies.

SHOUT IT OUT!

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

Osinyagov: Suddenly, coh2 is slowly dying, but you can play it, playerbase still big enough

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

dasheepeh: it was an honor guys

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

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.
