Volk, volk, sniper MG seems really popular at my level (10/11/12) and I was wondering the best way to play against it in general as Americans. Advice? I usually do 3 rifles into sniper into MP for AT guns.
Yeah you can do 3 rifle/sniper however if you don't get that counter snipe early, make sure you start opening fire soon enough. If it holds out to long the opponent can start to think wsc is on now on field. To counter it generally these 3 work the best for me which are 2 rifle/jeep, 3 rifle/sniper or 4 rifle(BAR) with a flamer and sweeper.
With the jeep if you harass pios in the early game you can really put pressure on the sniper as it comes out of the Wehrmacht Quarters and not be fearful of mines. Still though its always good to have a sweeper for the jeep.
4 rifle BAR works well to as generally VVSMG wont hold out against a well executed flank unless there is a couple of decent mines down. Just make sure prior to the engagement you keep your rifles hidden from any sniper fire so you can fight the engagement with your full force. If this forces a mass retreat mine up the field asap and you might get lucky and kill the sniper.
Tbh though either 2 rifle/jeep or 4 rifle(BAR), flamer, sweepers are your best option. If the jeep is still on the field and you choke them of fuel well, dont be scared of going for a t2 sniper then work on getting that AT up in case they get out a surprise puma and skip t2.
