Thread: German sniper survivability24 Oct 2013, 12:10 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2013, 08:56 AMStephennJF In terms of the snipers being able to be resistant against mortar fire I completely disagree. Arty or tank rush is the prime method in which I lose my Ostheer snipers. You remove this option from the Soviet player what else have they got to do when this unit is in the hands of a good player? If you believe your sniper will be targeted by in-direct fire it is time to be more conservative with it, keep it by itself to avoid it becoming collateral damage and aim to remove the in-direct fire threat. I personally have no problems with my sniper and get it the majority of my games. In 2v2 there is nearly no room to do so. Your sniper is either shooting aka near the battle or standing far away aka useless. Most of the maps are so small (nearly all exp Moscow tbh) and concentration of deadly units and arty so high that you have no other choice: either use him and risk getting killed by one shell or let him in your base.

Thread: German sniper survivability24 Oct 2013, 12:03 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2013, 05:03 AMJohanSchwarz I believe in another thread it was stated that Zis, Pak, and Su-85 have a 10% chance of sniping an infantry model. If this value is true then I am the most unlucky sniper user ever. It is rare if you manage to snipe whole Zis crew (if your enemy let you fire 6x) cuz most of the time Zis will kill the sniper. Also Su-85 with scopes = dead sniper if he jumps out of cover or shoot at the enemy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German sniper survivability22 Oct 2013, 07:46 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Oct 2013, 07:35 AMNullist The increased RoF related to range is also retarded and should be the inverse of what it currently is, meaning it shoots faster at longer ranges, and slower at close. Thx for reminding me. The RoF at long range is absurd. It is not possible to snipe the Zis crew for example if he is reinforcing from M5 (most of the time sniper will get one shotted by Zis anyway).

Thread: German sniper survivability22 Oct 2013, 07:21 AM I play only team games (95% 2v2) and I since the last MG nerf I stopped usings those and tried to incorporate a sniper to my BO. Most Soviets nowdays skip the Clown car with snipers so german sniper is hard to kill in early game (ofc with you have to babysit him and micro all the time). He also is very good in mid-late game simply cuz MGs now cant stop vetted Soviets infantry (or unvetted Shocks) but he can slowly weaken them and grens have a chance to finish the job. German snipers vet1 ability is a bit tricky (btw you have to kill around 30 cons to reach vet 1 if I remember correctly) cuz it always shocks the target but sometimes it also kill 4 guys in one shot. So far good but the problem I got is that german sniper is nearly impossible to keep alive cuz he will get one shotted by: mortar shot, esp. the 120mm one and it hasnt to be even close Guards PTRS rifle (it has huge range so their guns cant hurt you but antitank rifle kill you) Zis gun (Im talking about normal shot, not a barrage) Su-85 Katy barrage All of these cant be dodged so there is no skill or micro involved. What I am asking for is more HP (more armor is imho useless) so he wont die by one random shot everytime I use him to do his job but instead he will got wounded (badly) but there will still be room to retreat and heal in base (as Soviets snipers). What do you guys think? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet strafe22 Oct 2013, 06:44 AM We call this "wipe plane" because there is only one chance to survive - insta retreat if you see red smoke and hope. It is simply too powerfull but the main problem with this ability from my experience is that the plane can finish off damaged Ostwind (esp with damaged engine) with no problem which is stupid cuz it is the only counter Ost got (AC will not survive to late game).

Thread: if oorah got increased to 10 munis30 Aug 2013, 20:41 PM Fire-Up was IMHO the most stupid thing in vCOH. If you charge MG you either got insta killed or suppresed no running and gunning. If you want less suppresion with Ooorah then only with huge damage taken. In: COH2 Balance

I dont want to nerf it directly, I just want to be able to kill it and that is very hard to do since 1 guy will make to HQ in nearly every situation. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: mortar team balance28 Aug 2013, 08:01 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Aug 2013, 07:25 AMMauser Ok so here is my concern The thing that irritates me is the soviet 120mm. You can kill 5 guys and it still retreats with one man, wheeling that fucker out of there. Why is it like this and do you guys think it is balanced? If so, why? I feel your pain man, it is bullshit in my eyes too. That thing is already beast with huge range and damage. Two of them can lock (if you stop moving, you are dead) big area, esp on some maps in 2v2 and there is NO real counter for german till Panzerwerfer or howitzer. Also "funny" thing is that even direct fire from werfer usually dont kill the mortar cuz one guy just run back to base and they can mortar werfers back with succes. Imho it should be changed that you need 3 guys to survive instead of 1. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Sniper Fixed ?28 Aug 2013, 07:46 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2013, 22:21 PMBlovski In addition to which, the 40 hp is just way too low. I've seen a few get ZiS sniped with just a normal shot, and any sort of indirect fire can basically just instakill them. Peter from Relic said that indirect fire is meant to be the counter to snipers. The problem is, as you said, it works only against the german sniper. Also I remember from vCOH how many snipers died to AT guns in general until they finally fix this in some patch. It is however hard to say if snipers die to AT guns in COH2 cuz no one build german sniper and not so many soviets waist time with ZIS and PAK on the other hand gets very quickly decrewed.

Or by the second sniper team the soviet player inevitably has, because why would you ever use just 1 sniper team vs an army of 4 man squads? I'd much rather see a second man in the german squad and just keep it fairly mirrored for now. I am 99% sure that there will be no change in the 1 man vs 2 men sniper team scenario so lets forget about that. Also in addition to my previous post, maybe it can be coded that german sniper will always fire first at the guy with rifle (if he is also in range). ATM german sniper has no role and no additional usage like soviet flares. I can leave with that he is ultra fragile but let him bring me something extra to my play. In: COH2 Balance
