The sniper camo bug is this effect? 1v1 AM situation now, in latest patch, where my german sniper in long range stay IN GREEN COVER, in hold fire stance, i click manualy shoot on the enemy SU sniper team, shoot down 1 member, and than, the another SU sniper member, aim, shoot, and WIN, without babysitting, or any controll, only with spam mindless attack move, cause me a full squad lost, and -360mp... My Sniper was in GREEN cover, and no wounded enemy solder, or anything enemy detector unit/effect, nothing... Right after this situation, i tested this with on of my friend, and i get cca. 50% same effect, IN Green cover WM sniper, slaughtered by a 2. member of SU sniper, only with Attack move... I think is only a bug, i hope so...

Not sure this is a bug OP, I was pretty sure this is how the Soviet sniper team worked. Ost sniper is useless against them.

On a related note, I know the Ost sniper gets set on hold fire until he is retreated if you click the hold fire button at any point. Unclicking the button no longer does anything. Toggling it back and forth also does nothing. I only noticed this recently so must have come with the Southern fronts patch.

nobody cares if your sniper is in green cover or not , the important is , has it a camo or not. If the enemy sniper managed to get in range to kill your sniper , that is your fault too .

your english is very good btw,

Both sniper have same range, what is this "if get in range to kill your sniper is your fault too" thing?

you must take the risk if you know the enemy sinper is inrage and able to kill your sniper in any time. Better fall back in this time.

Hmm, i saw a relic vod, where one of balance tester said : WM sniper in green cover can countersnipe the SU sniper, because in green oover recamo faster, than SU sniper 2. member can shoot back. Thats is simply not true than...

I have a feeling the recamo penalty is similar to vCoH, where repeated sniper shots increase the recamo time. After 3 shots, it takes a significant amount of time to recamo.

I thought good players do that regardless if they have camo or not =)
Shoot and move is the way to play snipers in any game =))

The bug with the german sniper is as follows -

If you move your sniper into cover and he is camouflaged, then he will not automatically engage targets in range. You have to manually tell him to attack (this is not with hold fire on, mind you). Hopefully this is fixed soon, as the german sniper isn't even an option this patch.
