Been having a look at autocover behavior. Just did a first pass at it and I'm amazed by the results.
If anyone wants to just skirmish test it, extract this to the EliteMod folder and launch with -dev. Tell me what you think.
Autocover Tweak
Wow, its working. snipers doesn't rush 5 meters in the nearest crater before taking the shot anymore. And infantry stay now on the right side of the cover. However, rangers and stormtroopers still reposition before firing the shrecks/zooks.
Regarding the snipers i think hardcapping them to 2 per player is the best solution. If this doesn't please you than increase the upkeep like crazy. For the 2nd sniper make it 25, 3rd 50 and so on. Right now the sniper's upkeep is a joke.
