because UKF sniper using a AT sniper rifle, so i thought relic think all sniper have AT rifle

jk. anyway i pretty much kept no shots on all the time until i need it to fire and it is safe. auto fire sniper = get counter sniped. if your sniper kills less than 15 models, it is bad investment.

And AT guns and tank destroyers attack infantry.

Hardly a bug, opposing unit is in range and if you don't have hold fire, your unit opens on it. Works like this in every single RTS I know of.

Only AT guns and tank destroyers can be told not to attack infrantry and you will want them to attack infrantry sometimes anyways if there's nothing else to attack. You will almost never want a sniper to attack a vehicle.

What about a Kübel with literally no health left?

i think what he really meant is sniper's targeting priority. when there is a big battle, your sniper who stayed behind the line will auto target the target that he won't miss(i think sniper will target who ever come in range first then when that unit leave, he will pick the one with largest target size, not too sure), which is the TANK because tank have the highest target size. it will anger you when you are too busy micro other units in front line to keep the line, while your sniper is troll at back seat and firing at something he can't damage to.

You can, but it might not be effective :snfCHVGame:

I am almost 100% certain that this behavior was not present in vCOH. in fact vCOH had a better engine and sniper wars really were about micro and most of it was just positioning and smart use of hold fire. In this game, it's really a mess.

But then again all the fun micro situations from vCOH are gone in COH2 because of how buggy the engine and pathfinding is.

It's literally an updated version of the same engine.

Snipers besides the british one do 0 damage with their rifles. Even a 1 HP kubel technically hardcounters them 1v1.

You can use the vet 1 on vehicles? Learn something new every day.

I wish there was a way to turn this stuff off, same for AT rocket troops attacking infantry.

Yeah, I saw one video of a guy who managed to use the vet 1 ability to kill an AEC with low health.

I also know this is true because I sometimes replay Assassination from Theater of War and I spam the ability to kill that damn scout car with the officer in it.

I believe gren's can fust sniper to 1 shot it, but I only sees a video of it, never able to try it myself, either he run away too far, or I need retreat because it will be wipe before it fires.
