Mechanized company, WC-51 and M20. Chase them down. I name this strategy "Running and gunning with WC-51 and M20 vehicles!"

With soviets you can countersnipe. USF you really do either have to get lucky with the wc51 or hope he really screws up at some point.

with USF, flanking or mortar if you cant flank is the way to go.

Why not just run them down with the clown car? If you got sov sniper you can get the clown car as well right?

I'd say the m20 is an actual option for USF now though. The increased long range accuracy means you don't have to go for a full dive to actually threaten the sniper, and when you do go for the full dive and it works, youre no longer trading 340/20 for 360 (down trading), you're up trading.

That’s definitely a possibility too, just you’re more likely to lose the clown car in that scenario. I like to countersnipe because that way you still have your sniper which gives you a huge manpower advantage that only gets compounded by further snipes. People don’t ever tend to get second snipers so yours can usually roam free (until 222 ofc but then it’s good bait for him) and even if they do that probably means they miss out on building an at gun or whatever.

I'd say the m20 is an actual option for USF now though. The increased long range accuracy means you don't have to go for a full dive to actually threaten the sniper, and when you do go for the full dive and it works, youre no longer trading 340/20 for 360 (down trading), you're up trading.

That’s right, I forgot about that. The m20 is definitely very good at killing snipers and I remember even pre-patch if it didn’t get the sniper on retreat usually 1 burst once it got back to base, even from pretty far away (as in outside his base, even) would be enough to kill it.

Smoking the LOS of the MG42/Sniper then rushing it flank/nades.
