Hello

How do you counter snipers as OKW without the help of the le.IG?
Soviet sniper can be focused down with elite infantry but the British sniper is almost unkillable.

Smoke and flank...
Sadly OKW has no smoke (you could advance through) and not light vehicle that is able to flank before the P2 Luchs hit's the field.
Flanking with infantry is not always possible (road to Kharkov, Rails and Metal) so I mostly build a second ISG to "counter-sniper" the enemy sniper.

This somewhat is true for USF aswell but M20 and Stuart are both suitable for flanking but sometimes maps restrict light vehicle play.


I watched OCF and I will try to hide falls somewhere to ambush the sniper but I don't want to play Luftwaffe every game. (like Aimstrong did with commandos)


So how do you create openings/distractions as OKW e.g. at road to Kharkov to flank the British sniper?

+3
should cost as much as rifle smoke

I think all on-map howitzers should function like the 25-pounder with infantry thrown smokebombs, make them (nearly) indestructible base upgrades to compensate for that

Thanks

I really love the sturmtiger but it's batshit op on some maps (semois)
I use it a couple of times with the new patch now and nothing justifies it's "alpha damage"
Remove it's ability to fire through houses and buff it's armor, health and time to fire.
With it's speed you should be able to get away with anything than weapon crews.


It would be better to change all explosive weapons:
-decrease lethal aoe area and increase none lethal aoe area
-add suppression to all explosions or only the bigger one

my suggestions would be:

All explosions should suppress like leig18
mortar/grenades/su76(barrage)/medium tanks - very low
leig, pak zis(barrage) - low
tiger/is2/kingtiger - medium
isu/lefh18/ml20/KV2 - high
sturmtiger/demo/50kg bomb/railway - very high

very low: suppresses for 1 second
low: like they do already
medium: a bit stronger than low
high: pins in a small area and suppresses in a larger one
very high: pins in the area a sturmtiger does damage



@Alex:
You vigilantly defend the Sturmtiger, think about it:
While it's dps are probably shit and it's performance is balance with it's price it's simply a wrong unit for coh
Unit preservation is one of the basic ideas of coh and this unit completely ignores this (just like demo and ISU)
