well soviets wont use it too much, since their snipers only camo in cover(i think didnt play alpha) and if wher sniper snipes the 2 man soviet squad second man counter snipes (again i think i read that it is possible somewhere)
soviets snipers cloak in cover, and Wehr cloaks just in cover (even while he moves i think) and uncloak when in red/none cover. I used to play 2 volks 2 snipers in CoH2 and it was sooooo easy....
No matter, real US players will just have to up their game and adapt. I wonder if we will see a resurgence of 4 Rifles BAR with an additional Jeep to put pressure on the Sniper. Looking forward to the next semi-final, there will surely be US wins there.
4 rifles adn jeep.... epic, one mine and your jeep is dead, all good players lays mines everywhere
Well now you're getting into theorycrafting and making illogical points. It is hardly a waste to spend the WSC cost to get a Sniper if you get the counter-snipe and then snipe a few more units off. If that is a waste then the teching cost to T3 is a waste for WM as they can just run their Pumas into mines and then the US has a TD or MP up.
I have to agree on the Riflemen reinforce cost tbh. It's one of the reasons snipers are so insanely strong. Especially since, at a high level, the most 'reliable' way to kill one is with your own sniper. And even then, against a good player it's going to be almost impossible.
and before you get countersnipe, you have to waste additional fuel and manpower and time to build wsc.... and usually then WM can build T3
Barton looking for some easy excuses for his poor US play. As for yesterday's games - I was really dissappointed with US play. Razor summed it up very well. Every game the same doc.
I'm no looking for excuses, USA is just UP faction in early game and this sucks, each other faction has good early but not them
