Not asking them not to get snared; it's the range of the faust combined with the fact that it seems to guarantee an engine crit. Also, I play at low resolution to ensure faster gameplay... as far as I can tell there's no animation that the faust is coming up, is this correct?

How about you just keep at ranges > 20 ?

isn't the visual range only 30? so that gives you a narrow range of 10 to creep forward, which is not really how the UC rolls (controls).

Am I missing something, or does one volks snare take away nearly all of the bren carrier's health, to the point where-- even if you are retreating for a full second or two BEFORE they even fire the thing, it will hit you (100% chance if memory serves), engine crit you, and then they can easily follow you and finish you off with its gun, unsupported?

I'm open to hearing strategy to dealing with this, although I suspect it has to do with balance that could be addressed by making the snare miss more often (ie, through a smaller UC hit box), or at the very least not having it result in an engine crit every. single. time.

Here's a scenario that plays out quite often. You're microing your fragile UC. All of a sudden, a volks pops up in your true sight. You hit and click U, IMMEDIATELY, but the volks has also clicked and hit their snare. Your UC is pretty much dead as it beats a slow retreat.

It seems to me there needs to be a way to involve skill in the equation. Say you've hit reverse a certain amount of time before the volks fires their snare. I think an amicable solution would be to have the snare miss a certain (high) percentage of the time. I'd be interested in hearing other ideas (armor buffs, increasing price of panzerfaust munition to 40 or 50, drastically lowering the chance of engine crit, etc)
