Counter sniping mode.
« on: October 15, 2014, 01:31:39 AM »
Would the devs consider a "Counter Sniper Mode" for RU and OH snipers?
I imagine it would be somewhat equivalent  to the arty counter function.
While this mode is active, the sniper will only engage enemy snipers when they break cover (like shooting).

Countersniping is a highlvl skill in CoH. I'm negative towards the suggestion though.

That suggestion is as flawed as giving riflemen grenades that always is guaranteed to kill its target, or giving the panzerfaust the ability to snipe infantry. Arty counter for brits doesn't guarantee that the enemy arty piece will die, while countersnipe IS.

This will break up the use of Snipers.
Then i cannot use a Sniper anymore.

Exactly. In most games each player has one or two Snipers and the reason why a Sniper is so damn good is because
you (and your opponent) needs a good micro.

Yes, right to the point. You can't expect to build a unit that perfectly counters another 100% time, especially when it requires little skill to use at all (click one button and kill abilities)

Yes, I see it may not be beneficial for the game.
