How to counter snipers as Soviets
« on: January 24, 2010, 04:29:07 PM »
Hi!

Last game; there was a sniper spying on me, the flak ennemi killed my katiouchas  and tanks?

I discovered him by walking all around but another came again....

So how can I find snipers as soviets, ami has jeeps but brits has nothing. Does soviet have something?

HOW can you have trouble with snipers when playing a faction that relies on INFANTRY SPAM?

It defies the mind.

Saavendra - its easy.

Band of 3-4 snipers fears nothing in fight vs early infantry. EVEN if my brave soldiers ( LOL) could get closer - flame engineers burn them very quick.

Not every unit needs to have an easy counter. Sniper is useless anyway against the big size squads. You can just run 2 squads to the sniper location and he'll retreat or die. If you are really desprate you have a free arty to call on him. A sharpshooter can kill it too if he's detected or retreats.
I also saw that a rus squad near an outpost can survive 2 sinpers who constantly shooting at them, due to the fast reinforce speed.

You have EIGHT MEN SQUADS. And you can send in THREE AT THE SAME TIME EASILY. WITH SUPPORT.

note that the wehr snipers at vet3 got 50% lower cooldown so they shoot twice as fast, if they manage to build 6-8 of them soviets squads will dissapear in seconds (I've tested in on allies and it works miracles but they have some hard counters to snipers like reacon/countersnipe).

after you spend 80 fuel getting them to that point the rus should have sharpshooters in large numbers, a solid counter

Or a group of T90s (another hard counter).
