Unit suggestion thread:

[stealthattack1]

dude, thats pretty desperate. no offense, but theres no point to an anti sniper sniper. just get a regular sniper.

[dragonmith]

Do the Ostheer get snipers? 

sides, I think the Brits could use one, Recon can get mowed down trying to kill a sniper, waste of muni


edit:

Ostheer get a Marksman, who is for good for mid range combat http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=5771.0, so my suggestion is a long-range (very long-range) slow firing counter sniper

[Pac-Fish]

The Ostheer sniper gets a Kar98z later on with either vet or modernization. Not sure. So for now your Ostheer snipers will be mid range support. Later they can be long range support.

the marksman can become a "real" sniper after vet4

like evilSpike said:
Marksman:
[...]
* Ace
 - Forward Observer (Artillery Barrage, Smoke Barrage and Box Barrage)
 - or
 - Sniper Ace (Sniper Camouflage, Best Counter-Detection, Slowest Camouflaged movement; receives a Scoped-K98; explosives; removes Hide ability)

Then will the marksman be tougher than a regular sniper while it vets up? Or at least cheap?

[neosdark]

Umm I'm pretty sure in late game the Heckenshutze Marksman (excuse my improper spelling of German words) when he takes the Sniper Ace Veterancy becomes something similar to a Counter Sniper (plus artillery )

[Pac-Fish]

God sniper . It'll be fun to have the Heckenshutze Marksman face off against the Hero of the SU 

[stealthattack1]

dudes, i can see it now. to godlike warriors facing off, determining the fate of their countries.

The SU sniper slowly takes aim at the sniper ace. He checks his ammo. He knows he only needs one sho to send him home. He steadies his aim. He inhales slowly. As he exhales: BOOM! A single shot rings out! The landser troops are sprayed with blood as their Major dies. They drop to the ground. The soviet sniper and his spotter yell out a victory cry...........only to be shot by a passing kubelwagen XD

[dragonmith]

Or hit by Russian artillery 

[Pac-Fish]

Thats a "shitty" way to die XD

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

its pretty hard for the marksman to reach vet4
you should remember that hes not like other "sniper" units. that means his damage output is awesome but therefore you can cloak him and he has the shortest range of all snipers untill hes vet4

so it will be very hard to get vet4 with him

[Pac-Fish]

Does the snipers' range in crease with vet?

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

no
this would make him just op

but you can cloak him but you must decloak him to fire
he has no autodecloak to fire
