What is a sniper's accuracy against soldiers in trenches ???? Because whenever I fire at a Brit squad in a trench I miss :(

I have had similar experiences, though on the opposite end.

They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!

I don't have an exact number, but using snipers against trenches is a bad move. Their accuracy is much too inefficient to be wasting time or the micro on it, plus it reveals him and reders him open for a counter sniper.

Then how do I flush out a trench (other than flamers which can still be focus fired). Is it true when you fire on a trench's side (as opposed to firing at the soldiers in front of the trench) their cover bonus is negated ????

That's not true AFAIK. Trenches give 360 degree trench cover for any unit garrisoned in them. I think Snipers only have 25% accuracy vs trenches but I don't have the numbers on me. Flamers, incendiary nades, bundled nades or nebels are the only reliable methods of clearing trenches (off the top of my head).

I think goliaths are another method to clear a trench out. Not sure about that though.

I think Goliaths usually do nothing.

In the fact that they are slow moving targets, of course.

iirc, Goliath does 200% damage to emplacements. however, i still dont think that it is an efficient way to down trenches.

I don't think a trench count as an emplacement :P. Besides I would trade 125 muni to kill an entire brit squad :P

How about dowsing them in nebelwerfer barrages?

Or if you go defensive and have a Clear LOS on maps like Red Ball express, you can build a FlaK Battery and blow the trenchup with the Tommies in it.
