Soviet Artillery Spotter observe range

[Pac-Fish]

I'd prefer if the Spotter Team didn't exist at all, I miss my old 2 man sniper team with all the abilities intact

I dont think they are going back to that

IIRC was labeled as OP due to having superior survivability than any other sniper. That's why was changed.

The sniper team wasn't very noob friendly, but anyone who knows how to play properly can easily take down a sniper team. Countersniping is just one way to take down a sniper, and in this case it's just represents people's inability to adapt to a new challenge. I truly wish the sniper team comes back, as it was something very unique for the soviets, which made for such a way more interesting experience.

[Tankbuster]

It only made them OP. That squad was better than the sniper ace.

without vet? maybe. with vet i disagree.

I agree with Fishhunterx

No.

It was cheap to spam, had an arty ability, could only be counter sniped properly with two snipers, because one sniper only kills one person, allows the team to get away or counter snipe the countersniper. It's a proper unit the way we separated it.

[SnappingTurtle]

I agree. It's one of my favourite parts of the faction.

In a sense the old 2 man sniper team is stonger. It had artillery, spotter ability, 2 ppl, and you could reinforce it. The sinper ace has faster rate of fire and special vet abilites but can be counter sniped(regular health), no spotter ability (but special pin ability), and cost a whooping 850 mp (almost as much as an IS-3  )

[Dot.Shadow]

Well perhaps adding the 2 man team back, but removing the artillery ability, would be fair then? Not to mention that you fixed the counter sniping issue with the fix that made snipers target the man with the sniper rifle in the team first.

[GodlikeDennis]

It isn't going to happen mate, sorry. The current split upgrade system works fine and is much more balanced than the old sniper teams. The old sniper teams were also skilless, requiring just an attack move command to wtfpwn everything.

[Dot.Shadow]

That's really sad, it made the faction so much, much more interesting. I'm very anxious to see how the current spotter team performs after the next patch, so I'm not going to say anything more about it till then.

[Pac-Fish]

Maybe we could give it an ability that works similar to Radio triangulation

[GodlikeDennis]

Yes, the 2 man team is iconic and unique but a pain to balance. So we tried to at least keep some uniqueness with the split upgrade system.

im confued why the sniper before upgrade cant shoot or kill very well, like hes just armed with a mossin?

why not start him like a reg sniper but if upgraded to spotter take away the sniper rifle and grant the second man so it becomes like a two man rifle team.
of course with all the goods the observer gets.
