Why? Do normal jeeps not kill snipers fast enough?

After misten's sniper survived 7(yes, 7) jeeps from me and draken rushing it at the same time... I'd hazard to say - yes, they don't kill snipers fast enough.

How did he do that? It's impossible to fail killing a sniper with 7 jeeps if he only has say a pak and p4. Unless you're not microing any good.

Pro Tip: 1 Halftrack with the sniper and all jeeps are useless.

 That says more about you and Draken than it does about jeeps to be honest.

Jeeps can turn on the point. Bikes can't.
Jeeps survive a pak shot. Bikes dont survive an atg shot.
Jeeps survive a panzerfaust in the face. Bikes dont survive a sticky.


Nough said.

Anyway, I think there might still be some armour doctrine abilities affecting jeeps for you jeep lovers :p

Ahem. Sniper was in green cover and using medikit. Your 15 jeeps, not 7, all got destroyed by supporting AT supppp-er fast. Or was it close to 20 jeeps? There sure were a lot of jeeps. Imagine if you had like, something aiming at the sniper at the same time as the jeeps uncloaked him and there wasn't anywhere to hide or shotblock. That would have been a zinger, you big kidder you.

But yeah, the bike is superior to the jeep in hunting down snipers because its higher damage. That said, the PAK is superior to the bike in hunting down snipers because a cloaked pak seems to kill a sniper more often that not.

Haha, yeah i remember that game. That was ridiculous and you deserved it

Jeeps CAN survive a pak shot, so fucking what? After that pak shot it's not going to go in guns-a-blazing to kill the sniper, no, its going to get a damaged or destroyed engine, and then get finished off by the next pak shot, or by a single volley fire from some volks, at that point the sniper himself could finish off the bike. Same with a faust, the jeeps useless after one hit from either. Also doesn't matter how fast your jeep turns if it does shit damage, bike doesn't have to rely on turning because usually once the sniper is in its sights, the sniper will be dead in the matter of moments.

Ehm, a unit like the jeep still fullfills its role with 1% HP. Park it behind a hedge and you still can scout. And people that are crazy enough like smokaz, will even have a repairkit on their jeeps.

So i rather have a 1% bike still good for scouting than losing my bike completely. When the pak doesn't kill the jeep you know where it is (same for jeep being killed) but you can still see when it moves away if you have enough sight on it.

my point is once the jeep is at 1% it's not very hard for even a pios squad to hunt it down and kill it. i very very rarely see or manage to get a jeep that's survived a pak shot directly out of harms way, unless you're lucky enough to have something else distracting the pak.

also as stated, jeeps won't know where the pak is initially, a bike can usually spot a 57 is you leap frog behind of cover and such.

they both play their scouting role the same, but the bike plays the actual killing a sniper role better, and the role of killing support units better as well. a flanking bike can usually kill a 57 no problem before support comes in, a flanking jeep takes much longer, you'll be lucky to kill 1 crew member before back up arrives. and in both of these cases the jeeps ability back up and being more mobile doesn't really help it any. also i do believe the bike is quicker allowing it to get out of situations faster.

Scouting Jeeps were boss back in the old days of EIR. I used to run with like 5 of them. They were the tits.
