fairly pathetic, it cant snipe anythin in 1 shot vet 1 and above, i fail to see how its rate of fire is any faster. the only pros are heroic armour and fireup, but theyre hardly worth buying it for, and his aim is shit. I played with him at vet 2 the other day and he missed 6 times in a row vs an axis sniper and couldnt even 2 shot it after all the fail missing. Its needs altering in some way

i say give it a garand type sniper rifle and have it be half the normal sniper damage and 25% less accuracy and boom, done. It'd be a little historically accurate as there were Garand Sniper rifles, they had lower accuracy than the springfield, less punch and a higher ROF

Huh? 25% less damage than sniper rifles, what would that help? Snipers kill with crits. This one doesn't.

the AB sniper still does 45 dmg a shot. so 2 shots kills most axis infantry. Storms being the exception.

The fact also remains that the AB sniper is one tough bastard to kill I played a match where he started in my opening call in and he drifted INTO a Bike. he walked away from that and ended the match with 31 kills. Granted he was on the field the entire time.

snipers arent ment to be tough, theyre ment to be 1 shot 1 kill. heroic armour is for retards that cant micro, it costs more for what seems to be a nerf than a buff.

I would agree. Maybe we should just change it to AB Marksman. Either way Snipers should 1 shot each other regardless of who they are. the AB sniper should 1 shot axis snipers and axis sniper should 1 shot him.


Because I waited 4 mins behind enemy lines for the Axis sniper to uncloak and when he died I shot him in the face and he lived!

[quotethe AB sniper still does 45 dmg a shot. so 2 shots kills most axis infantry. Storms being the exception.[/quote]

They do 65 damage a shot, same as normal American snipers.  That's enough to one shot volks and suppport weapon crew.

So buy the normal sniper?  No one is forcing you to buy this unlock. It's called giving people a variety of units to choose from rather than pigeonholing everything.

Every one is allowed to have there views on unlocks wether they are forced to take them or not.
The AB sniper i havnt tried out yet because of the bad feed back, i may level up another AB army and try him out but atm, he doesnt cloak, he cant hide from light vehicles, the only advantage he has is the amount of dmg he can now take. Doesnt seem really worth it for the trade off.

I'm sorry but does the AB sniper have the ability to create Nazi zombies with headshots?
Just checking since I haven't played in a while

They are immune to countersnipes. Tongue

This needs to be changed.

Seems a bit silly to me that a T3 Terror sniper will never ever be able to combat a T2 airborne marksman.

The marksman just takes the shot to the face, lives and returns the counter snipe.

Nope, he can't countersnipe, that's why he has heroic armor. He kills with damage, so unless the sniper is half health already the marksman won't kill the enemy sniper either.

So basically both snipers need 2 shots to kill each other, sounds fairly balanced, no?
