Depends on veterancy and doctrine abilities. Vet 2 for the AB sniper grants 20% more health, which would explain 3 shots.

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?

Also the AB sniper has 50% chance to miss a moving axis sniper.  Where as the axis sniper will never ever miss the AB sniper because it has heroic armor.

In a countersniping war, the axis snipers have the advantage.

Ghilie ability basically does that for all AB units.

when AB rifles would be priced correctly around 200-240MP that would be an option

but currently they are 280MP+60MP=340MP for a weak infantry squad that can get no stickis and overpriced bars without suppression

No ambush bonus and ABs don't have a massive alpha strike weapon the way storms do.

Not very powerful when I tried it.  Great for behind enemy lines ninja stunts if the map is big enough though.

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!

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.

so wait, you sniped at a vet 3 airborne sniper with heroic armor (which kch have and it takes 2 shots for a normal sniper to kill just one guy) and you think it's broken?

That airborne sniper is ridiculously tough to kill especially after the extra health bonus.  I managed to kill Computer's vet 3 one on abbeville only because he decided to micro his RR blob on the front and left his sniper sitting in the back field uncloaked. Despite his inattention it still took my vet 0 Puma like 30-40 seconds to kill the unmoving sniper at pt blank range. The second time, was when he kept the vet 3 sniper on the field at half health and an inc shell from my ist overshot my target and caught his sniper at the edge.     The way its set up right now the airborne sniper is the perfect harrasser.  It can still decrew and plague your support weapons and there is very little counter to it with its armor type, fire up, and if it has an healing in the backfield to back it up.

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!

+1

3 shots requried to terminate him is retarded, make him shoot faster with less accuracy but remove heroic armor and give him fireup.
