Yep, although it has worse than normal penalties vs light cover, so while it is highly effective against units in the open, any sort of cover will defeat it. theoretically its really stupidfixing. get chased by a riflesquad? boom, squad suppressed, im outta here!
dont have practical experience though.. The terror sniper is practically impossible to track with infantry anyways. No "unit sniped" indicator remember? |

just tested out the terror sniper again with that suppression buff. i still see no difference. it suppressed an AB squad but then i forgot AB has fireup so that went to shit. Arnt there usually more than one rifle squad together at times? If one is suppressed then others will chase and eventually find the sniper.

leth me guess? the AB squad ran right into your sniper after fireup? BUT HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?? The terror sniper is practically impossible to track with infantry anyways. No "unit sniped" indicator remember?

So snipe again? The Wehr sniper refire rate is once every six seconds or so isn't it? You could probably keep two rifle squads off you indefinitely like that. |

Akranadas' Greatest Hits, Volume 1: Vet has nothing to do with unit preformance. We are serious about enforcing this, and I am sure you all want to be able to have your balance thought considered by the development team with some biased, sensationalist coming into your thread and ruining it. |

I dont think you could keep 2 squads off you forever, but if you had a spotter and went run and gun with your sniper, I could see you lasting a damn long time. really like the new terror sniper, seems good to me.

btw you gave me idea for a terror abilitt with this sup sniper, how is that shit called in vcoh? propaganda? The thing which retreats units to HQ ofcourse in EiR it would be retardly OP but it could come back as suppression or pin for a short durration and small area.
Sry for offtop.

It would be cool if Prop War just retreated a single unit to the spawn point w/o actually forcing it off the map (probably a coding impossibility or something though...) That way if you were launching an offensive you could retreat those pesky RRs to clear the way for your tanks, but you couldnt just remove an enemy's unit for the rest of the game |
