I was thinking that in almost all situations, when a sniper starts shooting at a group of people, they tend to drop to the floor and take cover.

The sniper is, in effect, suppressing the people even if they miss.

Why not have a sniper have the ability to suppress a target squad/unit?

I was thinking perhaps a toggle like cloak, where you either get to suppress a target doing minor damage or use the standard sniper shot where you kill squad members but don't suppress.

This is what terror sniper upgrade is for...

[EliteGren]

The Terror Sniper does exactly what you just described.

I EIR, the soldiers enjoy being killed... so they stand.

that alone makes me want to start a terror comp!

[DarkSoldierX]

its a T3 unlock atm lol

[VanOwen]

Dang... I was sure that I checked all the recent posts and spreadsheets about that... Must have missed it.

I was thinking that perhaps the suppress ability could be a level 2 unlock and available for all snipers but... I'll leave it as is.

I'm using Terror Sniper now..
It's so pretty .

It's a fantastic t3, you don't get anything better by choosing kommando karabiner, it's just a perfect trade off. Suppression snipers are so helpful against Allied elite inf, such as AB and Rangers.

You forgot obvious ones. PIATs, obvious sticky rifles etc

Did they improve the suppression? The last time I used it, it could barely suppress people.

[smurfORnot]

tried it,meh,nothing special,since 50% of time you will miss,and do nothing,not to mention when someone is in house,you almost do nothing...and supression,well,they are not supressed like mg supressed,but instead they walk,slower,kinda brits in vcoh in neutral/enemy teritorry...and it even didnt do that all time.
if you want supression,just have mg somewhere to cover sniper,and have double kills on him,or spend T3,have 50% less kills,but 'slow' down enemy here and there...I am switching back to normal sniper.

Had several 40+ kill snipers since I got it. I was just decrewing ATGs in the middle of a battle and people didn't even notice. If someone who sucks at sniper micro uses it it's still gonna suck, but if you know how to play them it's a nightmare for the enemy player. I can't imagine going back to regular snipers.

[smurfORnot]

when a good player,which you are,uses something,it will do very good. I am not expert with sniper,but not that bad eidther. It also depends against who you play. I will try regular one,then maybe switch back to him again.

Smurf - I consider myself to be a good player with tanks. Even I couldn't make the JagdTiger work to cost-efficiency, though.

Now, good players are good catalysts to making units work well - but the unit still has to have potential for that to happen in the first place.

[smurfORnot]

last game,regular sniper 53kills 

fcourse it depends against who you play.
Well,jagdtiger was kinda bad,so...if unit sucks,no matter how good you are,it wont shine all that much,but if unit is average,and you shine,then it will shine probably too.

I got 96 kills from 3 snipers before, with one of best single sniper usage kills at 63 or 68. Forgot which one. Was against decent players. Show me a 60 kill with terror sniper.
