hello vet 3 snipers

[Forefall]

I have trouble telling when it's refering to the units' accuracy or the accuracy that other units will have when attacking it.   

[fldash]

Units shooting at it...

[Ucross]

The first one is the accuracy that other units will have.

The second I'm actually not sure but think it's the same.

[Smithy17]

All the relevant gameplay changes look good. Snipers won't have to be so worried about wire and tts at least and tanks should actually be able to hit armoured cars too.

[fldash]

Actually, second one sounds like that units accuracy when moving (as in offensive capability).  First one is definitely units shooting at it.

[Days of War]

So pretty much Greyhounds wont dodge everything and Pumas wont be ethereal to Sherman shells and RRs?

[Steinmarder]

snipers will be more of a pain.. maybe i have to start using those cowardly troops now to keep my chances, at least for sniping snipers the moment they fire.. 

yepp, puma/m8 die like man now

[TheDeadlyShoe]

It doesn't say it fixes puma etherealness, just their accuracy mods :|

[Smithy17]

But if I'm right if the dice roll a hit there's no chance of it going through the armoured car. I think it'll only go through if it misses but the scatter takes it to the other side of vehicle I think.

[TheDeadlyShoe]

Yeah, but you still have a base 35% chance to hit at long range with RRs... its just that instead of *.8 itll be *.9 if its moving now.. :|

[Unkn0wn]

WOW at the following changes:

- US M8 Greyhound and Wehrmacht SdKfz 234 Armoured cars have had their target accuracy modifiers reduced from 0.73 and 0.82 respectively to .9.
- US M8 Greyhound and SdKfz 234 Armoured Cars moving accuracy modifiers changed from 0.6 to 0.8.
- Sniper detection radius reduced from 3m to 1m.

Big changes.

The sniper change is just reverting the last patch.
And since the sniper price never went down after those changes, it shouldn't be increased based on this either.

The m8 change is pretty impressive but since the m8 is pretty worthless right now (hello 90MU shreckspam), I doubt this will change much.
