Now that all snipers are limited to one, then i think Rifle Section squad should lose its sniping ability.. and in return CW faction would be given a separate sniper unit deploy-able from the HQ.
Rifle Section squad has always been a heavy counter to snipers.. sniper kills 1 member, gets revealed & sniped back.
So now in order to counter snipers, CW should also bring a sniper.. so it's a fair fight.

Re: Rifle Section
Would be a no from me. Sniper ability makes the faction unique, having a normal sniper unit like everyone else will be another step to mirror factions.

Re: Rifle Section
Limiting snipers to 1 was a mirror move to begin with.. each doc was different in terms of snipers and SS squad along with AB HQ squad were also unique with 1 sniper in the squad... Now that all those were "standardized" then i don't see why Rifle Section should be an exception.
Re: Rifle Section
Maybe bring back the Recon bundle ? So you have to atleased unlock it before useing it ?

Re: Rifle Section
Yeah, in my "weapons package" thread i also mentioned it. I would like to have a Package that adds two scoped enfields with increased accuracy while also adding the sniper ability rather than having it by default for the squad.
Build more AA Walderschmidt

Re: Rifle Section
Or just make the sniper a 2 model unit (spoter,shoter) with the same total HP pool that it has now (and maybe even give him the bino or "reveal cammoed unit" that the spoter has?)
With also a new cost of 320MP.

Re: Rifle Section
Ability doesn't auto-fire. You need to manually activate it, click on the target and wait for the soldier to fire and all of that before the enemy sniper re-camoes. Unless you show me some replays where CW massacres enemy snipers and infantry formation by excessive usage of this ability, I don't think it is necessary to change anything.
Re: Rifle Section
Maybe now with the limitation of 1 sniper and the clear diffiniton as a support role, this could be the real deal by now?mofetagalactica wrote: ↑07 Aug 2021, 13:36Or just make the sniper a 2 model unit (spoter,shoter) with the same total HP pool that it has now (and maybe even give him the bino or "reveal cammoed unit" that the spoter has?)
