JoMac Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Wow ! I can see that Snipers are really to effective in CMBN... I have a stationary, but Tired German Conscript Sniper and getting 25-50% hits at around 200-250 yrds. One, against a moving Target, and another against a Target in Building...God forbide if I had a Vet Sniper in Good Order, then I probably wouldn't miss at all...Sigh.

ChappyCanuck Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 My snipers rarely hit anything....they just provide observation and a mild annoyance to enemy forces....."blam, ting!" miss...."blam, ting!" miss repeat as necessary 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 NO, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE HAVING A LUCKY DAY OR PERFECT CONDITIONS, The game does not give that type of results normally, at least it did not the last time I checked. Now play CMBS and you might see some deadly shooting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure if you saw this test I ran back in November. Snipers are very effective in "fire range" conditions but once some suppressive fire is put on them their accuracy goes way down. http://community.battlefront.com/topic/116316-suppression-test-results/ Edited February 12, 2015 by Pak40 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never knew they were that accurate before receiving any return fire. Good to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 My snipers rarely hit anything....they just provide observation and a mild annoyance to enemy forces....."blam, ting!" miss...."blam, ting!" miss repeat as necessary Sounds a lot like my experience... And I tried to use them in a "sniper-ish" way, keeping them separate from the main force, using target arcs to keep them opening up like nutbars.. ugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 My snipers never seem to even shoot. Playing the BN:CW demo, the sniper team would get a spot from a high building one turn, I'd give them a target order the next turn, they'd shuffle about a bit, and the spot would go away. This seems to be typical of my sniper experience. Designated marksmen in squads do sometimes do pretty well when the squad's not being fired upon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Jack Ripper Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Most of the time I park my snipers in some bushes or a multi story building, and I just leave them alone. They tend to pick off tank commanders and gun crew fairly well so long as they remain undetected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
