Capt. Ayers Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Okay this is wierd.... I tried an interesting scenario using only sharpshooters. I wanted to recreate a rifle squad entering a town and trying to flush out enemy snipers. I had 4 Axis Sharpshooters in the town and 11 US sharpshooters posing as individuals in a squad. As the scenario goes on, of course a couple of my men get hit out of nowhere and I scatter my men. I get a lucky kill with some area fire after one of the snipers exposes himself. This is where everything starts to go wrong. For the rest of the scenario, if the US sharpshooter has a clear line of sight on a target and targets the enemy directly, HE WILL NOT FIRE! Hello?!?! If I chose area fire around the target, he may shoot, but it was not a guarantee. Anyone else have this problem with sharpshooters? It seems strange because the Axis sharpshooters had no problem picking off my men. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Lucke Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Sharpshooters take a loooong time to aim --- even if you pick a target for them. Plus which, anything closer than 100m will usually be ignored (don't want to give away yr position with the muzzle flash!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Weiss Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Hmm, maybe it's a turning problem. Are the sharpshooters turning towards the target? Hehe, just kidding all.

Capt. Ayers Posted January 13, 2001 Author Share Posted January 13, 2001 Hmmm. Ok, that I can accept. Just sucks to have 3 sharpshooters and an enemy in one building and no one shoots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check6 Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 You are using sharpshooters in an unintended manner, so I'm not surprised they went fubar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 You had infantry entering a town to look for snipers and instead they found sharpshooters. Oh my! Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
