Sniper ace vs KCH
« on: July 21, 2010, 02:03:17 PM »
I thought the sniper ace was the ace of all snipers  :D, and that it could one shot kill heroic type armor , but with a battle against wehrmacht today it was not so , although the KCH were vetted 3 but the sniper ace  one shot kills another vetted infantry with ease , it took the ace 4-5 shots  to get one squad member down , u guys have any idea why was this happening or does it happen only with the KCH

Considering sniper ace is an ace(this shouldn't happen) or is it another balance issue ???

Completely working as intended. The sniper ace should take 2 shots to kill each KCH as with other snipers. The small squad size is what makes this essential. The heroic armour type has modifiers against snipers and Brit lts and captains also shouldn't die in one hit from snipers for the same balance reason.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

It's perfectly balanced.  ;)

they're Knight's Cross Holders, for goshsakes...it'd be awkward and not to mention very, very OP to have a small squad of expensively-fielded hardened battlefield vets get instantly mowed down by a crack-shot with a scoped Nagant, don't you think?  :)

US rifleman can take 5 shots before a squad is killed. :D

Anyway Im not sure about this one.
Who deals more dmg. Sniper ace or US vet3 sinper (1,5dmg)?

Not two shots man , it took the ace 4-5 shots to kill 1 person out of the three

you see if you use vet three grenadiers vs sniper ace it takes only 4 shots to get down the entire squad(that is the size of the squad)

but goddamnit it took 4 shots to get one squad member down from the KCH


And we are talking about the "sniper ace" here gents , whats the point of making it an ace if it isnt better than a normal sniper????( i dont count the camo ability in being better because its possessed by many units in the game)


The sniper ace should talk down any sort of infantry with one shot each!!!!

BTW the sniper ace uses a scoped svt 40

That's not possible...Sniper ace has an identical sniper rifle to all other snipers, meaning 2 shots=1 dead KC  :P

He is better than a vet3 US sniper out of the box...that makes an 'ace'...and then some!

Yeah, I already had that figured out  :P Apart from the game though, I was actually thinking that the scoped Nagant variant was---in reality---a far more common firearm in the hands of Soviet snipers (though it wouldn't have been as much fun as an SVT).

Just like k98 were instead of G43.
Too bad Sniper Ace uses a reskinned G43 instead of US Springfield.

You probably hit each member of the squad before finally hitting the same guy twice to kill. That would be 4 shots to kill someone then. The ace is honestly borderline OP right now but is reasonably fine.

I thought I read when a game was loading that the Sniper Ace was the only sniper able to kill "heroes."
"You can close your eyes and plug your ears and be afraid and ignorant of the darker parts of history, but always know that you're the one responsible for allowing those events to happen again and with even greater consequences and not know how to end the nightmare you did upon yourself."
