CoH2 - Tip of the Week #15 Snipers

[@GraafBerengeur]

18:39 Yuri knew that neither stavka nor his Babushka would ever believe him when he told them how he killed Günther Boshart, the ace sniper.

[@Dickiboy]

Soviets dont have a sniper team anymore its now only one guy

[@TotalVikingPower]

Very High quality video mate ! I like the fast and clear explanation. Thanks !

[@mandalor6708]

Can you do a tutorial about how to use light vehicles in late game?

[@HelpingHans]

That's a good idea, I'll put it to a vote for a new tip of the week and see if people like it.

[@mandalor6708]

Helping Hans Splendid thank you my friend

[@ericrhinehart9155]

Been having so much fun with your OStrup build order.

[@martinvermeulen9690]

Very useful, thanks Hans. I would also have liked some explanation on how to keep snipers alive, including from mortars etc and especially the usf mortar. I guess one must just know when to keep him on hold fire and to keep the sniper moving so they dont always know where he is? Also, the rifle-grenade of grenadiers is a great way to oneshot enemy sniper if the guy isnt paying attention.

[@maxpalombella11]

Its really maddening that even when you have snipers in hold fire, if you enter a building, the windows all smash open and you automatically shoot at anything! WHAT?! Why? Sniper should be way more specialised!

[@jasonanderson846]

18:40 made my day

[@onyxdragon1179]

I hate the fact that the US and the OKW didn't field snipers

[@sebking7902]

Onyx Dragon agreed, would be cool to see some sort of implementation of a designated marksman for US. OKW and US are the factions I play too so I never get to use a sniper lol

[@natethenotsogreat8349]

@@sebking7902 the closest the have is the assassinate ability for pathfinders in the campaign

[@mikeshoults4155]

I keep hearing you say "slapper" Which makes the game much funner. Sneaky slapper hiding in the bushes

[@VonManteuffeI]

Your forgot OKW Puma's Precision Shot. It has 100% accurcy and will always kill allied snipers on retreat ;-) And Obers with Mg34 or STG44 are also absolutely deadly vs snipers. Great video though!

[@HelpingHans]

I believe they are removing that next patch.

[@SanyaLitvyak92]

hi Hans, could you do one episode about close the pocket ability from encircle doctrine ? namely the requirement for it to trigger & the time it take for the ability to start. also, what is the name of the mod you are using for your tutorial, i want to test out stuff so this mod would be really helpful. Thanks

[@HelpingHans]

Hey AkatsuKeji, sorry for taking so long to reply. If I get enough people wanting that topic for a tip video about general off-map abilities I could do it. The mod I am using is called Cheat Mod 2 by Janne252. You can find it in the workshop.

[@Gwaeddwynn]

Critical shot of british sniper (or okw puma) does not stun all heavy vehicles, neither does it disable the turret on all medium tanks. It depends on the vehicle having a turret that can traverse, or a fixed gun (this means its an assault gun). Assault guns (STUG, Jagdtiger, Elephant, Sturmtiger, Jagdpanzer) will get stunned. Turreted tanks (P4, Tiger, Panther, Königstiger) will have their turret jammed. So a british sniper cannot stun a Königstiger, although a jammed turret will likely lower its efficiency :)

[@ratbarthegreat4487]

launching the flare with the Soviet snipers reveal their position

[@johnbaker7322]

But the flare can also reveal enemy snipers as well. So you can use it over a wall to reveal an enemy sniper and have other units fire.

[@Werewolf263]

what kind of mods do you use to demonstrate? are there more than one?

[@HelpingHans]

I use Cheat mod 2 to demonstrate my tips.

[@Roaproductiondk]

Which program are you using for the demos(where you set unit to enemy) ? I never seen it before and I would really like to try it out

[@lludd99]

is that a mod that you are using or in-game? i want to test some things in game myself

[@zerg-zx5rx]

It is called FG42.

[@theguy4812]

What is more usefull in your opinon panzer4 or phanter in a completely normal game and Nice vidio i die learn much about snipers

[@wolfianius6037]

I´m not Hans, but I´ll try to help. It demands on what you need, a Pz. IV is better against Infantery and is earlier on the field, the Panther on the other Hand is better against Vehicles and can take more damage and can be quite a game closer if you are ahead in fuel. But the Pz. IV can also be very decent against enemy medium Tanks and is easier and cheaper to rebuild if lost. To make it short: The Pz.IV is a solid and most times good choice to go for.

[@LubieOwnic]

Panther*

[@wolfianius6037]

ZombieX Thanks, didn´t saw that I write it wrong.

[@theguy4812]

Wolfianius i also like p4 more but if comets and t34 85 rolling on the field... but its nice 2 hear multiple opinions

[@sethroseblood9456]

Hans? what about the infra red stg obersoldaten?

[@Guitars0nMushrooms]

okw Puma is great vs snipers. it's vet 1 ability is great to counter snipe.

[@HelpingHans]

That will be removed next patch.

[@Guitars0nMushrooms]

Yeah , i've read the winter patch notes. To bad.

[@jakobtonndorff7865]

It's a good idea to patch that out. An anti-tank veichle should not be the answer for countering snipers.

[@adrien406]

Nice tips, thanks!

[@corbier26]

lol nice dance with that sniper

[@jaisonfache3648]

Hans could you Update this video with the lady patch?

[@tassos1178]

Hans what map is that ?

[@HelpingHans]

Read the description bro.

[@bhipsahoy5168]

hey hans

[@CrazyJean]

You were so fast-speaking and quick thinking back then, aging slows you down.

[@carlostorres6908]

you actually dont expect that kind of baiting on a proper match...like counter sniper is not very much seen in my tier... I´ve only been countersniped 1 time in all my matches...but I countersniped lots of them

[@mrcrecer1312]

All snipers must be two people

[@kloic4518]

Nope that would be not realistic.

[@aerousmobius1946]

still waiting for USF to have snipers

[@wuli928]

Path finder is considered one.

[@sahincelik7610]

i hate mortars, they always one hit me

[@NathanMulder]

I feel your pain :( !

[@memyselfandi432]

the only reason why i love mortars is because i mainly play brits. yep, those pommy gits are right bastards ;)

[@enricoprochaska5031]
