Snipers and Assaults

[ILCK]

I'll tell you one thing my jungle fighting expereince is teaching me, Japanese snipers are better armor killers than Tiger tanks. These guys have about a 75% success rate toasting off my armored vehicles. Good god, I've never seen anything in this game kill armor like these cats.

Yes, snipers are close assault capable (unfortunately..really!) and you usually see the 30+% chance frequently when snipers are dug in and assault a vehicle in "mixed" terrain. Assault chances are generally lower (between ~1 to ~20%) when snipers (and other infantry) are not dug in and terrain for defending vehicle is more favourite. (other stats like number of crewmembers, experience, suppression ect. play a large role too off course). A sniper not dug in, most of the time has a 1% assault chance and when playing against the AI I particularly find it annoying when snipers reveal themselves in such a useless manner. Btw, there´s ski snipers in the russian OOB that work quite well, they neither close assault nor run in tank panic! [:)]

My general advice would be;..don´t drive anything into anything that is surrounded by sand bags![X(]
