Descorver-er unit

Just curious, the US have the jeep, the Wehrmacht have the motorcycle (or schwimmwagan), the PE have the Kettenkrad (also or schwimmwagen) to discover enemy snipers. What do the Soviets have?

Re: Descorver-er unit

methinks the conscripts, what better way to spot snipers than being bait?

Honestly though, perhaps the soviet command squad or the light tank?

Re: Descorver-er unit

eight conscripts  ;D ;D
I charge a sniper with American infantry may loose 1 or 2 or 3 but in the end I get him. So why not with Soviet conscripts!

Re: Descorver-er unit


Well soviets have to retain *A* vulnerability to snipers,
SOMEHOW... Me thinks it's not by amount of kills that
german snipers would be feared here :)

Thus, as rear scouting, picking off the AT guns, Mortars...
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

Re: Descorver-er unit

The sheer size of Soviet infantry squads means that they are most effective at countering Wehrmacht Snipers.

Re: Descorver-er unit

my guess is youd want to keep your command squad away from them above all. be nice if the downside of not being able to cloak for the sharpshooter team was a large detection radius. but theyve got quite a few ablities already. Conscript bait it is  :D
