re: Company of Heroes 2 Official Thread

The M3A1 gun would not fire at max range of sniper, which is how the car is most effectively utilized. It is the first car the Soviets get, assuming they build the special rifle command, there aren't "tiers" like with the germans, but if you build the support weapons buildings you get no vehicles.

Look, I've had about 30 hours with the current configuration where SU85 + Sniper car has dominated and there is no way to counter it. I've defeated bunker spam, pio spam, grenadier spam, mg spam, and just about every type of early game strategy the germans have using the sniper car. All you have to do is mix in conscripts and research the AT grenade ability, or even use a commander who has the guard rifles.
