I had snipers out in the map and attacked a mortar team with a stug nearby. The Stug turned to go after the sniper as my sniper vanished. Apparently the Stug can see hiden snipers and chased mine all over the map until the stug finally ran him over. YAY AI!!!
After the shot on the mortar team the sniper was never revealed. The tank just fallowed him around through turns and ran him down.
I noticed that too. I think tanks and the other vehicles have the jeeps properties which allow them to spot camoed snipers.
One time i sent a greyhound to kill a sniper. The sniper vanished just as my greyhound was a few yards away from him, and no matter how many circles i ran i never saw him again. If i had ran him over i would get some xp to confirm that, right?
Snipers can be inconsistent at times, but i think this is realistic - a sniper that is really good at staying hidden vs a sniper that panicked and tried to run away from a StuG. Did you use retreat btw, or just tried to move away? Retreat is much more effective.
Edit: about JonZ's post, tanks should not be able to spot snipers easily, they have a very restricted field of view unless the commander stands out of the top hatch to look around - i wouldn't do that when i knew a sniper was in the area!
The AI sees all....
I've had AI mortar teams fire on camoed snipers that were definetely not being spotted.
I didn't mind it, since the damn things couldn't hit em, was just a wee bit annoying.
all units when close enough to the sniper will spot him, just jeeps and cycles have a much larger spotting radius
Its not as in being spotted. Its like they KNOW you are there. I had the NPC called down Rocket Barrages on my Sniper even when he had not taken a shot at all and in Stealth.
Yeah jeeps have hidden properties I guess. When you create a jeep and highlight the jeep button thing it says Finding Sniper Position or something like that.

I'm actually thinking this was a bug. I had a volks squad chasing a cloaked sniper around the map the other night.
How about being pursued by a Tiger, three other Axis tanks and two squads of Grenadiers with panzerskrechts? What an ambush that turned out to be, like lambs to the slaughter.
The ai knows where all your stealth units are. I have had my standing snipers get hit by strafing runs by the ai.
The AI has a bug where they can find hidden snipers without them ever having been revealed or spotted.
Tanks should have terrible spotting abilities on troops period...not to mention a sniper!!

players also know where the snipers are as long as the sniper attack event is up; the event jumps to the snipers current location, regardless of elapsed time or camo.
Remember: you're a blogger. Pretense is your co-pilot.

You can let them know it was mission... 8? The hill map with the Arty Tower. I was sneaking a sniper through to try and take out an 88, and a volks squad kept following me (and later a vehicle, I think a stug was chasing them as well). Was quite annoying :-/ There was a similar bug with Dawn of War units always spotting the cloaked units as well IIRC.
I have a replay that is WAy too long to post, but I had a sniper behind enemy lines get targeted by a V1 rocket... Thankfully the sniper still moves quick enough cloaked that by the time the V1 got there he was out of the way.
I think it was on the map for Capturing Hill 192. My sniper literally had the attention of the rocket barrage for the whole game.
The tower's long gone. Turned to ashes by my Artillery.
