I don't understand why Ostheer and Russian snipers have the same cost (360 manpower).
I can agree that Russian sniper is expensive to reinforce and the second man would die very fast and I agree that Ostheer sniper is very useful against shock troops but I'm talking about Sniper balance. I'm not Ok with the fact that the counter for Ostheer sniper is a soviet sniper, but not vice versa (and both have the same cost).
In a game like COH, the counter for a good microed sniper should be another microed sniper.
1 unit per sniper in Russian faction would be enough. I know they have less Rate of Fire but german squad size have 4 units while Russian have 6.
You're not talking about sniper balance, you're talking about sniper vs sniper battles.
These don't exist anymore.
Just like penals don't stand a chance against equally expensive pzgs.
Snipers are different and they are not meant to counter each other.
Soviet snipers will always be 2 men and german snipers will always be 1.
Relic ensured us about this multiple times, so threads like this are void.
Relic also said they are balancing snipers, but will not change their survivability.
