Making the timer to recloak after firing an AoE effect would solve the whack-a-mole sniper blobbing.
Every sniper shot affecting the other nearby sniper's timer to recloak would leave very vulnerable snipers for bikes and jeeps (or anything).

Some thoughts on Langres in relation to wehr snipers. For me this has always been one of the main reasons why Langres is just extremely hard to play as US (One of the others being the US base is just a leisurely stroll away from your cutoff).

Then all I have to do is get 3 snipers, and don't blob them. I still have 3 snipers, ready to counternsipe. Sure, its a little inconvenient, but it doesn't degrade the sniper spam.

Out of the box suggestion...inspired by COH2, of all things.
Since we have target tables to play with, how about increasing the accuracy of the mortars vs. snipers?
This stops a double sniper blob cold, and would generally tone down sniper play and increase use of a little-used unit.

thats an idea i ve been thinking about as well , i am also of the opinion that range of mortars should be fixed and equal

Are you joking? Who in the right mind will make a mortar to counter a sniper? And the range is not equal for a reason. US mortar deals more damage and the wehr one has longer range.
Its incredible how Coh2 can alter the mind of the player.

With that in mind, a flanking sniper can render two of the three useless by being out of their range, since they cannot occupy such a small space.
And for those that choose to be lazy and blob, they will find their snipers far more vulnerable than if they had invested the proper amount of micro into positioning.

That would strongly depend on the map, not on the unit's balance (in my opinion). It needs to be tested in practice to see if it'd work as mentioned.
This is going to sound sort of stupid (coh2 kind) but isn't it possible to increase the mortar's squad size to 4 and just reduce the individual unit's hp so that it has the same squad total hp as a 3 man squad? It provides a sniper deterrent(3 shots like mg) while keeping small infantry fire damage the same. The only drawback is that the crew gains a little bit of extra defensive fire.

Yes then we can completely cross off grens form possibly remaning mortars.

That is VERY true, but you can still use volksgrenadiers for that (and by the time you are fielding mortars you still have at least one squad remaining). Not ideal though, you are right.
Is there any organized way of testing the mod with anyone? vCoH popularity is slightly rising because of the -beta, but it is hard enough finding games as it is, let alone test a mod.
