I was just pointing out that porygons reply made no sense. No unit in the game loses vet when reinforcing, yet he thought it would make sense for soviet snipers to lose vet when they reinforce.

I dont either think that is the solution. Remove sprint and remove -1 man, voila perfect.

That would make the soviet sniper significantly worse than the axis sniper in every single way imaginable.

You guys shouldnt nerf the Soviet Snipers to the ground just for the sake of it. There still needs to be some balance, and both Sniper units should stay viable.
The perfect solution imo would be to remove the sprint ability and up the reinforcement cost to about 120. Why to 120? Because 180 would be a little bit too harsh in my opinion.
German sniper should remain unchanged. He really is balanced right now. Most of you only look at his fragility, but not on his sheer killing potential. His firerate. It isnt too hard to keep your snipers alive. But it is easier with the Soviet faction. And im kinda ok with that, because the Soviet sniper also needs something he excels at.
The perfect solution imo would be to simply make both Snipers 1 man units and balance them with their stats, cloaking behaviour etc..
But i guess this will never happen...
Being bad at the game isn't something balance patches can fix.

Or so it would if the 221 wasn't 55 fuel away, which is a lot when your infantry get cut down right out the gate.Rush for it. Snipers won't do anything to them if you get 221/222 early.

Some of the suggestions here are rather extreme.
2 simple fixes is enough to balance snipers. The first is to remove sprint from soviet vet 1 snipers, and replace it with the flare (with a munition cost decrease to 45 or 50). And the second is to give she Ostheer sniper incendiary rounds at vet 0, and a reduced received accuracy bonus at vet 1 to give it more survivability.

Just reduce soviet sniper to 1 member and have the same rate of fire with ostheer sniper. Done.

Haven't you seen the realistic movie Enemy at the Gates? Soviet sniper always have to be in pairs, it's illogical and against faction design if it was any less.

The only major weakness of the 222 is that it comes out too late against M3 flamers. It dies to cheap soviet mines too easily, but get a minesweeper I suppose. Too bad that minesweeper pios basically can't get vet......
