Check this out, I think a scoped PTRS might be interesting for the sniper; it would need to have a high damage output and better pen and perhaps some crit based abilities.
And please no "but PTRS is already a sniper" jokes.

Isn't PTRS already a sniper?
It's an AT rifle so it wasn't used with a scope under normal conditions.

It was a joke
Snipers are cheesy anyway, why give them another advantage

Because .303 rifles totally make huge fiery explosions.
Maybe the german sniper stole a PTRS?

But the German sniper already has the inexplicably huge explosion based incendiary round.

Jesus dude, if you want to get all technical,
German snipers did not use rifles chambered for .303, the German standard rifle cartridge was 8x57 IS, and it is documented they actually were at least sporadically issued explosive ammunition the use of which facilitated rangefinding/observation.
OP: Don't believe everything you read on the internet , seriously, WW2 era Soviet scopes would likely not hold zero when fired from a PTRS.

cause KRUPP STALH JAH!
WUNDERWAFFE JAH!
Why can't snipers destroy light vehicles (ie trucks, cars) with a low probability death crit due to headshotting the driver? RNG amirite? Esports?
theres a mission in the campaign where snipers can do this.

.303 Brit was not fired from the K98k, That fired 7.92x57mm
WW2 era Soviet scopes would likely not hold zero when fired from a PTRS.
Soviet Glass was generally low quality and a standard issue PU
would shake out of zero without a beefy as hell scope mount.
The idea of AMR's were not generally thought of until decades later.
The 14.5x114 that the PTRS fires (57 caliber) is a more beefy round than even .50 BMG (12.7x99mm)
Unloaded a PTRS is 20 kg or about 45 lbs.
That kind of weight is unsuited for general marksman purposes.
Hell a Panzerschreck weighed about half of that.
Furthermore the 7.62x54mmR (M91/30) is more than a capable anti personnel round.
In a game sense how would this work, Sniper's deal 0 damage and crit infantry.

Snipers don't have a mechanic that is unique to them, there are no coding related issues with this.

Then why dose 91/30 PU list as '0' damage?
Edit:
ah even more confusing. On Coh2 stats it lists as '16' damage min/max and on the grid weapons page
it lists as '80' if it did 80 Wehr sniper should survive a hit from the 91/30 PU but this is not the case.
Can someone elaborate on this?

AFAIK sniper rifles deal an automatic death crit but no conventional weapons damage - which is why you'll always get pretty low damage dealt when using a sniper centric approach.
As for Soviet glass, while the optical quality was indeed generally bad, the PU series of scope was mechanically pretty sound. But still, exceedingly unlinkely that it would hold up to a PTRS...
