Ostheer Sniper Op, When NERF ?

Don't think I've ever seen the snipers described as a "machine gun" at close range (especially the Sov one).

Thanks for the laugh.


I'd actually like it, if the spotter in the the sov sniper unit, acted like a, you know, spotter to some degree. But my personal preference would be to remove the extra man altogether.

Currently, there is no real use for the extra man in a sov sniper team, unless you're in a sniper duel which makes having the extra man too much of an advantage, or you fuck up your micro with it in the first 7 mins of a game, and get caught by a Kubel, low vet volks or unupgraded grens (which I think is sucky, as the high risk/high reward unit should be lost if found in such a predicament, much like the Ost sniper should be lost in the same situation, but rarely is).

I'd like to see both units be rebalanced.

One option I've seen thrown around would be to reduce the soviet sniper team to one man, increase the health of the sniper model to 80 or 82 (if that is considered balanced for the Ost sniper,) and make the soviet spotter a squad upgrade that adds an extra model and increases sight range at the cost of 90mu or 180mp.
