Spend more resources stalling mp and teching, and you still have to retreat infantry to reinforce them, and your first IS's still face Ost sniper as 4 men.
Also, more men for Ost to bleed. 35 mp per man for IS.

In the current game build, I think the Ostheer sniper is close to where he needs to be. If you're talking about the sniper VS the UKF, I think it's too early for that discussion.

Currently I feel OST sniper is too strong due to a combination of RoF, Veteran 1 ability, and survivability. He is rather overpowered to poor USF as he gains veterancy very quickly while inflicting horrendous bleed. Downgrade his rate of fire and MAYBE even put him into tier 2 as well increased recieved accuracy. With the introduction of the WFA and the Brits, snipers are in a very odd spot right now. I recall the days of VCoh and how great Wehrmacht sniper was against the Brits back then. Even if OST sniper was given the mirror rate of fire he has better camo and a extremely good veterancy 1 ability which would make up for the lost of rate of fire.

Can't the Brits just countersnipe?

There is not a single reason why ost sniper wouldn't have reduced RoF, maybe not as bad as soviet one, but it definitely should NOT kill faster then brit sniper.I´m against that. That would make the Ostheer Sniper absolutely useless versus the 6 men Soviets. It would have to go down in cost then.

Is sov sniper absolutely useless against OKW pfussiliers?
Sorry, that isn't relevant argument.
Not every unit is useful against every faction and in all situations.
You wouldn't build Kubel against T1 soviets, but its bordering on overpowered against USF.
Same with snipers, you don't need it at all against soviets, its extremely potent against USF(lack of counters, lesser squad numbers, higher reinforce), but it will be way too op against brits(all the reasons its extremely potent vs brits+even higher costs and even lesser squads).
We aren't really asking here IF the ost sniper RoF will be nerfed, but WHEN and by how much.

I'd say keep the sniper as it is. since brits get the 5th squad member later on. (Why don't they give the same to whermacht biatches)
