Ost sniper dies to 1 shot from soviet sniper but can take 2 mortar shells. Soviet dies to 2 ost sniper shots but dies to one mortar shell. I don't see any reason to complain. Besides, your sniper will have to be standing in the same spot for like 10 seconds in order to be hit by a mortar. That or you are walking into a barrage.

Unfair poll anyway, making someone against op's thought complete fanboy.
