Snipers should be limited to one on the field.

Limiting a sniper is considered bad but limiting heavy vehicles is not??

Here are the estimates of the rate of fire per minute of each sniper. Gathered by shooting things non-stop. No movement, No veterancy, tested three times each.

British: 9-10 shots per minute.
German: 8 shots per minute.
Soviet: 7 shots per minute.

Many brave Osttruppen gave their lives for these tests, I hope you appreciate it.

i thought the ost snipers is the deadliest one because of the highest RoF hm.. is it because of aim_time then?

i disagree with pretty much all of this. snipers can be obscenely annoying in the hands of a good player, but there's a massive tradeoff. i've known a few guys that can manage 2 at a time, but it takes a ton of micro and it's very manpower-intensive. snipers also don't move around the map very quickly. this is definitely a L2P issue.

The only faction that struggles against Snipers is the USF which imo is bad design. But even in that matchup the nature of sniper play means that up into LT tech Rifles should have initiative while Grens + sniper defend their cut off. The sniper has little movement ability meaning you should be able to use LoS blockers to establish control and set up a large flank minimizing damage from sniper. But if you just keep putting your Rifles in one general area to get blasted like fish in a barrel while Grens win engagements, jokes on you.
