what do you guys do to counter the sowjet sniper?
especially when the snipers are paired up with some sort of at, i have problems (and my enemies, when i play sowjets) to counter this. german sniper is very risky and doesnt pay off in most of the cases, scoutcar is either killed by one mine, or by su85/pak supporting the snipers.
the moment my sniperteam has vet 1 (sprint ability, i mean, cmon relic, you know better!) and i have some sort of at out, i have won the game.
and yes, this is 1v1.

Mortar is your best bet

i could work sometimes, but a half decent player, will move his squad, and your mortar will not liekyl be able to kill two guys at once!

1. scout car vet 1 ability is your best friend. know where snipers are.

2. 2 gren (or more if you have em) squads must move forward at sniper, once within range, rifle nade the sniper, or even a bit behind him.

Mortar - try to predict where he will run compared to how long it will take until the mortar impact. even if you only get 1 of them, you are pretty certain he will back away if not retreat.

Yes it can. It happened to my snipers yesterday while on the move and I got so angry. Snipers are often victims of random tragedies.
