[Wehr/Soviet] Snipers relationship.

Honestly you lost all credibility here with "T70 rarely hits vet 3".

Soviet Sniper teams face off against small squad, high exp value Axis infantry. Wehr sniper gains crap ton of exp against Brits, but gains tiny amount vs conscript models. It's important to consider what the unit faces against when considering its value. It's definitely true the Wehr sniper has superior stats, but the argument you've completely failed to address is that 2man squads are far too advantageous when it comes to Sniper vs Sniper play.

Soviet sniper I feels is only good against Wehr, OKW can just rush in with volks + Kubel and laugh at the pathetic DPS from your units whereas Wehr sniper is always useful against all 3 Allied factions.

Okw cannot countersnipe, so sov sniper has free reign (and lol at kubel being a threat to snipers)

And good luck using wehr sniper vs conspam, m20 rush and brit countersniper.

All of the above strats carry its own risk too, I feel that Wehr sniper synergies much better with the gren + MG combo than other factions, Brit sniper I feels arrive way too late, not enough screening due to IS not being mobile enough and 222 slaughter em, M20 costs an arm and a leg to get it, cons spam gets rekted by G43, that is my experience since the new patches.
For OKW when I use sniper the other guy just use Fusillier and plow through my cons line.

Also anyone still use the Osttruppen + sniper combo?

Ostruppen got nerfed hard in early game for a lmg at t4, I don't think they are worth it.

But seriously, get ppsh cons+sniper, there is nothing that can stop you.

Rush a sniper and fill the ranks with 3 maybe 4 ostruppen and they become worth early game versus soviet/brit but try to replace them in mid game with something else because they loose pushing power after early game.

So why not get grens instead? Doc free and better after early game than ostruppen

Before going any further lets define what each sniper job is. Soviet sniper teams main job is to counter team weapons while the Wehr sniper main job is to counter other snipers.

Now to the topic:
