Seriously, these things need to be fixed. They are uncounterable. They have way too much survivability, and that fucking sprint ability at vet one makes them invincible! All they have to do it use them in the clown cars still and they are just as good as they ever were.

Seriously Relic, just make the Soviet Sniper a One man Squad, its as simple as that.

Agreed .... even if the soviet player has piss poor micro and allows his sniper to get rifle naded, 99% of the time the rifle nade kills just one and allows the other guy to retreat.

Soviet snipers need to be made a little more vulnerable to offset the 2 man squad advantage.

"I just lost to a strat/unit, let's a make a post on the balance forum implying it's always OP and there's no way to counter it!"

How to kill snipers:

-Mortar halftrack (at worst you'll slow down their dps because they have to relocate after every shot to be safe... at best you'll get a chance to drop a fire mortar on them which usually burns them up before they can retreat through it)

-Regular mortar (less effective than HT)

-Panzerwerfer (even with sprint, the rockets come down so fast it's nearly impossible to dodge with command lag... one hit means goodbye sniper)

-Scout car flank in midgame

Things that need to be changed:

-Don't allow the sniper to get in the car, because that's stupid.

relic wants to avoid sniper vs sniper vcoh metagame, they stated it multiple times.
people gave you loads of counter ideas, the best thing to do is play with soviet snipers yourself and see how decent people beat it.
the worst thing to do is not changing the way you play hoping it will work vs any soviet unit.
nerfing soviet snipers will have major effects on the overall balance.
