Why?
Other factions pay equally much if not more + need to pick a weak doctrine as well for it.
Its perfectly fair for what it does.

I agree. The only faction that somehow has a 'useful' FRP is the USF. And still this one costs 120 (?) Fuel.
USF pays more with their forward bases, Ost and Sovs don't have one from stock.

OKW is the only faction with a FRP that can reinforce and heal without being a 'one hit dying' unit like the ambulance.

Its almost as if Relic didn't wanted snipers to be countered by snipers as sniper wars were cancer of coh1.
Let me also remind you that these 2 models do not have 82 hp each.

sniper wars bewteen single snipers were the reason i quit coh1

I don't see how the two boyed/girled sniper team is a solution to fix the sniper war. In vCoH if you had two snipers, the one who shot first won (if he shot the sniper of course, lol). In CoH2 the Sov sniper will always win if shooting first OR second. Of course there are the different cloak times and aiming times which were introduced to fix this problem (as far as I know this was meant that the German sniper could recloak faster than the Sov was able to aim). But here is where in my opinion the problems start, because as this was somehow balanced in vanilla CoH2 in 2013, a lot of things have changed since then. Snipers are way longer visible after a shot (cloaked units in general).

IMO the sniper wars from vCoH are history in the predecessor is because of the new cloaking system based on cover which makes more sense and is in my opinion also more rewarding for good micro.

But still I stand behind my opinion that balancing a 'gimmick feature' is way harder than to just remove the gimmick and mirror the stats more or less. Maybe let the German one reload a tick faster because of the bigger Soviet unit sizes.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

just make it 1 man ffs

I also never understood why Relic held so tightly to that cheesy decision to have Soviet sniper teams.
I'm pretty sure that someone 2012 just came up with the idea 'Hey guys, let's give Sovs a sniper. BUT TWO!'

Ullumullu, please try to be a bit more "lighthearted" in your strategic viewpoints.

Everything you write is always a total pro or total con. It's never like "Unit X is maybe a bit too strong", but always "Unit X is so bad, you can have 3 and still lose, while ALLIED UNIT Y can fight Inf and AT with ease."

That is the reason why most people don't take you serious on this board.
As long as you don't work on that - let's call it - 'whiny attitude', people will just think "Well, it's another Ulllumullu post, what do you expect."

Katitof was a fanboy aswell but he made his posts way more entertaining and subtle, that's why there are people who missed him after his ban, while you're simply annoying most of the time. Sorry.

What we can do about this low risk, high reward unit?

I don't want to say that the Soviet Sniper is fine, but it is everything but low risk.

Losing one model means 90MP down the drain. Losing both means 360MP gone. Also the most important thing to consider is getting a Sniper means a Penal Squad less and way less capping power. And if the Soviet player gets the sniper later on, it might face 222s and other light vehicles.

So yeah, it is annoying as hell but still high risk, high reward.
