He has too much health.
You need a ton of shoot for kill him in medium-range,
A vet sniper can one vs one a conscript squad with his health and ability.
You can never kill him, ... in retreat he needs, at least a blob of 5 conscripts for be kill.
So what you need soviet sniper for kill him ? So why soviet snipers have less health ...
PS : Can you balance Tiger ace ? everybody has this cheat commander $$$ so now nerf it please.
cost : 280 fuel 720 manpower and not amputed Manpower.
Osth sniper is fine. High risk high reward.
he has a decent amount of hp yeah, but is still instantly killed if caught in the open or in the sights of an early scout car.
I lost a vet 3 sniper today to a ZIS at gun

any artillery flushes them out pretty good.
and it is NOTHING compared to the USF mortar carriage of 1 shot squad wonders.
