I said this for a reason, you cannot afford multiple Ost snipers, you can afford multiple Soviet snipers. This allows you to burst down a squad forcing it to retreat instantly. Like on a 4 man squad you lose half your strength in literally 1 volley to 2 soviet snipers.
What kind of logic is that? Because as a faction you cannot afford to build more than one of a single unit, said unit should be more cost effective with the same cost than a single unit of the enemies?
Does that mean that the KT should be a baneblade, since the faction itself can't afford to spam it? Of course not. Unit prices have a direct effect on unit power. The only other factor is timing, and the ostheer sniper is in your first tier so it is a nonfactor.
Also, I don't really see how you can't afford 2 ostheer snipers. UKF doesn't have a clown car, so the only at you will need for a while is fausts. 2 snipers is an easy build for Ostheer vs. Brits, since the brits won't have nearly as many squads as you do.
God help us if there isn't a faction entirely based around spamming 1 basic unit.
Ok, so if brits should just deal with the ostheer sniper, why doesn't ostheer just deal with a buffed soviet sniper? After all, they have mortars.
You don't really have an argument here. You keep going back to "but combined arms", which also applies to every other thing you say is op for allies (m5, etc.). Those units are obviously overperforming for cost, as is the ostheer sniper. Here, let me state one last time one of the integral rules of balance. I'll even bold it so I never have to say it again in any thread ever: The existance of counters does not mean a unit is balanced. It only means that it is somewhat possible to deal with it.
