Look at it this way dusty, the issue with changing the sniper is that it is the Brits sole snare at this point in the game (unless you go weapons doctrine). Every other faction with snipers have access to snares so that they can actively screen their snipers. Without any snare on the entire brit early game, you make snipers unviable because they become impossible to defend.
I agree that the sniper needs changes (50 range 100%pen snare isn't very balanced), but it is currently holding together the brit early-mid game (hence why people use it so often). Something needs to give in exchange so that you can actually actively screen your snipers.
Mines don't really count because you can't actively screen with them. They are also only useful on maps with bottlenecks at the early stages when you have a sniper vs. 222 matchup, since you don't have the munitions for many.
I would say that IS or RE should get some kind of snare, so that they can discourage light vehicles from ignoring them ad going straight for the sniper.
That. Former situation was bad, current situation is still kinda bad for a different reason.
, they dint called it Ace for no reason ya?,
