Because the Wehr sniper will snipe those 6 guys long before the Sov one can snipe 4
Besides, no snipers are vulnerable to any clown cars nor LVs. All will survive at least two full bursts while in no cover.
actually i get the dynamic here... even if the sov sniper takes longer to kill the 4 man squad... a shot already takes off 75% of its firepower... since snipers have to move on the reload and not stay static the full advantage of the higher ROF for the OST sniper cannot be taken advantage of... especially with a penal build...
BUT
a conscript build is soo bad it cannot fully take advantage of this... i think cons need to be reworked with PPS-43 or go cheaper to some 220mp to become viable...
