British sniper is somehow bugged or this unit is retarded, their camo fucks up in yellow cover or something because i had one in yellow and got sniped, their camo is so lame comparing it to ostheer camo, you got revealed like 1 sec being out of cover, ost sniper has like 3 second or something
I explained the problem regarding the problem with british sniper earlier:
http://www.coh2.org/topic/39341/the-problem-with-brits-sniper
short version: british sniper takes
6 seconds to recloak after firing. the german sniper takes 2 seconds and the soviet sniper takes 3 seconds.
British sniper have the most elaborate looking camo in the game, but apparently it's as effective as peacock feathers.
the 2 seconds recloak time on the german sniper is fast enough to promise one safe shot in most cases. Both the soviet and british take ~2 seconds to merely aim their rifle, on top of the response time of the player. 6 seconds on the british sniper is long enough to make him vulnerable to countersnipe on the first shot.
