Umm, if soviet goes for early FHQ, there will be no conscrits around the map and no early T2 mortars to defend it.

If soviet goes for T2, there won't be any early FHQ locking the map up until 2 CPs.

If he places FHQ near your cutoff, get around the map and cut off his resources while locking them with MG42 and/or mine field.

FHQ is incredibly easy to counter if you know what to do, it forces soviet player to keep most of his forces near it to defend it, it DECREASES his field presence across the map, allowing you for more room around it.

The only reason why people are having problems with FHQ is it is so damn rare sight that people have no slightest clue on how to react to it.

I'm not saying the German sniper sucks. I feel the sniper just needs a bit more love surviveability wise. I've seen 2 con models unvetted at range snipe a full health sniper in green cover before, as well as a single flare taking out a vet 2 sniper easily while it's on the move. It may be slightly more effective than the Soviet sniper due to camo/rate of fire. But feasibility wise putting it in a build it needs to pay off big-time, so a health increase + armor increase would solve that problem easily. I've seen all types of skill-level players try German sniper builds and 9/10 their German sniper get's RNG'd to the face by the dumbest things. I feel making it a better standing unit would still keep it balanced with the Soviet sniper because the Soviet sniper, while slow in camoing/firing, has a much higher survive ability rate than the German sniper has, since you can not only retreat it if it gets down to one man, but take shots to the face and still have a chance to save yourself. German sniper does not have that luxury and it costs the same as the Soviet.
