soviet sniper (optionally on M3) should be a very hard counter to this.
you have less, more valuable squads that are as durable to sniper shots, which in turn gets 1.6x experience and becomes stronger and stronger for free
Not really. the problem for the sniper is that this doctrine comes with the g43. the sniper will have to retreat or get destroyed after firing one shot. not to mention that the germans can counter snipe as well with incendiary bullets instantly killing your sniper team for 45 ammo
