M3 snipers were not an exploit. M3 snipers were a design choice they redacted in time because it turned out to be utterly broken. The entire soviet fraction pretty much got a buff in return to keep them competitive, mind.
You can tell that wanted them in there for a while because the first attempted fixes were making it 50% accuracy on the move and then the crew inside having a 50% chance to snuff it.
This is an exploit that was fixed and slipped the net. It's not meant to be there at all.
Hence it was an exploit. Just because it was an intentional development decision made by the devs doesn't rule it out as being used as an exploit and being abused by some players to the point where it was removed altogether.
I see no difference in this case because in the scheme of things there is no such thing as playing "fair" when the game itself offers way too many avenues to try and cheese out a victory, with spamming, mindless Brit simcity, using bike/jeeps to push infantry...etc.
I'm not introducing any mods or hacks so why the hell should I or anyone else be banned for playing the game in the state that Relic delivered it? You guys are directing your anger/menopause at the messenger and not the source.
I'm not doing it for a stat boost, I just think it's incredibly hilarious and I really cannot help it if all I need to do is drive at the enemy.
lol @ idiots calling me a "nazi boy" for dressing up my user profile on a CoH website in a German theme for a WWII RTS game....
