It is currently almost impossible to have fun in this game as Allies and i’ve seen it happen on Axis too. If I want ANYTHING done, I have to do it myself. Nobody ever advances. Ever. I’ve seen nothing but endless squads of all snipers, refusing to do anything but sit there and farm kills while the enemy takes every single point we have.
Giving more of an EXP reward for things other than kills may help as well, but I think this is mostly down to large amounts of players thinking they’re “DA COOL SNIEPR” and padding out their K/D ratio while they settle in for another quick loss.
I’ve seen tanks and planes clear out entire capture points and not a single troop takes a step toward it. Every single one of them snipers. Please for the sake of this game’s future limit the amount of snipers that can be on one team. Limit snipers to sniper specific squads and put a limit on how many can be out at once PER TEAM. Perhaps then people will actually do something else.

This is a very exagerrated statement. People do cap objectives, you are not the only one taking them, there are no endless waves of snipers. Yes, people who would sit just outside the objective and not have the presence of mind to go in and cap do exist, and not all of them are snipers.
It’s the same in H&G, and probably the same in other games where you have to capture/defend objectives. Limiting the amount of snipers per team is not going to make it go away.
Maybe taking objectives and defensive kills should be rewarded with more XP to encourage people to actually do what they are supposed to do.

There isn’t actually that many snipers in the game as you would imagine. Working pure averages, there are 4 Inf squad options and two vehicle squad options per player. The Recon squad can have a max of 3 snipers, and depending on some choices you might pick up 1 or 2 in the other squads, although given a choice of Eng, Radio Op, Assault or AT as well as a sniper choice, I suspect the sniper is a distant one for most.
So on avg you’d have 3 - 5 snipers per player scattered over anywhere from 1 - 4 squad choices. That’s not that bad actually, and on many maps there is enough cover to advance without exposing yourself too much. Othertimes, if you switch out quickly enough from the sniped player you can return the shot from another squad member, particularly if you spot where the sniper is firing from.

No, snipers are the last thing to be worried about. Limit planes bombing capacity, mortars and artillery instead.

Doesnt matter if they’re snipers or not, most squads camp regardless of class. Yes it’s easier with snipers but squads of Garands/G43s/K98s will also camp. It isnt a class problem it’s a player problem
Nothing wrong with camping, moving in towards objectives just makes the whole screen start shaking since someone is constantly dropping artillery or mortars at those locations.
