The Sniper is one of the weakest classes in the enlisted.
They usually don’t affect the progress of the battle.
We can improve the sniper like this.
Historically, many snipers have carried submachine guns to protect themselves.
We can unlock the secondary slot and allow the Sniper to carry the submachine gun in the secondary slot.
The second is that the Sniper should have a health boosting skill.

I’d rather snipers were really situational than something everyone should be brining…
They can stay as is, only problem is that once you’ve finnished grinding Sniper squads it’s just better to put a sniper inside a radio squad (they do the job so much better, two specialist soldiers plust two radiomen with half call-in time is just so much better, only having one sniper isn’t even a detriment since you can just pick up the weapon if the sniper dies).

(German Fg42II sniper / stg44 sniper / Soviet avs sniper)
Not even a joke. In maps like Seelow and probably the new one, a single of those will stop entire squads from advancing. If there’s lots of ground to cover and you face those… Better trying to find another path.

Snipers are reversed Assaulters and Gunners.
Sniping feels off on most maps, people can easily track you down with kill cam and for some reasons, bots are quite decent at detecting taking out “long-range” snipers and the squad itself offers nothing. At least Gunner squads offer heavy machine gunes to build.

Personally I’d give them some spotting abilities.
Dedicated sniping was, is and will always be useless in enlisted. And there are many other squads that are straight better at mass killing. But spotting on the other hand, that’s some untapped potential.

Their guns are strong but their squad is too tiny, they should be 7 man squad. Snipers III should be able to have vitality perk too as they have to go vs AR/MG/SF/SMG spam and can’t survive for long.
It’s pointless to pick Sniper squad as they have only 5 crewman while Assaulters can have 6x ARs and one of them being scoped.
Paratroopers can do better job than actual sniper squads as they can land anywhere and have 15HP

FPS games would improve tenfold if snipers and the people that want to use them passively didn’t exist.
What good is a 7 men squad, if it can never reach or even less pass my 5 men squad?
Takes just one soldier with sniper stg or avs or fg42II and all those nice assaulters get downed before being able to hit back…
And I’m not talking about Lee Enfield sniper either… in large Tunisia maps, it’s a terror.
In short: quality over quantity.
Takes a while to get there in TT, but once you do…
Sniper stg is just garbage with it’s bouncy recoil, too big of a zoom for it’s dispersion and low dmg, you will get smacked by bots. FG42 II sniper post buff is probably the best sniper you can use. Mkb42 is somewhere in the middle still leagues above stg, it’s low dmg is still bad but at least with smaller zoom you can manage recoil better.
Do you really think some snipers will defeat post buffed RD-44 and Fedorov? I don’t think so. You may take one and then get shredded to pieces.
That’s why assaulters with single sniper are superior. As it’s both quality and quantity at same time.
Mileage vary ofc.
But to say stg44 sniper is bad… is a bit (lot) of a stretch.
As for facing meta things. I’m neither a russian main nor an axis main. I’m a Teaboo who stubbornly use the Bren at br5… with some Lanchesters… against 9 men fg42II.
And I do well enough. Meta doesn’t scare me.
Now imagine when I start using stg44 sniper and avs and fg42II…
Wouldnt say bad but you do not really play as sniper but play a AR with an ACOG.

Yes.
They aren’t good as a squad, but pretty good as individual soldiers. I always have them in my assaulter squad so I can snipe enemy engineers building a rally point or tank commanders peeping out of their tanks. You can also snipe enemies in AT guns. Also, they make the bolt-action daily missions extremely easy to complete.
I like stg sniper
but avs sniper is just hard to use, even with maxed perk
