Verdun feel strange too.
When he is not in front of the scope (not aiming at all) he can perfectly see though.

What you probably think will happen: sniping becomes limited to good players
What will actually happen: the 5 players in the grey zone trying to snipe will now be accomplishing even less

I personally vote we should just stop giving Snipers as a starting squad, the three starting squads should be
Riflemen, Assaulters, Engineer
I get the idea behind having them as a starter squad.
Snipers can counter machine guns, AA guns, open top vehicles, and to a degree mortars.
They’re the answer to a lot of potential seal clubbing without being OP in their own right.
Alternatively just encourage people to integrate snipers into their rifle squads as designated marksmen so that players can switch to them (or ai can handle) as a means of countering open top vehicles and weapon emplacements, so that players can use them the way they seem to be intended (as a counter to fixed weapon positions and open top vehicles), without encouraging dedicated sniper play.
That on itself is a good ideea but only if you were to get semi autos first and bolties later down the line.
All my assault/ MG squads have a marksman with a scoped SA and it’s a good combo. Problem is that with a scoped BA you tend to stay further back, keeping an assault squad away from where it’s needed.
Well, I feel like designated marksmen should be more of a rifle squad thing, which, rifles should already be relegated to mid-range combat and skirmishing while assault squads handle CQB, while DMs pick out priority targets, but that might just be me.
