Some machine guns were capable of mounting telescopic sights. I think scoped MGs could be given to Snipers
While some may say the scoped MGs are out of class for the Sniper, the Sniper already has scoped automatic rifles and assault rifles. In particular assault rifles are a close relative to the sub-machine gun. The smg and assault rifle are designed for close combat, and yet they are given to the long range Sniper class
The Sniper represents snipers, marksmen, and sharpshooters. Their job is to look through a scope and shoot the enemy. If it has a scope it goes to the Sniper
Scoped MGs would give a new weapon type and play style to Snipers
Currently the scoped Type 97 MG would be moved to the Sniper, giving Japan an automatic sniper
My complaint with the sniper class is that if you choose to use a secondary weapon instead of your ammo pouch, your forced to choose yet another sniper rifle. Yeah, you can take the scope off which is great if your a level five sniper and can use an StG44 as your secondary, but it would be nice if you could choose other rifles other then just a sniper rifle for the secondary. Example, I bought the premium level three German Gehwer 41 sniper squad. I like the sniper rifle, however, if I want to stay at level three the only secondary weapons I can pick are level one or level two sniper rifles, it would be nice if I could pack a secondary G41 rifle.
the reason why the game doesnt have them is because of the way they are offset, i think it would be difficult to do unless the game engine supported stuff like picture-in-picture scopes
Sniper StG are standard rifle with scope, so it’s for sniper or sharpshooters.
LMG with scope increase accurace and reduce ammo waste, but it’s still for suppress/fire support
isn’t sniper
