Well, snipers are the pain point within the community and criticized by their gameplay. While other suggest to increase amount of specialists and make these squads just another rifleman squad for assault I suggest a different approach where we make it more unique instead.
Recon: The main idea of sniper squad is to provide recon for the team. So, how should it work? By spotting enemies automatically when they are in scope for x-seconds. This parameter should be a perk and be improved by reducing spotting time. For structures and vehicles highlight duration should be the same. However, for the infantry, the markers must disappear as soon as the target moves out of the scope.
Flexibility: Since sniper squad don’t assault the point and logically should be as flexible as possible the amount of people in squad should be limited to 2-3. Sniper and specialist (Engineer or Artillery).
Balance: This type of squad should be limited to 1 in layout and to 1-2 per team. Similar to what we have with the plane squad.
