I am playing Stalingrad without full-access and tbh I do not see huge disadvantages to it, but that is mainly because bolt-actions became really strong. The only thing I hate about the buff is, as always, the players, because now pretty much everyone is camping 24/7.
As I know how picky you are with youtubers, that is quite a compliment to me, thank you for the feedback. Also thanks for pushing my lazy ass in that direction!
My favorite sniper is the Mkb 42 (H) thought and using it as an assaulter .
But yeah, I am always surprised how fun and satisfying it can be to play as a sniper, I do only do so for the sake of being a completionist once I fully unlocked/upgraded the sniper squad, I usually never use them again, well besides in Moscow because of the Mkb 42 … .
