i think every faction has a sniper that excels at something for instance
i think that taking away what makes the German sniper excel would be detrimental considing how he fits in with other factions snipers and i dont know that the fact that germans have 4 man squads is the lone reason why the German sniper fires faster i think they wanted each faction to have unique snipers that have different pros and cons.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Umm, soviet sniper is LEAST durable precisely because of 2 men.
Brit and Ost snipers can eat mortar/rocket shell that deal 80 damage, they can eat direct nade to the face and shrug it off, sov sniper will die to all of that.
Sov sniper have advantage in sniper wars, but ost sniper camo, aim time and vet1 aibility nullify that advantage effectively.
The AP capabilities of brit sniper boil down to it being different version of AT nade as you won't be killing anything with its BOYS rifle unless it'll be last shot needed.

Replace Brits with any other faction and the other faction would lose just the same, werh sniper OP. That's all there is to it.
3 rifles with no upgrades < 2 grens + sniper
3 cons < 2 grens + sniper
It depends on skill of course as well, what position they are in, etc.

Oh I never accused you of fanboyism, reading more then what is written isn't good for mental health either you know.
I've simply pointed out a flaw in your way of thinking, not being able to use your main line infantry just because opponent have a single unit and because you have engineer isn't smartest of excuses and arguments, don't you agree?

Maybe they added target tables so that they could make the sniper less op vs Brits.

I agree to some extent, but Sovs and USF are not helpless. A good Rifles or Cons ambush, Oorah or M20 rush are good counters. But UKF, the will bleed too much and the carrier is way behind M20 in terms of combat power.
All I'm saying is, good players can play against a well-microed sniper with Sov or USF (USF is harder though as we all know) but UKF will bleed for a much longer time. Although Ost sniper is somewhat OP as you say, Brits might need better mechanics to counter them early.

Not true for USF. You can ambush as much as you want, use a m20 if you want. The only way to kill a well microed sniper is RNG. It doesn't mean you don't have to flank or ambush, just that half of the time, Superman dodge your bullets like Neo in Matrix.
