People having problems with double SU snipers when there is no longer OP guards, Penals, clowncar (OKW now has snare), 120mm, etc. They used to have sprint, that was annoyingly OP. Nothing has change in favour of that style and they even introduced fixes and counters (detection) to it.
Not gonna mention doctrinal choices since that would be the ez way (Prosstruppen, MHT, any infiltration unit, single strafe if they are near the sides of the map...).
The reality is that the worst thing you can do is go on a stalemate fight were you just poke at each other. YOU KNOW something is fishy early on since you don't see units on the field. You get the advantage position since it takes a while till CE builds and Penals pumps out. Even more if he follows it with a sniper.
OKW: Kubel + Volks makes it really not effective to use double sniper. ISG will eventually kill it. More proactive, you can get P2. If they are alive till late game, a single Ober screened by a Volks (so they take the first salvo) will kill them easily (remember that they have to shoot from cover, cause if not they can't cammo and they take ages to shoot as well).
OH: heavy T1 with double mortar or fast tech T2. AVOID POKE COMBAT early on. After the first snipe (revealing his strat), back up your units and go to cap else where. If you want to fight, you have to fully commit into it so you at least force a retreat to get map control.
CE + Penal + 2x Snipers = Pio + MG + 3 Grens. I mention an MG, cause everyone starts making 1. A single Penal+CE won't stop a full push. Even more if your partner can move his Kubel to give you assist and recon.
If you can't shut it down early and not even with a fast 222, then just go full artyspam fest. Get a HT/FHQ(OKW)/bunker to get the reinforce in the front.
Snipers in general die to fast nowadays on teamgames. Soviet snipers are even easier to kill with indirect.
