Even so, the random death to a nearby mortar is very likely for ost players, and not so for soviet snipers. When I play as soviet I love using snipers because I know I will have them all game. When I play as Ost I almost never go sniper because it is to RNG dependent whether he survives into the late game.
The Soviet sniper is already a soft counter to the Ost sniper (possibly even a hard counter, especially when in an armored car), why does the Ost sniper also feel very vulnerable to everything else?
I have
never had a game where an Ost sniper made it past the 20 minute mark. You have to baby sit him at all times and when you start having a lot of units to micro he will end up dead meat.
This is a much bigger problem with soviet snipers as they are less susceptible to dying to RNG because of the 2 man squad (which also gives them the advantage in countersniping, which I wouldn`t consider to be countering btw, it`s building the same kind of unit)
2 man sniper squads should just not exist! If they had it so one man could only shoot the sniper and the other purely spotted this would be fine
