prev patch when it was available sov sniper was bleeding al oponents just fine.
But now with no possibility to rush T4 you must choose T2 or T1 (alternative chioce is T3 units or T1). The choice of T1 is worst of all most of the time so no sniper for sov in this game.
I don't really understand what really changed for Sov Snipers in your statement.
- You always had to build T1 or T2, now you have to build T3 too, then T4 ( T3 is cheap, with really strong units inside, where is the prob ?)
Elaborate why T1 is not strong against OKW, i dont understand you, Guards, AT Nades and 5 min into Quad then Su 76 is all what you need for early / Mid AT
Then you can still Build T2, no one forbid you to do so
