Since everyone here seems to have some epic problem with the soviets having a viable unit, nay I say highly effective unit; let me list a number of thing that make me swear while using snipers.
If you effectively use any of the following, you will beat any sort of sniper spam.
Mortar half tracks - they rock at killing snipers, or at a bare minimum, they keep them stuck in unfavourable positions.
Kubel - Snipers cannot kill them without support.
222 Scout Car - If they have snipers, and haven't gotten guards out yet and this thing hit the field, it can literately chase them into spawn and kill them all. If they do have guards, use the auto cannon upgrade and ruin the guards at a distance. With the new grouping changes this thing can stand up to guards (I know this sounds ridiculous, but please try it).
Rifle grenades - They one shot kill sniper squads.
Jaeger - Or any other call in infantry that enters a building. I cant count how many times a good German player will use these to have infantry show up right beside my snipers, and then proceed to murder them.
Now moving on to my next point. Conscripts are not as good as Grenadier or Volks right? no there not. Therefore we should nerf Grenadiers and Volks right? no, no we shouldn't. Soviet snipers are supposed to be better then German snipers, that's part of the design, just like Grenadiers and Volks are better then conscripts.
Man you are kidding.
1,Pls stop talking that Mortar HT can counter snipers. Mortar HT's incendiary is not that accurate and it is a good counter to static team weapons but a bad counter to snipers and rifle infantry.
2,Kubel never works well against Soviet T1.
3,222 sounds like a good counter to snipers but considering mines and guards , it is always a fuel wasting , maybe it happens just after it hits the field , maybe a few seconds later.
4,Rifle grenades, A well-micro player won't let this happen.
5,Call in infantry. This will acoording to commanders. It limits the tactics of German army.
Maybe conscripts can be buffed, since cons are the main troops. Snipers should be a support unit but now it is a main role unit due to bad design of Relic.
