Man you people are clueless.
Watch Paula play his typical 3 IS 1-2 Vickers 2 Snipers 2 AT Gun strat.
You literally can't use dedicated sniper hunter platforms (you know, the 222 that got buffed accuracy vs snipers SPECIFICALLY) because they get instantly critted, and then kited to death at max range.
I don't see how being able to hard counter your own hard counter is proper balance.
Y'all can bitch about the Brit sniper being "bad" but obviously top level Brit players disagree when they all get two snipers MINIMUM.
Thats different how to sniper behind grens or sniper behind guards/AT nade cons?
You don't really have snipers alone on the field.
You see two snipers, because only real alternative is dual bren on tommies. Sniper is also only way to crit vehicles for brits, yes there are "at" tommies, but their reliability leaves much to be desired, especially now that they are cannon fodder on preview.
