Actually I kinda wanna disagree. I tried T1 with a sniper to countersnipe devm's sniper in OCF. The Soviet sniper team is extremely clumsy. The moment it steps out of cover it decloaks meanwhile its Ostheer counterpart can walk from one side of the map to another while beeing camouflaged. This means that the Soviet sniper is only able to countersnipe once you pushed your opponent back and set up an ambush. Which is rarely happening since you are short on infantry (maybe 2,3 cons against MG42, 3 Grens, Sniper) and give up a lot of early map control which you would have with a 3 Con T2 opening. Plus the danger of a 222 forces you to either pick a doctrine for guards or T2 for AT gun. If you just go AT nades you will be pushed back eventually.

I really wish that Soviet sniper was just one guy with decent camouflage for manouvering. Plus the spotter is super awkward since he shoots sometimes by himself, revealing the other sniper too. Good players can deal with Soviet sniper quite well to be honest.

I'm surprised I saw nobody attempt it. Maybe because building T1 for just 1 sniper is big resource sink
And you are putting your eggs in that basket unless of course you can snipe enough Gren's to make up for your own bleed. In a match today I landed a PM82mm mortar right on a Ostheer vet 0 full health sniper and sure enough he lived. His health Bar was so low that I could barely see any blue. Sad thing is Soviet squad would be wiped in same situation. Especially if sniper LEIG's are on field

So you want Ost fielding Panthers while Sov is fieldin t-34s? The Panzer V is a solid tank. I don't see why you're complaining.
