Default Re: Super snipers???

Tank main guns and mg's aren't all that effective against snipers so I'm not surprised. Open terrain still offers lot's of places for a single man to hide or find cover. It's not a completely flat field 50 metres across. And a 1-foot rise in terrain or obstacle of that height can give enough cover for one man. And a foreign legion sniper (or any superelite sniper) can be expected to know his hiding.

I don't like snipers because they are too powerful, I don't like them because it can get to be a drag taking them out. The occasional one in a game I don't mind, but not too many please.
I've rarely encountered an enemy sniper though doing his point cost worth of damage. But it takes an effort and certain techniques to take them out at low cost, hence the drag I mentioned cause these take time and can seriously slow down a game.
