Check the stats. There's a huge difference between a marksman and an elite sniper. Accuracy, range, HE kill and FC are all different.

Snipers are very exensive. If you're suffering heavy casualties you're probably dealing with them the wrong way. I rarely suffer significant losses vs snipers and the more expensive types of snipers never kill their own points worth of my troops. Those are very expensive units.

And as to the effectivenes of snipers vs entrenched troops, they are likely to suffer LESS from the enemy being entrenched than just about any other type of unit.

Snipers aren't unbalanced, they just take skill to deal with (as in RL btw).

Huh, what Was I supposed to do besides firing at them, having an entrenched defense vs "human wave" like attack ? Yep I put smoke in the way and arty on them, ot was rather ineffective...
Granted they're expensive, but they could be twice the price and twice as effective, they will be just more unbalanced !
And I concur that my guys could get repeatedly hit from an hidden enemy, the problem here is that the snipers were spotted quite early, and yet unsuppressed by a full platoon fire ... That's the problem !
