please fix snipers!!

[tardy comet]

I would like to see some more inclusion for snipers. The fact we can’t be the sniper when choosing recon is stupid and the limit to two with games of 100 people is insane. I just wanna be able to up my rank please

It's for balance and to prevent that half of the team is camping in the back and is just sniping. Thus adding, it's for realism, not everyone had a scope back then. But yes, the grind in this game is hard and it should be reduced a bit

[fast epoch]

If the game let the first player in be sniper they would lock the squad and run around being a useless single sniper to the team.

It’s called recon squad for a reason, not sniper squad. The job in game is to work as a two man team, roving behind enemy lines disrupting arty, destroying and marking Garries etc and providing information such as tank movements back to the SL chat.

It is not a role for some skill less random to lie in wait with a scope and attempt to rack up kills from range
and brag about their useless k/d ratio.

Recon squads are fine as is, is doesn’t need change just because someone coming from other fps games is having a whinge because they wanna play sniper and ‘it’s not fair’!

Yeah no

[vocal rapids]

cant play without a scope? is it just me or it sounds like skill issue

[balmy wedge]

The sniper should not be unlimited but Op is right, ATM the requirements to rank up the sniper class are simply absurd

[boreal summit]

*every class. That’s why I always just tell people to use Bob the builder. To get one class to level 10 it’s like 50+ hours of grinding

[faint estuary]

Bob the builder is great considering how extensive the grind is but right now, bob the builder server is dead

[slender narwhal]

They aren’t terrible as long as your really trying to get the role, I leveled mine up in like a week ish, but it really depends on your play style

[balmy wedge]

how much time do you have to play in a week?

[slender narwhal]

2 to 4 hours a day over that weekish time if I remember correctly, that was a boring week 😂

[mellow hedge]

ive been sniped more from MGs than literal snipers, along with every other gun but pistols, & i'll post up somewhere & snipe ppl with irons 100m away. everyone complains abt snipers just sitting but not every recon has to go behind, garry hunt, this that & the third. they should add more sniper classes since you can have as many buzzsaws, AT guns & satchels as you please

[sturdy raptor]

I thought the sniper class did not have a hammer. Am I wrong?

[balmy wedge]

snipers can run the truck

[carmine rapids]

TBH the best solution that no one has discussed is to either A. Up recon squads to two scoped rifles (1 SL with 2 snipers, or recon SL level 10 get's a Scoped G43/M1D/SVT-40) or B. Increase recon squad count to 3.

[sturdy raptor]

That's a good solution, or perhaps get rid of the spotter role altogether and just have two snipers per squad or give the spotter a sniper rifle. In WW2 it was very common to see sniper teams of two guys. The other sniper would act as a pseudo-spotter and pick up missed shots.
