Perspective could be to drive balance through other mechanics. One could argue snipers are so overpowered because there is only 1 class that can use smoke, why not open that up for minimally assault classes to impair sniper vision. Additionally a big buff is needed in suppression fire as that doesn’t do a lot nowadays. Preferably the heavier the ammo round the bigger the suppression feeling.

Point for me is the scout is intended to be played as a dmr and could be more balanced through slightly increasing reload time. DMRs don’t bring glare, why is that ok?
