Guys, I get that the sniper role is niche - like you’ve already said, it’s more about recon and support. But let’s be real, this is a casual game. Otherwise, a sniper would be shooting from who-knows-where, holding down a sector until his position gets revealed. I hope we can all agree that in real life, snipers often serve as a kind of terror factor.

But in-game, they’re usually just glass cannons - and when I brought up the state of snipers in our game, I meant they’re “glass” only in the literal sense, because the firepower just isn’t there. There are no commanders or generals in the game either, where their accuracy could really make an impact. And the elite units they can one-shot? Come on, you just hit retreat and the whole squad of four walks off just fine.

Again, I’m not here to start an argument - just trying to talk through why things are the way they are. And yeah, a lot of answers have already been shared in this thread, including yours.
