Not sniping at all as far as I'm concerned. Sniping should involve both stealth and accuracy not just some moron standing in the open firing pot shots. We weren't playing sim revolutionary war, it was supposed to be a tactical milsim with objectives.
I guess I'm bitching more about poor team balancing than anything.
In our case one side had all the snipers and they just stood in the open, out of range. They pretty much made their team ineffective as they were supposed to be assaulting a defended position and they couldn't assault with bolt action sniper rifles. So they went for targets of opportunity (basically our team members who got sick of waiting for them to attack and decided to charge them) until the remainder of the sniper's team got sick of getting wiped out when they assaulted and the entire team just quit playing and walked back to the vehicles. It was the lamest end to a "milsim" I have ever seen and I should have been happy as I was on the winning side. To me it just took all the sim out of milsim and basically wrecked the game. I guess we should have split the snipers up better to force the snipers to use stealth against each other and to give the sniper's team more assault capability.
All-important team balancing!
