Official description

v2.x

Nothing much to tell about it. A Sniper is a Sniper. He can take out a whole enemy infantry squad one by one. Unfortunately it takes some time to target the enemy, so the Sniper has a quite large cooldown time. If placed in an IFV, he becomes the ultimate infantry killer. Fast, great range, ideal hit and run. Useless against vehicles and structures. If there is actually no IFV around, Sniper can help himself and surround with a sandbag like Allied G.I.s do. More careful targeting will allow him to reach further targets and eliminate them faster.

v1.2

Like the Tank Destroyer, many countries working with Great Britain decided to outfit their own units of Snipers. Nothing more to tell about it. A Sniper is a Sniper. He can take out a whole enemy infantry squad one by one. Unfortunately it takes some time to target the enemy, so the Sniper has a quite large cooldown time. If placed in an IFV, he becomes the ultimate infantry killer. Fast, great range, ideal hit and run. Useless against vehicles and structures.
