Since we are more or less on the topic here, what do you all think about snipers? Do you put them into battle at all?

hell yeah I do, because the maps are so small by area, you can call one out whenever and take out 3 guys easily and have engi give the sniper more ammo if required, they are pretty much god in these small fields 1-2 shotting stuff and even damage tanks if you go in that tree with one of them. The problem is of course the mobility, but it's not like you can't just retreat them whenever.

..or hospitalize them whenever... the HP of snipers is a joke.  Leaving them to open fire or trying to sneak past bunkers is a bloody challenge bound to fail. And maybe you know how come they have so few AP? I mean it doesn't take THAT much effort to carry a sniper rifle does it? :D
