Anyone else as frustrated with this class as I am?

They get like 3 steps until they are done moving and they usually never actually hit there target? What lvl do you need these guys at to actually be reliable?

Snipers are pretty useful, imo. If I ever use a sniper for a realllly important shot, I save before the shot in case they miss. I found that it's about a 1/3 chance of a hit.

I don't have much use with snipers. I prefer to use scouts instead, but for a couple missions you gotta have snipers. I agree, their aiming does suck, they miss like 80% of the time, until you get a B-rank gun. Then they are useful.

idk wat ur saying. you all need to stop scamming ppl. i had oscar overlook the supply base for the operation in the kloden wildwood (ch5) and he hit 3 headshots in a row

Just to throw in my 2 penneth worth, I love the snipers in this game, I use the maximum accuracy sniper rifle avalible through R&D and the ability to execute head shots on a target who is just a dot in the distance to other troops is extremely satisfying.

Did you know that the longest sniper kill in history is 1.51 miles by a US marine sniper in Afganistan in 2002. Oscar would scoff at that shot

As always, its just a case of knowing when to use them.

lets not forget the order "concentrate fire" lol with the right set of orders snipers can kil off even tanks across the map with one or 2 hits

Once my sniper class was level 5, Oscar rarely missed. I don't care how many people say the snipers are bad early on, he wasn't on my save.

Could have been luck on my part or it may have been my strategies, don't know, and don't care, I just know he was lethal early in the game. However not one other sniper did well even with better weapons and higher levels just Oscar.

Well, I usually always had a sniper in the group simply because I can usually get a one shot kill. The first couple missions, they were not that helpful. But when there aim C or better, they were very helpful for me in order to get the one annoying enemy...

I love the snipers. They are my ace in he hole! I just wish Oscar hadn't died! T.T

He is pretty good from what I remember...
