      This tread has to do with the fact that US infantry has no spotter, unless they pay 4 cp to get rangers. it makes no sense to have to get rangers to get a spotter squad to support your riflemen. Going the replacement depo line of unlocks makes no sense b/c 1 sniper can suppress and upgraded infantry blob. Smoke is only a partial solution, bc all to often it stops you from seeing other things moving into position, plus having to constantly spend munitions on smoke to temporarily negate a unit is just silly. If i could get a spotter units, 1st inf division that unlocks with repple depple or rapid deployment, that would be great, just to spot mortars and snipers and counter-arty them, or fire some targeted smoke/nades.

      I would like the spotting ability of armor docs command half-track to get sniper range as well, for the same reason: way to easy for snipers and mortars to strip US tanks of their infantry support. With more range you can at least answer with calliope or  mortar halftrack.

      Realistically, axis snipers usually did a lot of damage to US platoons and columns, but there are multiple stories of spotters, or even men with binoculars spotting snipers calling in arty, mortars, tanks, you name it and killing them.

      Good point, btw, we plan to nerf the snipers for the next patch, speciall regarding the distance. We are working on a good solution.
