Super snipers???

True, but 'dealing with' in that example probably means forcing the sniper to relocate or pack it in for the day. It's unlikely to have actually hit him.

If you do want to take him out you have to plaster his area (hex) and get some footsoldiers (preferably with rifles) close to him at the same time. These have the thnakful job of spotting him (which usually means the sniper can spot them too) and 'dispatching him to elsewhere'.

Sniper in RL tend to be very conservative with their own life, they don't take many big chances and don't go on firing till they're taken out. They tend to get out when they suspect they may have been located (which isn't the same as spotted in the game!). Sniper units in the game rarely act like that. At least not in my experience, they seem to have 'last man standing' as their motto. Which is one of the reasons I try to minimise their presence in my games. I don't think they are modelled very accurately, which is probably due to the game specifics and mechanics (for example no officers or tankcommanders, etc to specifically target).
