Default Snipers

In a lot of countries, snipers are all the same with a range of 15 (-> 750m),
I have not tried every country but it appears that France (obat 6) is the only (or one of the only) country to dispose of a long range sniper with the Fr F2 which range is of 29 if I'm not wrong (if I'm, the range is far greater than other sniper guns either)...
It doesn't give me any problem but I just want to know why other countries have not their long range sniper in OOBs...

I believe that the US has longer range snipers.

Default Re: Snipers

There are a number of other nations that use a .50cal type sniper rifle. USA, USMC, Canada, Netherlands, Norway, Turkey, Greece to name a few. Look for "Hvy Sniper" in most. In the French OOB they are known simply as "sniper". It's difficult to keep everyone using the same terminology. In the Turkish OOB they are named "M82 Cdo Sniper" and in the Greek OOB they are "O.Y.K. Hvy snpr"
