Snipers

[Ashcloud]

Is it just me or are snipers very weak. Surely every time they fire they should cause disruption or damage? They should also be very hard to spot, I can understand having a very low defence value but the snipers in this game don't seem to be able to hit a barn door from 20 paces.

I have always been fascinated by sniper warfare and feel some interesting scenarios could be create with snipers if they had a bit more power (and maybe saboteurs and resistance).
