Default Re: Hit percentage rant

Snipers ARE incredibly useful.
But keep in mind giving people a sniper rifle does not make them a sniper.
The rifle is a tool, the person with the aptitude to become a highly-trained sniper (reflected in the +5 to +10 FC/RF) is the part that really counts.
And no army in the world has as many snipers as they would like.

Look at the American Sgt York in WW I, he wasn't a "sniper", just a guy with a standard issue M1903 Springfield rifle. Yet his personal skills made him as (or more) effective then any "sniper".
