Ya , that ' s how it is for me . Probably because it takes place on a different planet , so you don ' t have the same postsocietal collapse thing going for it . <| sep |> I feel ya . I ' m so attached to Kanata that I can ' t bring myself to change the flair to 707 <| sep |> Their longe range makes them able to stay out of most of the danger for long . They are indeed paper thin , the dude can be killed by sneezing at him , but he ' s seriously strong if you enemy is bad at microing . The Sniper ' s great for picking off unmicro ' d weapon crews , because the enemy doesnt see your sniper as clean as maybe a Universal Carrier approaching his weapon crew . His slow rate of fire , however , makes him notsogreat for anything other than picking off unmicro ' d squads . He ' s got an ability to take down the enemy armor ' s engine , but this only works if the armor is close enough , in which case your sniper probably is either dead or in cover
