Giving them a sniper makes them more OP and less unique. Look at the blitzkrieg mod for example. Gameplay value is reduced since all factions even though had more units, was more redundant. For example, all 4 factions had a infantry HMG and a Sniper unit. That made the uniqueness of the factions lowered to 0. What was the point? PE was no longer unique compared to Wehr, basically mirrored but small changes. Play blitzkrieg was like playing mirror matches, which isn't good. Why did it seem like mirror matches? Adding too much things doesn't always mean its better. Adding a sniper to the CM is one of them.
