I could make a much more balanced Omaha (easy, remove the single choke point in the bunker and reduce the bomb target to one instead of two - Axis rarely defend the objective until the Allies take out one target, then they just sit back and soak it up - too easy).

But to reduce sniper effectiveness would be really hard. Only viable way would be to make the beach and MG42 bunkers out of visual range of eachother (either by fog or distance).

If you do that you will automatically remove the realism of the map as the boats were clearly visible to the MG42s on that day.

I'd gladly create a storming the beach map that was not historically correct and I'd be able to make it balanced but I couldn't recreate Omaha to make snipers ineffective without butchering the original concept.

The thing is, on D-Day, not everyone was armed with a sniper rifle.
