If BARs and M1s are just as easy as the Springfield, then you would have to disable them too, no?
No snipers makes Omaha more fun? To whom, the Axis?
Here is the way I usually see it happen: The Allies keep getting mowed down by the MG42s, eventually they get sick of it, so some switch to snipers and pick off the gunners, then the Germans start complaining about how snipers are 'gay' and ruin the game.
I almost never play sniper. Usually SMG or MG or M1, especially on realism. Sometimes I use others for fun or strategic reasons. In one recent Omaha game, I was using MG most of the time, even destroyed one of the guns. When the Germans started continually mowing us down with MG42s (their idea of a fun game) I switched to sniper and suppressed them. Then they said that I was 'gay' and I ruin the game.
Why is it that they consider the MG42s fair but not snipers? I asked a complainer this question and he said 'because they didn't have them in the REAL battle.' My response: 'Oh, but they DID have magic health packs?' He said snipers ruin the whole point of the game. My response: 'the purpose is to HAVE FUN!'
I don't understand why we can't just go into a game to have fun. It always has to turn into name calling and complaining. Well, I think I do know why. Because these are little immature kids. There is no way to fix that.
I do agree with many of Johner's points. However, as I see it, the problem is immature players who can't handle not having their way. They want to keep sticking their head out and not be shot. No exaggeration.
