Sniper (Red Alert 2)

During the Great World War III, the British Army called upon it's most skilled marksmen to answer the call to fight the Soviet agressors.

Armed with a high caliber, bolt-action, rifle, SAS Snipers were amongst the greatest infantry killers of the war, having an effective range far greater than that of standard infantry units, and even that of Yuri's specialized snipers, the Viruses. The Sniper was also a master of stealth, being able to kill enemy infantry at long range without revealing his position.

Unfortunately, though no infantry could survive being in a Sniper's sights for long, the round lacked the power to seriously damage vehicles or structures. Combined with the sniper rifle's slow rate of fire, the Sniper was disadvantaged in close-ranged firefights, or against vehicles.
