I could agree with the ranges being balance, but then why does the AI have more range then the player does, great ideas on balance, when all it needed was some programming skills

which yes, agree that a scope will cut down on what you can see (which may be why they are makeing 4X the standard, instead of the good scopes that take skill to use, and which is also why, Sniper normally work in teams, one is a spotter and defender, while the other is the shooter)

Helmut cut down on sight ? how and why ?, which again, most Snipers do not wear helmuts, they add weight to the head, they are hot and a pain in the butt, but how do they effect sight ? unless they fall off your head

Ya they drop it to 140-150 degrees, They also give you a hearing penalty. Most of the rifles have that kinda sight angle as well, The rifles with scopes like the G36 and the L85A have a sight angel of 100 and 40 respectfuly. The Sniper rifles however are around 40, The M24 has a sight of only 25 degrees.

During a load screen, they have little tips about the gameplay. One time, it said that "Sometimes a merc will complain about not being able to see the target. You can order that merc to fire anyway. You're in charge, right?"

So this may explain what is going on with the fact that sometimes when a merc cannot get a good LOS on a target, you can make them fire anyway by clicking on the target.

Yes, I do this alot. If I feel there is an unobstructed los I make the merc fire. I also use the snipers to spot targets far away and the other guys shoot at them even though they cannot see them due to range and many times they score hits/kills especially with machine guns.
