I think many of us have a tendency to select Low-Light because he was the first Joe (yes, I know Scarlett was a qualified sniper (allegedly - the USMC does NOT train women to be snipers), but it wasn't her specialty).
.....
If we can take the lack of the need of a spotter as some indication of a higher skill level among snipers, it would appear to me that Low-Light and Barrel Roll may be the best sharpshooters on the Joe Team. What do you guys think?
I also view Barrel Roll and Low-Light as the better among the best but I kinda view that all the Joe snipers are so proficient and deadly that they all operate without spotters. That's why they are Joe's.
Also I would assume that any one rated as a sniper in the Joe can and often get sent out by themselves.
Barrel Roll: I use him as a covert ops agent and sniper. Often sent by himself. He is also attached to my paraglider unit.
Crosshair: I don't use Tiger or Night Forces. But reading his filecard and the story about sniping CLAWS Commander just makes him seem too badass to need a spotter.
Hollow Point: Very excellent point. In my Joeverse, even though he taught a certain way prior to Joes and when training Joe per his filecard, he operates differently in the field as sniper. I use him with my marine unit almost exclusively. I don't use him as a helicopter pilot and I use his locust as a swamp buggy. As far as helicopter recon, I use him as an onboard sniper... making a case for no spotter.
Low-Light: nuff said.
