The 55. cal Armor-Piercing Sniper can wipe out any single infantry soldier at long range. Squads can also be decimated if the enemy keeps them in the Sniper's range long enough. The sniper also sports good penetration against light armor.

The Sniper also possesses an ability that enables it to effectively engage vehicles the Critical Shot ability will either damage the vehicle's engine if it is a light/medium vehicle, and stun the crew if it is a proper tank. This makes it very effective in supporting friendly anti-tank assets.

Like Infantry sections with the proper upgrade, the 55. cal Armor-Piercing Sniper can also toss smoke flares to order a barrage from HQ's 25 pounders.
