Other than that snipers has no use. Not about their competence.

Have to disagree here. Like any class the ability to perform their role was important. In open field scenarios snipers had many roles, e.g., taking out CE from a distance, taking down enemies making their way across terrain and also taking out other snipers who were doing the same. Other roles such as lighting up hidden AMSes for OS targeting, bomb drops were also important, i.e., useful, as was the ability to take down cloaked infils moving at speed. Even combat sniping, (no-scoping) in indoor fights was useful. Your one example of how you 'successfully' used a sniper was not a typical example of how I would employ a sniper but it is one example of how they can be useful,
but not the only example of how they can be used effectively.
