Apparently anti-T3/T4 sniper, but for 25k metal, it deals mere ~900 dmg per second with ~1300 range. That's far from stopping T4 units unless you spam 300k metal worth of them, and T4 units will actually out-range him.

To balance, pump range up to 2000-2100 or double the damage. Or make it cost ~13k metal.
I almost never see this unit used with TLL because of how expensive it is for very little gain. You'd rather use T2/T2.5 snipers.

EDIT: after testing them last game I'd say they're not really downpowered. I didn't know about this huge 30k vs. experimental.

Though they could use a longer range. 1800?

Who kill big, kill small..
Let 30k damage for every target (except commander) ~12k damage (chance to survive if star or supreme commander).

Problem is if u make it more effective: t3 spam becomes useless, because u cant kill t3 with scouts. So you just have to have more t3 snipers than the attacker.
If u give him that range i will just spam them.

I think 20 pewee can easely kill a T3 Sniper.
Now, it's 22k metal, so you can try to spam them. Opponents could adopt other strategy like def nuke, air bombs, Nuke Mines...
I think the problem is the hero range. Reduce a little the range (principal weapon) in order to have same range with T3 sniper.

+1 Hero Range.
