You shouldn't have selected a position that shoots into the sun anyway So you deserve to be caught or shot by the enemy. :bsmilie: Ok. Just kidding. Not wishing anybody to die.

Yes, there should not be any chance of reflection from a prepared sniper position. However, snipers do need to move into position...:sweat:
