So, newly coming into Aroadna, as I wish to play it through Season 10, I am curious about the thoughts people have about these two weapons? Both look interesting to play with to be certain!
T2 sniper kinda beats both, oh yes, it's also cheaper :D Most HI will only have like 5-10% better chance to pass armor roll compared to AP sniper, but 1 failed roll and they go unconscious which is huge! Wanna engage TAG, why bring ap sniper/ojotnik when you have Autocannon or AP HMG...
The decision depends on the use you intend for it. Ojotnic on the Specialist to get up close and personal. AP Sniper for counter Sniper and long range support.
In my Vanilla Ariadna Lists I usually end up with neither. As already said, T2 Sniper is better against most targets you‘d want to either actively engage or ARO on. Additionally, a Cateran is much more expendable than other units being irregular and limited camo. If I had to bring a Scout with either weapon into a list: Ojotnik because its 0 SWC and can be on a specialist or well protected LT.
