Sniper/Spotter Rule

[Raellus]

AFAIK, there is no official rule in v1.0 or v2.2 for improving a shooter's to-hit number if he/she is assisted by a dedicated spotter.

In watching bits of numerous "Top Sniper" type shows over the last couple of years, it is clear that most snipers train to operate with a dedicated spotter. The spotter assists the sniper in numerous ways. IMHO, PCs assisted by spotters should receive some sort of bonus to hit.

The v2.2 rules, at least, have rules for improving indirect fire if a spotter with eyes on the target call for corrections. I think that a similar rules should be applied to snipers acting with a spotter.

Perhaps, after a miss, a -1 TO HIT adjustment could be made for each correction called for a sniper. Perhaps the bonus could be adjusted according to the spotter's small arms or observation skill levels.

I'm trying this out right now in the game I GM. Two snipers are working together to spot targets and I figured they could help each other improve the accuracy if their shots if one of them did the shooting while the other observed and called out corrections.

Your thoughts?
