What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
It would change DEA to have either a specific job for only 2 snipers as special agents with the requirement of having a marksman license (like every other marksman job) or it would remove snipers and leave them to NU-7.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
It would balance raiding as CI and make raids more dangerous and less boring as a whole for the Foundation. It would also make NU-7 more important as DEA is currently way stronger than an MTF unit which makes legitimately no sense.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
DEA will will not be able to perform as many feats of combat with the pure aggression and combative strength that they currently have against GOIs and will be a bit less efficient in firefights.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
It should be accepted because NU-7 has no real purpose anymore other than to sit and watch gate. They are far weaker than DEA and as an MTF unit that makes no sense. Additionally, DEA is supposed to be surface operations not the most aggressive front liners ever. The DEA is supposed to be tactical in spreading misinformation and dealing with info breaches as well as some field threats from different GOIs or sometimes anomalies. When DEA outclasses an MTF unit completely by having 8 snipers that one shot people or heavily damage SCPs it makes NU-7 the most useless group around.

-DEA are weirdly overpowered who were a regiment meant to merge B-1 and Intel
-There is no reason for them to be more powerful than Nu-7 and every other GOI on surface as a whole
-8 snipers is a fuckin stupid ass idea
-theres no reason for DEA to have 8 snipers and 13 drones

Feel like this post is made after receiving a sniper headshot. When balancing out you have to look at the whole picture, not at what you hate the most.

CI have Reality Benders, Juggernauts, Snipers, and the ghost r5 this seems like a stack of copium
CI have that to balance them out since they are highly outnumbered/outgunned. Foundation has significantly more people and it is almost always a 2-1 or more fight with foundation being the ones outnumbering CI.

So it is balanced to have one group outnumber the other 2-1 consistently and have significantly more powerful weapons/jobs? Yeahhhhhh... Totally.... lol. It takes 1 sniper to headshot a juggernaut 2-3 times and he is dead. 8 snipers+ for one group (dea and possible NU-7 backing them up in the fight) means you don't need accuracy and instead you just need to shoot randomly and the juggernaut and everything near him will be dead.

I know Content have discussed about this before - we are in discussion with DEA about this currently

I am unsure about the exact rate this has gone to - but i know there is something in the works

I have never seen more then 2 snipers in the watchtowers. Also you're implying the juggernaut is made out of stone it feels like. Let's not forget giving a headshot to moving targets is way harder then giving a headshot to someone standing idle or still in the watchtower.

+Support, Makes no sense that they should have MORE snipers than Nu-7, CI, and UNGOC Combined.
