I am really hoping for either bipods or the just ability to steady weapons on cover/windowsills. It is a little silly that laying on the open roof is more effective than using a sniper tower or defensive fortification. In a real life situation (assuming a sniper had to set up using a window or low cover) they would rest the rifle on the cover to steady it, using a bipod if they have one. If I was in an urban environment as a marksman I would much rather stand inside by a window leaning against the wall to steady my aim, as opposed to climbing on the roof and laying down. Just a small decrease in scope sway when aiming over/through certain types cover (such as the walls of a prefab watchtower, or the window of a house) would be nice. Because right now fortifications are kind of detrimental to the defenders. While they are protected from gunfire, attackers (who can be prone in the distance) are able to put much more accurate fire on the defenders when they peek out to shoot. Which is why if I'm defending against anyone at a range farther than 200m I leave the cover made for me so I can lay down on the ordinary ground.

(Copy pasted from my thread) Ability to steady primary weapon on cover/fortification? This is more of a suggestion for future features I guess. Why can't you rest your weapon on cover to stable it? Many of the watchtowers and pre-fab barracks have short cover on their roofs to protect infantry on them, but the cover only hampers snipers. In order to get the steady scope that snipers need, they need to go prone. But going prone is not an option because you can't see over the cover! Same goes for sniping out of windows In order to aim over the wall one needs to be in a standing crouch position. But this position is hardly better than standing and makes long range sniping hard.
