There are only a few examples I'm aware of where sniper's worked in teams or groups in WW2. The British deployed a line of snipers to slow the advance of the Germans into Dunkirk. Russia did the same in Stalingrad. The French resistance also used this tactic. A rather famous Russian sniper named Zeitsev came up with the pairs idea of snipers and spotters. He used 3 pairs of snipers(called the 6's) spread out with overlapping view points to cover large areas. Zeitsev's tactics have been taught in sniper schools for years.
There is a famous story about Zeitsev being targeted by the Germans because of his fame(over 400 confirmed kills). Supposedly the director of the Berlin sniper training school was sent to take him out. After 3 days of maneuvering for position Zeitsev killed the German. This story has never been verified even though it was included in a movie called Enemy at the Gates. It could have been Russian propaganda.
I can't see the need to implement some 20 sniper death match thing in this game. That sounds to me more like paint ball war. Modern sniper teams use 4 to 6 guys but then that is not WW2.
