They're mid-range, slow-firing, not huge damage, so they're more of a harassment tool than anything else. However, when they do hit a target, the "unit sniped" icon pops up, letting your opponent know something is in the area.
Thoughts? One primary issue can be for newer players who, unfamiliar with the game may actually be looking for snipers and not realize these crossbows are an upgrade. Also, blobbing these and parking them in an enemy base to demolish retreating units could be very nasty and very hard to counter.
Still don't know if the CoH engine allows firing without breaking stealth feature..
