sniper? Just manually click the Major for an atk target rather than firing at the whole squad.

Im not sure what you mean. All I know is when you manually click a soldier the sniper's next round will hit that target (unless it misses lol). IDK if this is a fact but it works for me everytime

What I'm asking is what is the best way to kill Danko when a sniper is not available. Isn't Danko's spotting range the same as a sniper's?

First off no, Danko's detection range is not equal to a sniper's firing range. That would be just plain OP.

Second I think any squad can direct fire by clicking on an individual soldier (although this is yet to be proven). Try it and see which guy dies first

As near as I can tell Danko never dies when I click on him. He dies all to quickly when the AI targets the squad though.

ive proven this, because i often use snipers in teams of three. if you select an individual unit with all three selected the three snipers will shoot that one unit. if you have hold fire turned off, there next rounds will hit any other units in the squad.
