Having had zero actual op experience as a sniper, and only 1 event as a DMR (where we did not get to even see the enemy!), I really don't know... yet.
I will say this, I do REALLY like the idea, even as a rifleman, of the ranger buddy- that other guy who works together with you, covers sides you cannot see, etc... that worked VERY well for me in the past. We use "medic" rules, so at the most basic level, it also helps a LOT.
So, having a rifleman spotter with an AEG would seem like a logical extension of that, especially in games with tactical objectives rather than simple "deathmatches", so to speak.
Also, having a spotter with an AEG would allow me to lighten my loadout, as I could take the bare minimum and let him worry about the AEG scenario in case the poop hits the fan.
I do have a buddy who has offered to do the spotter role for the next possible op, let's see how it goes...
