Tricks of Trench Warfare (2020)

Suppressors, not shooting fake targets (spotter optics, possibly IR), having multiple snipers coordinate so they can fire a single round each all at the same time and go somewhere else before they get shot at. The last is probably the most important.

I don't understand how suppressors would work against figuring out the elevation angle of a sniper shot.

Likewise, wouldn't multiple snipers all firing on the same fake target simply give away the number of snipers and all of their individual elevations?

I think the multiple snipers each fire at separate targets. One sniper per target. All at once, everyone fires (killing any threats), then running like hell before someone else jumps up and grabs a gun.

How would you figure out the elevation angle of a sniper's shot? It's not like you can do forensics when you are being shot at.
