Nothing will change at all at this point.
Snipers in BF1 are too easy to use, mainly because of the sweetspot mechanics (which I think it is bad). The bullet velocity is high as well and this makes it easier to predict/hit targets at range (which I actually like more than the pea-shooters in BF4). But this all means that too many players play recon in BF1 and you have to deal with them a lot.
Being spotted "all over the map" is a downside that comes with 3D-spot.
In reality map-knowledge and moving behind cover/terrain is the only way of avoiding getting sniped and it's not impossible at all (on most maps).
For me planes(bombers)/silent vehicles/cavalry/special classes are more annoying than sniper-rifles...
Meh, it definitely is part of the game.
Snipers can be dealt with. They can be spotted in bf1 and have glinting scopes. For infantry, snipers in the game help teach you to move with cover or die out in the open. Support with a 1917 specialized with pin down and unbreakable can make snipers lives miserable forcing them to get spotted, move, keep their heads down or die. Horses can run out and have a field day as snipers sit back and are the worst class to be isolated against a horse. Tanks can spot snipers all over and hmg them from a distance.
There are plenty that like playing snipers and its important that the game balances for snipers so they dont become too op.
