She's just meh compared to the other snipers. Not very interesting at all compared to the others. Her Ultimate accuracy potential isn't overly useful unless you're using E to C aim rifles, or trying to shoot the absolute smallest target at the very end.
What really made me write her off was that every mission I used her on in the first few levels of the game resulted in failure every time. And it all hinged on needing Marina at those moments. I associated both her and Oscar with failure. Cezary was the sniper that got it done. His flaws just serve to make him a more attractive character. Had Marina been a scout, I'd have liked her much better, but characterwise she's still meh. That's why I like what's been done with her in fanfiction by a few people. They make a meh character into something tantalizing.

The S20 gets the job done just the same, using the same technique with engineers even. But I don't aim for doing every mission in one turn by using just Alicia. I move my team as one mob, because that's what I just love to do. And for good measure I give those good Kars to the weaker scouts and engineers. Best I ever gave Alicia was the Kar 4. I think Nancy has the Kar 9. Before I had them though I just used the Gallian S series in the method you described Fallschirmjager.
It really just depends on preference and styles of play. Everybody like the Edelweiss, but I prefer the Shamrock. Mobility is my style.
