I've come to a conclusion - My sniper is cursed,

And thus doomed to a ridiculous death every game. Here are some of the pure awful luck that has happened to him lately, most of the deaths are before he even makes his presence known;
-Walked on top of a mine in the first 20seconds of gameplay, before even see'ing an enemy.(happens a second time, late into a different game, but still before he gets to fire)
-Hit and crushed by an out of control sherman, which explodes on top of him just to make sure.

-Enemy fires one mortar shot into the fog of war, you know where it lands? (hadn't used him yet)
-I go to fire a shot as 3-4 jeeps come through the fog of war directly at him (this was his first shot, the jeeps weren't to counter my sniper. They came out just as he raised his rifle.)
-fire two shots at medium range to an enemy sniper being assaulted by a motor bike...Both are about 10 feet off. While being shot, the enemy turns to me and blows my head off. (no vet on either of us)
-Fire a single shot, instantly an ATG shot comes out of the Fog of War and hits him directly.
-the ever so elegant, accidently walk into cloaked enemy sniper and miss 3 shots in a row.
It never fails, something extraordinary always ends his life. Never has it been a group of rifleman chasing him down. What must I do to break the curse?!
