For. Soldier to follow up is pretty hard. However, if heavies do 4, all u need is a runner!

Also if u mobi a sniper the mobi is already in danger, why would mobiing a heavy be any different?

Because it's so much easier to defend a mobi-sniper and it's also harder to defend against, as it can shoot from a ranged distance. You have to be in melee range to mobi-heavy, and the only time I see that is in a reaper rush.

You can mobi the heavy then move forward 2 spaces with the heavy, making the attach range the same distance as a sniper if it didn't move. You would also have a tank and 1 extra damage.
Anyway, being able to pick off a base with a runner is pretty much an instant lose. Heavies also take a lot of wits to kill. If you are massing soldiers, you need 3 for a buffed heavy = 6-1 wits. That's a whole turn gone, with your soldiers out of position.
