Nope, that is not correct.
Snipers are concerned with self preservation first, they are no longer a force multiplier if they are dead.
Always the first priority is the target that is the highest threat to the sniper team himself. If there is a sniper present, he's considered the highest threat. Then it becomes a judgement call. The two other big ones that rank up there as a threat to a sniper is a machine gun crew and a radio man. Radio because of arty. If those are not a threat, then you can select your targets of opportunity like officers, nco's, etc.
A tactic I've always thought was useful was to shoot the RTO and no one else. But anytime someone tried to get the radio, shoot him. Pretty soon no one will ever want to carry a radio in the field.
