Oh, yes.  Thank you for pointing out that clarification.  Now it’s as clear as the blue sky above Normandy.

@killercelery:

you explained it yourself.

Read carefully:

T-26 : Face-up Disrupted counters aren’t removed from this unit at the beginning of the casualty phase

Sniper : This counter isn’t removed at the beginning of the next casualty phase.

I was going to make this exact point but KC beat me to it. Thanks for being quick on the draw.

I do my best

No the +1 does not apply to the headshot ability.  It is not a normal attack, there fore its just a standard role

this clears it up completely.  I figured that the ability was way to powerful

The Avalon Hill website has the answer in the FAQ.

[General Di Caro]

From Avalon Hill FAQ

Wehrmacht Expert Sniper says,
“Crack Shot — This unit gets +1 on each attack die.
Superior Camouflage — While this unit has cover, enemy units can’t attack this unit at medium or long range.
Headshot — Once per game, instead of attacking a Vehicle, you may roll six attack dice. If you roll three or more successes, put a face-up Disrupted counter on that Vehicle. This counter isn’t removed at the beginning of the next casualty phase.”

Q: Does the Crack Shot ability apply to Headshot?
A: Yes. The Crack Shot ability modifies attack dice, so the Wehrmacht Expert Sniper rolls successes on a 3 or higher.

Q: Does “have cover” mean that the Sniper has to succeed at a cover roll to get the Superior Camouflage ability?
A: No. A unit “has cover” just by being in hex filled with defensive terrain. This means that a Sniper with Superior Camouflage can’t be attacked directly at medium or long range while it’s in a forest, hill, marsh, or town hex.
