its marker should be decreased damage for greatly increased stability for dynamic sniping like this. Please don't. The stability is fine as it is, as long as you crouch and skill up proficiency. I already need to land 8 hits and do two reloads and need up to 16 seconds to kill a heavy. As long as he keeps standing still in one spot and doesn't use any reppers.
And that's with a proto sniper rifle. They need to do more damage! |

With full sniping proficiency, 3 complex damage mods, fully charged proto sniper rifle (less zoom!) and 1 reload, you can take down everyone in 4 charged hits!
Of course you also need a proto logi suit to fit it.
I think sniper rifles are underpowered. It's crazy to see how much SP and ISK you have to sink into sniping, but still need 4 shots to kill one infantry. With a tactical proto sniping rifle, you need to land 8 shots, which takes at least 16 seconds ang gives anyone plenty of time to run (or even waddle) for cover. Proto sniping rifles need a boost!

There's currently a problem with sniping hit detection. You see a blue flare, but the shot does no damage. I've heard from somebody testing this and apparently it occurs with ca. 15% of the shots. I see it happen all the time.
This really needs to be fixed - sniping is hard enough as it is! |

I haven't seen a real Thale in my life. Well, my lives don't last very long. :) But I'm a dedicated sniper and would love to try one out, to see what it's all about. |

"it's only wasted ammo if you didn't get the kill"
I'd like to see a more hard-core sniper rifle: more zoom, MORE SWAY, only one bullet. But if you manage to hit someone, it's pretty sure that he'll wake up in the CRU.
A breathing mechanic would be nice, too! |
