Moving around the battlefield picking targets of opportunity, is a genuine way of Sniping. The current Yo-Yo effect of the Scope makes this nearly impossible to do effectively, and is sad, because nothing is more spectacular than seeing a good sniper Dynamically sniping at mid-range. Now that we have this wonderful aim-assist-bot, can you remove the Yo-Yo effect from the Scope ? please ? |

We use to have that, but that Skill was remove. But i can't see why we can have it again, now that all the Scrubs are using the aim-assist, only REAL snipers are sniping. |

i think this would be a good place for the tac sniper to shine
its marker should be decreased damage for greatly increased stability for dynamic sniping like this. |

I agree, the Tactical Sniper Rifle should fulfill this role. It already have only 3 bullets, and lower damage per bullet than the standard rifle. Just remove the yo-yo effect form the TAC CCP. |

If you like the Sniping right now, is because you like sitting in the red-line or in a hill ( Static Sniping ).
I like hunting my targets, and providing mid-range support to my team ( Dynamic Sniping ). |

The reason I use the Kaalakiota Tactical Sniper Rifle is to replace, what once was, my main weapon. A Glu-5 tactical (or duvolle). I wouldn't count on those weapons filling your void. 8) |

The Kaalakiota TAC is a beautiful weapon, i recently started to use it myself. But it just needs that scope movement to be reduce a little bit, and it will be the perfect "Hunting Rifle" |

Flying helps, and shooting parallel to roads and main pathways.
Yes, i know all that. But how many clear shoots you have missed because it takes long to stabilize your aim ? It should be more "Dynamic" ;
Sprint, active track, kneel ,scope, track, shoot
or
Sprint, stop, scope, track, shoot |

So you should welcome a more Dynamic role for the TAC Sniper Rifle. You can use the standard one for long range support, and the TAC for cover and suppression. |

Wait... Maybe i'm misunderstanding but the guys who run around the field want better stability then the guys who stay in one place? Unless you guys are talking about recovery per shot* if TAC snipers got such a nice little buff their range would have to be decreased or at the very least they should have a bigger damage fall-off**.
*don't really know what to call it so i'll stick with recovery after shot or per shot **don't misunderstand a very shallow and empty idea
I personally believe the snipers are fine the way they are now and shouldn't be messed with, aside from the cr*ptastic scopes. |

I was talking about the time it takes from the moment you STOP to the moment you SHOOT. If you aim is "very good" you can land a shoot in about 2 seconds, with lots of aim corrections. But if you wait for your aim to stabilize first, can take as long as 4 or 5 seconds to land a shoot... and that is... very ridiculous. |

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! |

The way I wish to see the sniper weapons eventually being laid out is:
Cal Sniper Rifle - High power, high range, low RoF. Good for delivering long range hits (your static sniping)
Minmatar Precision Rifle - Lower power, lower range, higher RoF. Good for shorter range, quick sniping (your dynamic sniping)
Cal Tac Sniper Rifle - Cal variant mimicking the Precision Rifle (similar to the ARs) |

I long range snipe when the situation calls for it but I find it much more enjoyable to snipe in mid range and even CQC as it adds that "Oh SH*T" feel to it. I can't stand the TAC rifle as I can't rap my mind around sacrificing both damage AND clip size just to get off that 2nd shot sooner. I run around with the ADV SR and tend to find myself making heavies panic in CQC as I tactically swap between my rifle and my SMG (Quick shot, swap, spray a few rounds while backing up, swap, quick shot, take cover, HEAD SHOT)
Personally I just want the scope's initial zoom to be on point instead of looking at the sun or trying to find my feet. I mean, you already aim down center while hip-firing so why not while aiming
To those who want to say "This isn't CoD" I say to you... Would you rather me redline snipe you?
`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST. |

One person could use the sniper like an AR effortlessly. Just one.
But he got tired and took a nap. Sleepy Zan. |

I don't saying is impossible, you can actually predict the scope movement as you zoom. With practice is possible to land shoots in 1 second, and that is when moving too. I already done that few times. I just want it to be a bit easier.... |

OHHH. That's the "recovery" I mentioned. What CCP could do is lower it to make it barely non-existent but decrease DMG and RNG on TAC snipers. It'd be like a TACAR but with less recoil, higher DMG, more RNG, less ammo, and a lower ROF. One paper it sounds the same but the thing it's being compared to isn't the TAC but the regular snipers. Can't shoot faster and deal less damage without losing range and gaining speed. |

It's pretty useful for counter sniping and killing medium suits. Since the regular snipers, and very rarely the charge, won't OHK infantry and sometimes you need the next few shots off quicker with little correction before your intended target gets to cover.

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!

That's why i like the TACSRs for. It's less SP sink and more of an ammo sink to kill people. But I agree snipers are pretty underpowered and that's why you don't really see them as much unless there's someone in a logi fit. |

Dynamic sniping is terrific. I think I am causing fear at mid-range because the enemy does not expect a sniper in those encounters, oh, but we are there...waiting. |

Firstly, it's been a few builds since I watched my girlfriend closely enough to see how well Snipers handle sway at high levels, but I know with Sniper Rifle Operation leveled up, you could pretty sharply reduce scope sway in the past. As in practically zero sway even while standing at level 5.
If that's no longer the case, at least crouching still makes a HUGE difference. |

The mid-range shoot and scoot style may be impacted by more than the dynamics of the weapons. Would it be worth while to think about that when looking at weapon changes?
I'm not really a sniper but yesterday I had a sniper fit and came on an enemy sniper from behind at about 10 meters. I crouched, aimed down sight -- his head filled the center of the screen -- and my first shot missed. I killed him with the second. |
