or at least increase the skill strength that counters it

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.

CCP sniping is fine, please do not change it. all i would like to see is the targets that im following to stop disappearing.

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)

Sprint, active track, kneel ,snipe. track, sprint, etc.

Flying helps, and shooting parallel to roads and main pathways.

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 way i snipe depends on the role i play in the squad, and no i do not redline snipe

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.

We use to have that, but that Skill was remove.

One person could use the sniper like an AR effortlessly. Just one.

But he got tired and took a nap. Sleepy Zan.

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 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.

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!

Thales needs a nerf.

hmm, my least favorite thing is being Thale'd.

I was so angry yesterday I spent all my night driving around on the redline with a proto scanner trying to seek and destroy.

Half the time I just don't find the sniper no matter how hard I look.

What are your sniper hunter methods?

One thing I noticed, that occasionally if you zoom all the way in, you can see nanohive globes on the deployment map. That is a fun minigame.

If I could see muzzleflare from that as well (am going to thoroughly investigate tonight), I may have the answer. It is harder to see in the redline though.


Sorry snipers for picking on you, but you got it good with no killcam

close range snipers: snipers on the frontlines or hidden a few yards away from an objective saving objectives from an enemy hack used to the heat of battle showing no hesitation to kill on sight does not waste bullets and master close range snipers are extremely rare like ghosts they kill and kill and kill without error

I snipe from the red-line with a charge sniper in a scout suit with 180 ehp. Come get me.

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 ?

I 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.

i love the thale :) but im collecting them so only used it once

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,

Sniper hunting is one of my favourite things to do and they're usually in the exact same spots every match. The red line ones can be a pain though because the only thing that can reach them is another sniper and you'll likely have to get into a vulnerable spot to get sight and range on them.
