Heavies should only be allowed to wear heavy weapons i hate the fact that a heavy sniper got 1100 armor and i'm trying to snipe him and he just sits there like i threw a potato at him (i'm not a good thrower, it only went 5 meters away).
Scouts should be the only dropsuits who can equip sniper rifles to stop extreme tanking (even gk.0 scout with tanked armor) |

I snipe in my heavy suit and its mainly to kill other snipers. You hit me 2-3 times and I can then figure out where you are. Not too good for sniping other targets as I run out of ammo fast. |

But as a proto suit its stupid to suicide unless stuck. |

Heavies can use any weapon but have no equipment slots. Why should a heavy not be able to carry weapons smaller than HMGs and FGs? They're the strongest of all characters.

lol hit reply instead of "quick reply" and there is a line of smiley icons you can push to insert the bracket as desired.
honest response though... heavy snipers are limited in ammo and mobility. smart ones will use a logi suit to 'set up camp' and then suicide (more power to them) or find a supply depot (another 'complication') so ... they have to work for it a bit. they're also easy as **** to pick up when you are ADS doing counter-sniper on them (like, they can be moving BEHIND a crate or something and you can still track them) whereas damped scouts are almost 100% visual pickup.
in my experience anyway. |

UGH!!! seriously?
You moan at us for counter sniping with our forges. Now your having a go because we're beating you at your own game?
Seriously next your going to say we shouldnt be able to see scouts at all or that HMG shouldnt be able to go into redlines to hunt you down?
How about you learn to deal with threats instead of hiding in the redline? |

Scouts should be the only dropsuits who can equip sniper rifles to stop extreme tanking (even gk.0 scout with tanked armor) I have killed plenty of Forge Gunners with a standard sniper riffle. Heavy snipers should be just as easy. Make sure that they donGÇÖt know where you are, to start with. Make sure you are head shotting them. It might take 3 or 4 shots. If you run a Charged Sniper rifle a head shot will take a good chunk out of them, and you should be able to finish them while they waddle for cover.
They are also quite vulnerable to Scouts with Shotguns.

I sniped in Chromosome that way. Heavy makes a very good counter-sniper, IMO, but a bad general sniper. Which I think is perfectly fair and balanced.
These days I just fire a Kamehameha at the snipers too dumb to move, though. So you can keep your pea shooter. |

Who says you have to use a scout to snipe?
They're awesome for modern style sniping: Fire. Move. Fire. Move. Remain undetected. And you generally should be getting headshots anyway, which devastate even heavy armour.
Sounds like QQ to me. |

if you think the heavy sniper style is better then spec into heavies >.>
I think medium suit snipers are better because of the mobility, heavy sniper more often then not need a thale to be anything but completely useless, and even then they often times can't do anything but sit in the red line.
I faced a whole squad of heavy snipers the other day, I promply ignored them and between the 6 of them they got a grand total of 14 kills, I had 37.
heavy snipers are useless redline campers 90% of the time. |

One of these guys got me with a Thale's this morning. Luckily I located him with my LAV's scanner a bit later and managed to get behind him and FG him at point blank range.

But really OP, find something decent to complain about. Heavy snipers are only good for counter sniping from a supply depot. |

that should teach them.... I, as well, would prefer that maps be setup so that areas well behind the red line not be good for sniping. I think good sniper nests that give you a view of multiple objectives should be accessible by sniper hunters. CCP should try to keep this in mind when developing maps. The red zones should be behind hills or something.

lol What rifles are you using?? I can kill heavy snipers in 2-4 shots as long as at least one of them is a headshot using my ishukone or charge. In fact, I sniped the same heavy sniper thrice. Because most snipers in this game are absolute idiots. XD |

As a sniper I have to fits. A heavy in case I have to go toe to toe with another sniper for survivability. Another that is tactical and designed to be self supportive. The heavy cannot carry resupplies and is limited, so I see no problem with heavy snipers, just aim for the head and also they are very slow and easy moving targets.
PS: when the market opens I will buy as many Thales as possible, so keep me in mind. I have loads of ISK |
