When facing a full Nyain San squad or two in pubs, I suck my thumb and go to my special place.
Anyway, I too use a Gallente Advanced scout. I consider scouts the only "proper" sniper suits; the rest are just armor-stacking whores who can't bear the thought of a countersnipe headshot being fatal. For a long time I didn't bother to go into battle with a sidearm or grenades; because I'm just that hardcore. I carry them now, but rarely survive long enough to use them once engaged.
As for this thread's theme, I'm not at all ashamed of sniping. I'm a misanthropic loner who doesn't take orders well; about the only thing I'm fit to do in Dust is solo snipe. And no, I don't corrupt precious Factional Warfare with my parasitic redlining; I only pub, where winning doesn't really matter, does it?
Also, never used a Thale's, for the record. NT-511 or Charge.

It might take you 2-4 weeks of steady play to get used to the timing necessary to make headshots on moving targets at any range, and body shots on moving targets in excess of 500m (assuming they render, ha!).
A great game for me, starting out, was going 10-0. My new record is 25 kills, 7 assists, 0 deaths, 10 headshots, from ~497m with an NT-511. Record with a Charge is 31k, 2a, 0d, 13hs, from ~524m. And no, I don't write down my results after battles, what kind of freak would do that?
Probably a better indicator of your accuracy (and improvement) is in total damage done, since getting kills can be capricious and dependent largely upon the suit level of your enemies. If you do 10,000 and above damage, but only get a few kills, it means you're reasonably accurate enough, but likely facing veterans with high average HP. In other words, don't get discouraged quickly. Eventually you'll find there's no satisfaction like Charge headshotting a moving Logi with a full ~700 HP while he's repping someone. If I smoked, I'd probably light up after kills like that. |
