Can't quote everyone so I'm just gonna rant...
Dust snipers have 'ghillie' suits, they're labeled as 'complex profile dampeners". They work well.
Being effective on one map on one game mode does not make you effective.
Finding the good spots on new maps almost requires the use of a dropship, ALL snipers should be able to fly and have a stockpile of dropships for personal transportation.
The zoom range is unrealistic in the classic future sense of the game, but still balanced in the sense that although targets are small, you can see what others cannot.
Hitting tiny targets at long range with the current hit detection is easier than hitting mid range targets. Try it, shoot at 'jumpers' at 300m then back up to around 450m, its stupid how much easier it gets.
Killing 10 people in a match is a low standard in my book, 20 kills minimum is where snipers should feel comfortable. There should be NO deaths period.
A sniper should be able to take as much damage as he can put out in one shot. A sniper should be wreaking so much havoc the enemy that he IS getting shot once or twice, but he should NOT die.
Snipers should be attacking from the flanks, let the main force attack from the front. That means learning to stray further and further from your redline.
Headshot kills cannot be revived, that haven't been revivable for some time. I don't even get the argument here. Even if you body shot a guy and someone runs up with a needle you have two options: 1. keep the scope on them and a soon as they pop kill em again, and their friend 2. shooting the dead body will render him un revivable.
Good sniper fits are almost OP as is, good sniper fits are very SP intensive. So in time, with dedicated SP investment, you will be OP(almost). I'm talking 10-12 million SP so be patient and dedicated to strictly sniper fit upgrades.
I agree 100% on matchmaking issues.
So all in all good post OP, but I think you need a bit more time in the sniper seat before pondering a buff.
To all the other dedicated snipers, o7 & never quit updating, upgrading, and perfecting those sniper fits and tactics.
