Sniprs are a part of war, its just about tactics, snipers are a tactic and a very good one.
Explain to me why I should have a sniper in PC?

Sniprs are a part of war, its just about tactics, snipers are a tactic and a very good one. Explain to me why I should have a sniper in PC? They're useful for guarding hacked objectives. In some maps one sniper can keep two objectives safe from being hacked +Ñt once as long as the sniper knows of the sweet spots to camp.
Agreed, they are good at holding a objective if it is just one lonely hacker. However if it is multiple players, a snipers effectiveness decreases drastically.
Furthermore, if we're using a player for point defense. Why we not just not put logi there instead for scans and uplinks. Better yet, why would I not just swap out that sniper for a rail tank. Not only does it fit the role of a sniper, but it is also extremely good AV.

Considering how my Thales can 1-2 shot most suits in the game, I'm pretty sure I can handle sniping more than 1 person hacking (provided I get the right position). I've yet to see a scanner that can extend to 599m. Even the LP Scanner doesn't scan that far. And infantry doesn't render far enough inside a tank to be even close to efficient in terms of "sniping" when compared to an ACTUAL sniper. Care to go again?
1. You clearly don't PC, so let me explain that it is extremely hard for any lone sniper to prevent a competent home flag push, even if you're 1-2 spotting players.
2. The whole sniper call-out sounds good on paper, but for the most part is nothing game changing.
3. I snipers role in PC is point defense not slaying. I don't care what is more efficient at sniping a moving target. All I care about is making sure no one hacks that point, and Rail tank can achieve this.
From my PC experience, the sniper role's benefits do not out weigh the costs.
