Really OP? The proto Caldari scout has 4 high slots making it already the most likely choice for stealth snipers. Cloaking will make it even harder to find. The shield tanking nature also means it is far more self sufficient without needing an external or internal repping mechanism. On top of that the increase in scan precision and range means it will be much harder to sneak up on them.
I run an adv Gallente sniper fit, I use stealth to my advantage over high HP. If they know where you are they may not be able to counter you but they can easily avoid you. I prefer to stack profile dampners in the lows and damage mods in the highs, it makes it harder to find me and as long as I see my enemy first I can still get the edge. As far as I can tell the Caldari Scout is going to be the go to suit for stealth snipers, and all Caldari suits (especially heavies) will be the superior snipers.
As a sniper I personally have a problem with people who stack HP on a heavy sniper fit making them nearly unstoppable even from other snipers, the best you can do is scare them off. There's no sport in it, it's clearly just trying to rack up easy kills with no risk. At least when I snipe all it takes is one militia snipe to my head to put me out of commision..... but you have to find me first.
Where is my Gallente sidearm? 1.8? When is that? SoonGäó514

Your gallente tank of choice is stealth, which allows you to still damage mod without sacrifice to your chosen tank. The caldari scout has to directly sacrifice its tank for damage. Everyone knows that you need at least 3 damage mods with the SR to be semi-competitive with the TTK of any other non damage modded weapon. Keeping that in mind, add to the fact the scout has less hp and now will have less dps than assaults with the same setup. Setting up a glass canon fit with a scout makes no sense, since the same setup with the assault is dramatically better.
TTK is an issue, that's why I don't focus on having enough HP to take hits, I focus on never being found. My tiny head and signature means that you have to pretty much know exactly where I am to have a chance of hitting me, which is one of the smallest targets in the game. I don't put on any health modifiers, not even a repper, my tank IS stealth. Stacking armor plates won't save me from a headshot, they'll just slow me down when I have to relocate.
