And when fully charged I killed 92% of my targets, also had many kills where riht when the weapon was charged, I would get a kill then as soon as its charged I would kill again.
Also tried the ishikone sniper rifle
If I have to use the charge sniper to ohk people most of the time, its just sad, snipers need more zoom and damage

You should try Militia Tanks in the academy, I went 46-0 with it and never took more than 1,000 damage at any given point :|
CCP, if noobs like that are thrown into public matches with people like Nyain San, you should realize that you need to increase the WP it takes to get out of there.

I wanted to test how bad snipers were
It takes a charge sniper rifle to kill a starter fit, lol, my ishikone did get a few kills though
Ps
The tactical snipers need a bigger clip lol

Well lets be honest here, that's just going to happen on a larger scale once they leave the academy anyway. Not that I condone proto stomping, academy or otherwise. |

It's certainly possible to get one hit kills without a charge sniper rifle, but when I upgraded to one myself, kills because more frequent.
Hell, today I managed to take out a heavy with my charge. Not in one hit, but as he was homing in on me to kill me I was pretty glad I managed to finish him off.
When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

I believe this is impossible, you can queue up for your first game and its the academy match, however, once you reach 510,000 lifetime SP, you start playing in public matches,. Even if you were to wait with a passive SP until you are over 510,000 SP, the first match you would play would be straight to public. You can not buy the charged sniper rifle with 500K SP, its needs around 750K. Meaning you can't bring a charged sniper rifle into academy match. |

Hit Detection / Target Tracking are crap, IMO.
2+ headshots @ proto tier is crap, IMO.
But I'm no expert on the subject of Sniping.
Would be interested to hear what Tyjus Vacca, Keeriam Miray, Kodho and Sleepy Zan have to say on the subject.

What does that mean? +5% Aim Assist?
That sounds like something EZ Mode might ask for.
Sniping should be all about position and precision.
Making it in too forgiving would defame legitimate snipers,
as EZ Tanks have soiled reputation all Tankers. |

It takes a heavy starter suit to survive a hit from a fully charged charge sniper rifle. I don't have a problem with that personally. Or it takes the bad hit detection that every sniper knows we have from bitter experience.

Ability to OHK or kill target, depends on % of shields from total amount of HP.
Railgun damage profile is -10% to shields & +10% to armor
bodyshot (x1) 90% to shields & 110% to armor
headshot (x1.95) 175% to shields & 214% to armor
If base dmg 320 (charge), then:
shield headshot = 560
shield bodyshot = 288 + 288 = 576 > 560
armor headshot = 684
armor bodyshot = 352 + 352 = 704 > 684
2 body shots is more powerfull than 1 headshot, because of racial damage profiles + headshot multiplier
Thats why we see alot bricktanked redline campers that play point & click game with officer SR, dps is huge, you don't need to aim for the head.
without skills & mods
320 (charge, 28 rpm) dps 150
195 (proto tac sr, 100 rpm) dps 325!
230 (proto sr, 50 rpm) dps 190
355 (tar-07, 50 rpm) dps 295
proto tac 585 dmg in 1.2 sec (3 shots)
proto regular 460 dmg in 1.2 sec (2 shots)
If you can't sountersnipe someone with Kaalakiota, you definitely won't kill it even with TAR-07. Something like proto heavy or Sentinel suits is impossible to countersnipe 1 on 1 (there is no powerfull enough SR in game to do that), basic heavy suit is harder to kill because of larger amounts of shields he can have.
GODMODE:
proto Heavy with TAR-07 - 745 shields & 1045 armor
proto Sentinel with TAR-07 - 673 shields & 1194 armor
Same goes to proto logissaults, gallente suits is easier to kill because they are armor based, caldari or minmater can survive headshot.

Here's my 2 cents worth: hit detection sucks. I can hit someone and they take no damage (visual confirmation of shield flash). I used to be able to take out most suits with two quick shots with any of the proto tac sr's. It is now much harder because of poor hit detection, tanked out fits that are impossible to take out with low damage tax sr's, increased speed of the merc you are firing at. The other issue is rendering. You can lead someone perfectly, only to have them disappear right before they get in you cross hairs. Then they reappear five metes past you line of fire. Before any changes to damage we need to fix these issues and see where we stand.
Long Live the Scout!

LOL no! Snipers if anything need their zoom nerfed. If it takes me 20 seconds in a DS just to get to a sniper in the red zone you have way too much zoom.
Once all snipers hop out of the red zone and start sniping we can have this discussion about zoom.

What's your point, exactly?
Sniper rifles suck so bad even the charge cant kill them sometimes
Sorry dude... If you can kill starter kits with one single shot either you dont know how to configure your suit or you just suck at sniping. I recommend trying to focus on your loadouts or just getting good.

Kinda seems like this post is asking for a buff to sniper rifles.
If that is the case then, no.
Sniping is very easy in this game.. no bullet drop, crosshairs turn red when you are on your target, minimal foliage or terrain for people to hide behind (lots of wide open spaces) pretty much every map is a bowl with elevated positions all over the place, etc etc etc.
Just... no. |

CCP, if noobs like that are thrown into public matches with people like Nyain San, you should realize that you need to increase the WP it takes to get out of there.
We don't need an academy. We need a militia mode.

that could be applied to many weapons in Dust.
just because crosshairs turn red, not means it will be a kill,
Hit detection is sparing, one out of 5(?) you might get a kill.
depends if the CCP gratitudous hit detection random button is deployed or not.

Sure, that be great, but, A thales is not offered, it is given.
I would not mind a few myself, but alas, the salvage random sycho generator of thales has been avoiding me.
If you have to label it as buff, so be it.
Hit detection back to what it was pre 1.6 at the least.

and my wish list of some new snazzy rifles, like the scrambler....

I was doin't some math and i get that you kill 14.72 players... from the 16 so what happen with the 0.72 part of red ? You shust blow one arm or something?.
or its just figurative the 92%?
You think that everything must be like you want and all is unfair? the answer is simple as Deal with it or GTFO.

Hit detection could be better, but for the most part, youGÇÖre right. IGÇÖm a good but not great sniper and I find it fairly easy to get 15-20 kills in a pub game with the occasional 30+ kill game (explano-brag?). High alpha weapons are hard to balance without either making them over powered across the board or, as is the case right now, weak at the top end. My only complaint is that PC sniping requires a Thales and I only have 8 left. |

Well they are never going to implement bullet drop. They could make a change to require each shot be reloaded via a "bolt action" type of move, requiring you to come out of ADS between shots, wait another moment for your scope to steady, then fire again... might add a bit of skill needed to get consecutive shots off.
PC sniping doesn't "require" a thales imo.. thales is just a vastly superior rifle compared to every other version and makes it a lot easier to get a higher number of kills and thus become more effective at your role of slaying during a PC bout. Most other officer weapons are better than their prototype counterparts.. not lightyears ahead like the thales. Being effective in PC should certainly not "require" an officer weapon. |

I'll repeat myself:
The issue with sniper rifles is how they are balanced against suit tiers; it's rather easy to OHK a person in militia/standard gear while still being little more than a nuisance to a proto/heavy suit. In essence, we're forced to feed on the weakest players while being little more than annoyances to the proto crowd.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure of what can be done to remedy the situation. I'll take a sniping position if I'm able to cover at least one node from a position of relative safety (i.e. redline or edge of the map) but asking me to get closer to the battle...that's hard to do when I'm restricted to a sidearm as my only means of self-defense, seeing as to how the game doesn't enable you to hip-fire the SR with any idea of where you're actually shooting. Give me something--even if it's a reticule the size of the HMG's--to at least give me an estimation of where my shot might go.
Life is killing me.

I'd be all for 1 hit kills from sniper headshots... If sniping from the redzone was dealt with... As someone who's played a sniper in many games including this one, increasing the range would be a terrible idea, why should you be able to easily headhost someone from somewhere off the map... Come join the battle if you want to get a better shot... Also if the sidearm isn't something you like to shoot with (SMG's are the boss at close range) you can always go commando (not taking yer pants off) and bring something else with you. |

Put a dot (or a little piece of tape or a little piece of clear tape with a dot) on your TV. Make sure the dot is smaller than the ADS dot so you can still see it turn red. Problem solved. Also, the SMG is a beast at CQC. |

I lol'd in real life...
Saw a video a looongg time about about how ridiculously inaccurate sniper rifles are when hip firing.. like its a complete crapshoot where the bullet will go and nowhere near the center dot of the reticule.
Put a piece of tape on your screen.. bwahahaha.
I think someone said to do that one day when he was trying to help someone be better with the HMG.

Sniper rifle projectiles travel at 2500m/s, the travel time and falloff is pretty negligible when we're talking about no more than 400-450m. More likely it's 100-300m so it's even less.
When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.
