Yesterday I was sniping redberries from within the enemy's redline. (Obviously jumping back out every 15 seconds.)
Nerf redline snipers, I'm OP.

As a sniper, my position is never based on "where the redline is". The map design is, unfortunately, designed to put many of the best sniper positions behind it. That is a map problem, not a weapon balance problem, nor a redline problem.
I know on Manus Peaks skirmish, I initially am redline sniping. Why? Because a point near my MCC lets me hit the A hack point on the other side of the map, allowing me to ensure my team an easy three-cap on a three-point map. (This is also bad map design, I should not be able to do this.) Nonetheless, it's evidence that as a sniper, I help my team in a significant way, by preventing the enemy team from capping A for the first two to three minutes of the match.
Usually then I reposition, as enemy snipers have found their positions. I'll usually countersnipe the majority of my time in a match as a sniper, keeping enemy snipers off my team. Often this will place me in the center of the play field. On Domination matches (again, in Manus Peaks), I have occasionally run sniper while crouching at the objective.

If a sniper can kill you, you can kill them. Doesn't matter where on the map they are. Redline tanks: Much harder to kill.

Why would I be ticked off at easy targets? I love redline snipers. :)

I've actually never used one of my Thale's rifles. I don't feel pubs, FacWar, or even PC gives me an important enough fight to break them out, so I haven't ever used them. Don't even know how they feel to fire.
Sure, I've seen glitchy map issues, sometimes I have to reposition once or twice to get the shot off, but I manage it.

Same for tankers. Let them shoot each other and stop being the drive-by shooters they are.
If you read my above posts, you'd know that when I snipe, it's not for KDR. I snipe on maps where I can help with objectives from a sniper perch. (Manus Peaks, usually.) Actually the most leaderboard-stacky I get is when I logi. I love me some war points. Find a heavy, park on it with a repper. 3k warpoints easy. Just saying. You make a lot of generalizations without knowing what you're talking about.

The problem is with the Redline Sniper at the edge of the map terrain glitching in a heavy suit, that's the problem.
The problem is none of the above: It's map design. But snipers and redlines are the "most visible symptom", and few are willing to think it through.
