Have you tried aiming for the head?

A standard rifle will one shot a lot of suits with a head shot.
Also, if it was militia they were tanked and had a lot of SP. A charge shot does something like 350 damage?

it is a gallente suit, which do have the highest EHP of any suit in the gameGǪmilitia gallente suit>ADV minmitar suit

Woah there bro... Your likes are going up and you have a proto sniping fit... Pot? Kettle? Black?

I don't get the complaints by snipers. I rarely snipe and when I do it seems easy. Also where are you snipers when the enemy is all huddled together on one building? Should be easy pickins!

1) Which suit has 4 highs at ADV? Answer: None!
2) The Charged Sniper is? Answer: Proto!

Yeah but pick targets who aren't sprinting? Or targets that can't get cover before a second or third body shot? I've honestly never had a target I **** at that didnt die in my relatively limited sniping experience

No, but you certainly aren't helping the venerated noobs you keep telling other proto users to stop killing. Plus the bitching in other threads. Hypocrite.

Charge sniper with 3x damage mods? you probably missed

my mlt gallente suit has 612 armour and could have a lot more than that if i had access to plates and pg/cpu upgrades.
why should you be able to sit in the redline, do nothing but sit still and kill people with one shot?

why are you complaining that you can't be effective whilst doing NOTHING, never pushing the objective,
pissing people off who are trying to 1v1 someone then they get sniped at the objective by some numb-skull
who is too scared to even fight on the ground.

Why don't you just sit on the hill on the bridge map with 6 other snipers like I see every game, maybe then
you can steal some kills and finally be able to kill the tricky militia suit.

By the way that person is wearing a militia suit because they don't have access to any other suits,
do you think the game is fun for them if they're being one-shotted by somebody who is hidden so far behind the redline
that they're invisible and invincible?

-1 for wanting to take all the fairness out of the game. Sorry that you're apparently too bad to ruin every single game like
all the other snipers seem to do. They have no problem so you must suck!!

You get given free access to shoot onto any objective on any map in any mode whilst sitting hundreds of metres away
impervious to infantry who won't be able to do anything about you as it would mean abandoning the objective and you still complain.........

Yeah, only headshots should OHK. You must be insane to think that bodyshots should OHK.
Snipers are one of the most frustrating things in this game. Sometimes more so than redline railgun tanks.
At least you can see the tanks and aren't affected as infantry.
Yes, snipers don't do much damage. I know it, snipers is one of my roles. But it's one of those "I run around and suddenly I'm dead for no apparent reason" issues like the TTK problem. It's the kind of thing that can get grating, even if it doesn't affect the entire match much.

However, I'd be interested in a change to effective rang:
Make the sniper capable of OHK at RR's max range. For ordinary sniper range, the damage should stay like it is now.
The result?
More active snipers, now with the possibility of running marksman effectively.
Believe me, it's not all that easy to line up that shot before the enemy sees you at that range. I did manage to headshot someone who was running at me at even shorter range once, though.

Also, sniper kill assists should get more WP. And getting an enemy down to 30% of eHP or something from 100% should grant a "crippling" bonus, because it effectively takes an enemy out of the fight for some time. (Less so on shield tankers)

But everything goes through armor easier than shield. I have Gal Logis, I know this.

No, but you certainly aren't helping the venerated noobs you keep telling other proto users to stop killing. Plus the bitching in other threads. Hypocrite.

This guy in no-way endorses the opinion of the Matari...
If you are struggling to kill with a DMG modded Charge, there is no hope for you
If you can't hit headshots, you don't deserve the OHK

Obviously a good sniper is very effective. That's the problem - high reward, virtually zero risk.

Telling someone like me, who has proficiency 4 or 5 in RR, AR, HMG and FG but nothing in SR, and hundreds of hours of experience on the frontline but basically no experience with SRs ([cough] because I'm not a redline scrub [cough]), to 'pick up a sniper and fight me in my comfort zone' is absolutely ridiculous. Why don't you come and fight me in my comfort zone, 0-80m? Because you'd get slaughtered, same as I would when engaging any skilled and fully specced sniper at 200m+.

A good sniper is a great asset to the team. The problem is (1) most snipers are not good, they go 2-0 or 4-1 in pubs and (2) due to the artifical redline dynamic there is basically no risk to sniping. It's the same as the situation with 1.7 tanks. Every class needs a hard counter; when the best counter is that class, that class is evidently OP.

You know nothing about me, my game style or what I run. This character is actually a scout, so **** you.

*rides to the sunset with my middle finger in the air*

Stop hiding 400+m away from everyone and your performance will improve
This whole thread amounts to one thing ... QQ

'Why can't I OHK while hiding 400m away from targets'

The answer is in the problem ....
Most weapon ranges are useless at 200m yet snipers feel,
they need to be double that distance away to be effective....

Move into the map, fight in range of 200/300m
You'l find hit detection greatly improved and you may actually contribute to your team
Until that time, quit bitching that you suck at hitting targets because you are camping 400m+
Away from MOVING targets .... seriously have you not took the hint from the replies here

Try moving rather than sitting in the same area,
Every time you post you only let us know how much of a bad sniper you are

Why exactly is a sniper dead if found? I mean sure if they get the jump on you unaware if them. But if you are a scout you can run, if you are anything else, scrambler pistols are amazing, especially against someone trying to get close do you can't snipe then.

No offense man but none of your complaints seem smrelated to snipers and more reflect your own skills and playstyle limitations

Lol you must feel pretty good right now

Think of me laughing next time you fail PRO V MLT

IMHO, Headshots should be needed for OHK, however, in the case of Light Frames/Scouts I do think that there should be potential for OHK body shots (especially seeing as how they are mostly all going to be cloaking come 1.8)

As a note, I am talking about using STD gear with no more than 1 Damage Mod

Shouldn't 1 complex armour plate counter 1 complex dmg mod?
