I think that you were killing people in MLT/STR suits all day long. Thats really simple - PRO suits have more CPU/PG and slots to tank even better, we get stacking penalties for each dmg mod and they don't really get any penalties for putting in more tanking modules.
Yeah I've used snipers regularly in the past on a different account. I was just mentioning that I've been using one since 1.8 was released.
And yes I understand what a Proto suit is.
I understand there seems to be diminishing returns at proto level unless you use the Charge Sniper.
All I'm saying is I can kill pretty much any Advanced suit with my advanced sniper. Other than tanked heavies, which I don't really care about killing to be honest.
But snipers are definitely not 'broken'.

Ok, here is why currently your request will not be listened to.
1) Redline Snipers
There are people here that are so bad at this game, that sit in the redline in, get this a 1900 EHP sentinel a pop people without a care in the world.
This is damn wrong and your first mistake.
2) Your statement "Get gud and use a Sniper Rifle"
You clearly do not understand the mechanics of this game, you should not need to use a sniper to kill a sniper. You need a hard counter that differs from the original threat.
In the case of snipers the best counter should be shotgun to the rear end of the cranium.
3) You statement "Stop with Risk vs Reward"
What you want us to keel over and let you have free kills?
Once again your lack of knowledge concerning the games meta is most disturbing, every suit costs that person money, every single suit.
The idea of Risk vs Reward is the more risks you take (suit costs, running solo behind redberry lines, using short-ranged weaponry) the better your reward if you pull it off.
There is no risk to sniping THROUGH terrain inside your redline to kill people actively part-taking in battle.
So in short, if you want ANY kind of buff to Sniper Rifles then find a way to force them from the redline. Because so long as Snipers abusethe redline their weapon is DESERVEDLY bad.
Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work.

If you regularly go 20-0. Snipers are not bad. They are a support class anyway. You shouldn't be out-slaying Assaults and Heavies.

Tankers went 20-0 regularly before 1.6. We're HAVs perfectly fine as well?
How are they a support class again? Their main role is killing, and that's all they get rewarded for, killing.

Can't say from a PC perspective, but snipers seem to be fine in pubs. The damage seems appropriate, most medium frame suits only get one-shot by a headshot. And I shouldn't be able to solo a heavy with one clip anyway.
The point raised that Thales are the viable option in PC is a great observation though. you would do much better with the basic RR Probably. I'm pretty awesome. I'd make more kills for sure, but more deaths as well. Regularly making 15-0 games in pubs is better than going 17-6 with a basic RR. What do you guys want? To drop 30 kill games every time? Snipers are fine, I feel like you're all just terrible.
What I would like is to 2 shot any suit with the Ishokune, and 3 shot a heavy. I guess that would be thales damage on the basic sniper rifle.. still seems fair since there's recoil. I say this because 3-4 shots on any suit and 5 on heavies is disgusting. Snipers are annoying at best, rarely some kind of real threat that ever must be dealt with.
There are a lot of terrible snipers out there, that's great. I'm just not one of them.

Snipers can be slayers. They're not limited to support. The real upside in PC to having a sniper is they usually won't die, and can provide good point defense / rooftop support. If you're low on clones, or trying to clone the enemy they have reach.
That's maybe more my play style, I'm not trying to stop anyone from running a caldari scout with damage mods if they're into quick scoping with a tactical. Fun yes, useful not so much. Die all you want.

dude the point was 20-0 is no accomplishment this is dust ..... I can "and have" go 12-0 with a PLC and Knives
snipers suffer from horrible hit detection and a crappy Dmg model... a couple good players doing good with a crappy weapon doesn't make it good......................... btw a "support weapon" is just another way of saying a weapon is so broken it can't kill
so commandos are good now O_o

Read my posts about red line snipers.
Dust 514 has many specific roles. Sniping is a very minor specific role. if you're getting killed from the enemy red line you're doing it wrong.
1) You're probably winning already since you're pushing towards it
2) You're probably standing still or moving in predictable patterns
3) You're probably out in the open running around like you own the place
You deserve to get sniped. The enemy team is down a player who can spawn in and focus any objective on the map. They're sacrificing someone who could actively be participating to have them solely focus on a certain half or section of the map.
If you were a sniper you would know what the best hard counter to a sniper is. It's an ADS. They clear rooftops like nobody's business. They can even dive into the red line, get kills, and get out. I'll also cut you off and say if a sniper took time to call in a drop ship and get to a rooftop it's only fair you do the same.
Risk versus reward is still there as well. As I mentioned before, you'll always get way more kills with a charge sniper rifle out of the red line than with a thale's in the red line. You're also a lot more likely to die. It could be an ADS, anyone with a drop ship and a gun really. It's way easier to snipe people at 250m than 450m.

"1) You're probably winning already . . . " Winning is not excuse for your opponent to snipe from the redline.
2 and 3 apply the majority of the time you get sniped not just from the redline, which is basically what snipers do pick off straglers.
There is NO EXCUSE for redline sniping, period.
Also 3 shot heavies? You realise you will one shot the majority of suits (about 55-60%) in this game with that. The only way you would be permitted that much power is if every sniper had a long charge time, full blown ballistics and giant "I'm here" sign everytime you pulled that damn trigger.

Aside from being completely helpless in a firefight, you mean? You know, wielding a weapon that doesn't even give you an estimate of where a hip-fired shot would land? All those poor snipers out there, we have no idea how to aim at a target directly in front of us unless we're looking down the scope.

Agreed...excluding scout suits that knowingly choose to avoid shield/armor in favor of speed/stealth.
This actually raises the biggest issue with giving SRs a flat "buff"--players that can't afford to run better suits/haven't skilled into them would be affected much more than proto/tankers. I believe the better option would be to increase the zoom and slightly increase the effectiveness of headshots; a OHK should be the result of landing a well-placed shot and not the ability to rapidly plug away at a target.

In one of them you have full view of the hacking terminal, plus 2 of the enemy's bases. Great for surpressing fire, holding one objective, and seriously lower their clone count.
If it's the best way to contribute to your team winning, why the hell not?

Chances are that you'll be noticed and countersniped quickly anyway.

Yes they should! Once someone is no longer wearing militia gear it almost always takes 2 shots. There's a huge gap between the 200hp - 1500hp suits. If you can't body shot a militia suit, I guess taking 8 shots to kill a proto heavy is okay? You can shrink those numbers a bit, and it's still way too much. Bring trash to a match, get stomped, buy aurum, buy proto, get stomped less?

Just had a faction warfare match, where the entire enemy team got one total kill. We had 3 prototype tanks camping the enemy red line. I was sniping way up high, each tank had 30+ kills. I had maybe 15 kills. I would have been so upset if someone on the enemy team managed to escape the meat grinder and sniped back at me.
They couldn't escape the red line. They're allowed to fight back, but God forbid with a sniper rifle...

Your opinion as a sniper means nothing in comparison. Sniping from the ground? Yeah, I do that too. While I'm waiting for my drop ship to land.
You're the same narrow minded garbage I had described earlier. Just a cog in the meat grinder. If you had things your way there would be no mountains, no buildings, no vantage points. Just flat terrain and boxes. Get the **** out.

It currently takes up to 14 bodyshots and 4 reloads (or 8 headshots with 2 reloads) with a PROTO sniper rifle to kill a merc. Despite the extremely low zoom level. And he doesn't waddle away in the 25 seconds that it takes. Provided you land every shot on target.
That's just ridiculous!

Sniping in this game is as easy as it gets
How about snipers get a damage buff when their bullets have a travel time and bullet drop.

I think snipers depending on their tier should be a 2 hit KO on their own tier. Also if CCP would just fix aiming with the controller I wouldn't have a problem with it that much to be honest.

Combat Rifle with aim assistance is about as easy as it gets.
As for bullet drop.. it's at 601m. Rail technology is so crazy!
This is not a combat simulator that prides itself on aspects of realism.

This is starting to get annoying, pretty much Snipers are calling out for a buff since their enemies are getting smarted at being able to avoid them and making their suits able to take hits and keep going. Everyone else who doesn't snipe hates on snipers since in all reality they rarely help a team and normally cause a team to lose due to lack of bodies on the front line. Snipers want a buff so they can keep camping the red line and other areas that don't matter to the game. Everyone else wants to remove the Red Line so Snipers actually take part in the game. In the end neither side will get what they want. So best I can say is I will agree that CCP regardless needs to fix the rendering issues/hit detection issues. Sniper Rifles don't need more damage.
