is it possiple to extend red line timer from 20s to say maybe 35s? cause as it stands they are only two effective ways to kill a red line sniper/tank.
1.)risk a 500k isk ads for the sniper.
2.)use a orbital, if you have one and don't care to waste it on a tank or sniper(tank can move out of orbital path if they have good reaction time.
3.)crash land a derp ship,kill,wait to die
points to be arqued:
1.)you can counter snipe(yeah try that with a dualshock 3 controller)
2.)sit on redline with rail tank wait for other tank to grow impatient(you are vulnerable the whole time, he is not)
3.)it would be unfair to enemy if their whole team was redlined(change ground spawn to a random location(like ambush) within their home redline.)
ccp this is a game breaking mechanic it is unfair that i know where my enemy is (exact location) ,but can only wait for them to blow my head off of my shoulders or in a rail tanks case launch me like a rocket.
any and all constructive feedback to this unfair mechanic is welcome

in regard to the points you made:
1.) when compared to mouse users you don't stand a chance with ds3 unless you already have a general idea of where he is located.
2.) study your dom maps some can easily be used by rail red line tanks(ashlands for example). Yes you can forge him but that is the power of the red line mechanic you can run in it and anything that follows DIES.
3.if you partake in red line camping you would know a group bunches up outside mcc spawn and a group in front of ground spawn . Making the ground spawn random WITHIN your redline would prevent that grouping from occuring forcing the campers to spread out.(like explaining how to poop to a small child)
Finally you are in one general location when you hack doesn't take much effort for a sniper to time his shot(s) out even when you are strafing like a mad man,

make it so you cannot drop Orbitals into redline areas.
as for redline snipers they should have 1 minute to GTFO of the redline area and into the "burn zone" after their first kill as they have basically 0% risk from everything except suicide LAVs and suicide Dropships of which will not be done hardly at all due to isk loss.. no one is gonna waste an orbital on a redline sniper..
only option is to counter-snipe but redliners already have position which means you gotta be skilled up and have an equal or higher vantage point to be able to get them.. but guess what?! they just go back to their spot and kill you with a thales send a message saying GIT GUD and keep snipeing like assholes from their completly safe area which they have set up with ammo and drop uplinks.. it needs a change!
thanks for the feedback

your absolutely right snipers do need some love especially the basic and advanced tiers, but what they need more anything is sniper friendly locations that isn't in red line (towers with porticulus"s, high hanging rafters on buildings etc.)

Remember me?  Tanks however, aren't any good from the redline.You can always forgegun anyone causing trouble from the redline, unless its those MCC snipers. Absolutely no reason to risk your life there, no need to redline and stomp the other team.
lmao yeah your the guy i squashed with a dropship and you sent me a stupid mail asking why lol scrubdation
