Ps. Don't tell me to use the charge, because I hate it. Are you being serious? The ishukone is awesome. It has a great RoF, and stacking damage mods makes it easy. You shouldn't be whining about proficiency though. Lvl 3 isn't lvl 5, after all. Skill up to max before you ask for more damage or officer rifles. We snipers don't need an "easy button," I'd just like to see some more friendly implementation to make our niche more viable.
I haven't gotten a thales in ages. I just wanna murder peeps, but whenever I do have a thales they chase me. I tried the kaalakiota, good for counter snipping which is what I rarely have to do. I just can't seem to do lots of damage with the ishukone, I don't like having to 4 shot heavies. I can't skill or to proficiency V because I'm saving for my minmstar assault, so I'm kinda stuck

Anecdotally I haven't been killed by a sniper in ages, get picked off once in a blue moon if I am careless and in open under half hp. I need to look at the numbers, but sniper use is very stable, none of the rifles or new weapons have had a meaningful impact on the use of sniper rifles, so it's a steady group of people who like to snipe apparantly, I am not even sure they venture into Tac AR or SCR at all.
Feel free to share, we have no specific hate/love with snipers, they should have a viable place on the battlefield like all of our weapons.
What I would really want are some better sniping positions outside if the red line that you would have to fly up to hoping you weren't spotted. There were great vantage points but for some reason someone decided to make it so you can't stand on it or can't even get access to it.. (i.e. the spires that people ignore these days because they're meaningless)

Reward good snipers that get consistent headshots
Bring snipers out of the redline
Increase their effective dps so they may be PC viable
I also liked the idea of fewer shots in the clip and faster reload to come with the higher damage profile.
No good vantage points outside of red line? No new mountains or buildings? :( but I like the idea of rewarding snipers that are capable of getting consistent head shots
