35 seconds for an assault.

You want high damage + hit scan? You need to be within retaliation range.

Battlefield snipers aren't hit scan, so landing a long range shot actually takes skill.

I would like a permanent insta-ban for anyone who brings up the redline in sniper threads. That's sniper rifle related, right?

Considering sniper rifle changes without thinking about the effect it will have on people using the redline will not lead to balance

I red line snipe in pc. I destroy outer.heaven.

I am a huge threat.

All the cool kids are doing it.

You call nerfing damage mods balance?

Snipers lost 10-12% damage from that change not too long ago.

That change had nothing to do with snipers.

A minimum of a 10% damage increase to snipers is something they likely deserve.

(Meaning the 10% bonus from Caldari Commando at prototype would be an actual bonus. Instead of damage retainment.)

amongst other things like an increased headshot multiplier, which also won't help red line snipers..

not that they're important, because honestly you're deceiving yourself if you think they're an issue.

Was it within 400m?

Also, clearly based on you data mining score Symbioticforks, you're more than just an annoyance

So now then shall we get back to topic folks?

i doubt that there is any point in asking for realistic ballistics on snipers, that would require new game mechanics.
it would also mean that for balance, we would need to add it to all weapons.

and with it being a rail gun, i doubt that we even know the realistic ballistics, even then after all that. the modern day snipers can hit something hand sized from 600-800 meters if they know what they are doing.

so lets not worry too much about realism right now.

so what would you like them to change for us?

10 things i personally would like

1 the head shot damage to be improved
2 the rendering issues to fixed
3 the charge rifle noise to be changed
4 the charge rifles base damage to increase slightly
5 a reduction in the charge time
6 damage mods to not be included in creating the profiles for sniper rifles
7 a scan/tag system to be introduced for snipers
8 adjustable scopes
9 a greater difference between the charge, normal, and tactical sniper rifles.
10 for the ammo skill to be changed into a skill that is actually worth putting points into.

This may seem like alot to ask for, but that really depends on how much of it you expect to actually get...

so go ahead folks, lets see some lists.
