No its officer weapon,it should be powerfull.

PS: It has same rane as any other sniper,599 meters,..only stronger zoom

The argument of "It's an officer weapon" doesn't work here it all.

The whole point behind officer weapons is that they're rare, and you are putting your rare weapon at great risk when using it.
A thale's sniper on the other hand is deep within the redline, head glitching, and so the chances of losing one is slim to none.

I haven't lost a single Thale's, ever.

I feel the only game breaking thing about the Thale is the unnecessary range it ass. It allows people to shoot pretty much unimpeded with no risk to themselves. It's one thing for a sniper to be on a roof or hidden, at least then their not in the redline being invunerable. People who.sit using a Thale means players can literally keep killing from behind the redline where the opposing team can't reach them. I'm sat on 36 Thales wondering should I just do the easy thing and use them? "be a pro" by hiding out of enemy range and pretend I'm boss at this game because.I'm to scared to play properly.

Discuss your opinions?

Then in that case Gastuns FG should be returned to 3k dmg a shot because it's an officer weapon.

If you ask me, every Sniper Rifle is OP. No damage fall-off all the way to 600m, so you can cower in the redline and have 4 counters to you while you deal 200-350 damage with no consquence or immediate danger. Why do people want to one-shot people without consequence? Please explain that to me. A buff to damage would only be justified if snipers were part of the battlefield, instead of a nuisance to it.

When I encounter someone sitting in their safe zone, all I can do is this:
1. Counter snipe - I have a damage modded Tactical fit, but I can't 3-shot the Sentinels and they usually move after the 2nd shot, so desperate to save their fit. And if they're good at what they do, they'll shoot me every time I crouch, trying to protect their crutch. Besides, they're usually head glitching or whatever it's called, so I have to refer to other counters.

2. On some maps, I can reach them with a Forge Gun, so Sentinels aren't a problem.

3. ADS - As I hear, missile turrets can get the job done.

4. This one's my favorite - MLT Dropship, scanner, HMG. Nuff said. Killed 2 Thale's doing this and plenty of Charges.

Pretty much every other game, while I'm pushing the objective and being useful, someone who thinks they're pro from afar makes me drop what I'm doing and deal with them. Some people don't give up, and my match is wasted.

But seriously, put a Tactical on a Scout, have a good sidearm, get out there. It's ridiculously fun and rewarding. A shame people don't try it.

ive never lost a thales either, and i never snipe from the redline. i snipe on a scout at the enemies redline, getting several kills with a smg as well. sniping from the redline is just stupid and boring

Got to love people that b!tch about a weapon doing what it's supposed to do.

Redline snipers lose a lot of isk and quite a few thales, at least when I'm in the match. It's not hard to kill them, all you have to do is try.

I guess we never met I specialize in killing Thalers
