Shorten sniper range to 400m, get rid of sway & crouching requirements, allow for reasonable (but relatively inaccurate) hipfire.
Snipers want to be able to kill people, but never get shot at which is problematic, you should be out on the field and able to fight on the field.

Snipers want to be able to kill people, but never get shot at which is problematic, you should be out on the field and able to fight on the field. Shortening the range of snipers is not the idea...snipers should be able to shoot anywhere on the map to anywhere on map...redline snipers need to be properly rendered and counter sniped it's that simple. Anyone calling for a range reduction does not understand how a sniper works as a force multiplier. Read this to understand snipers
You can be a force multiplier if you want, you just need to be on the actual battlefield to do so. This is a game, and it should be balanced around risk vs reward. Currently there is almost zero risk to being a sniper and you guys all want better and better reward for being a sniper - I'm okay with that, if the risk goes up proportionally, thus a shortening of range so your role is actually on the battlefield, not camped out somewhere 480m in the redline.
You want to 1shot lights, 2shot meds and 3shot heavies? Fine. What increased risks are you willing to take for these strengths?
You cannot have everything.
I agree that the sway and crouching mechanics suck, I'm aware that it's hard to kill things and stuff doesn't render properly and I want all of that to change, but in order to get that change you must compromise on something, and the compromise here needs to be range. Your entire role needs to get out of the redline and onto the battlefield.
