It's very hard to get headshots now. Maybe if you added a way to choose your reticle? Then you could spec into certain reticles for the SR. Proto FG/HMG Amarr Sentinel. CCP's Problem

Sat on the ground below the central tower, with me sat on the base of the tower. We were flanked, as a squad it was handle great, we had 2 lavs pullup right beside us, 2 heavies 1 logi 1 assault guy, we all survived. Had a Gk.0 redline try and counter us with his charge, he was down fast. It was great. Give me my scrambler pistol back....

Rail rifles are only semi-effective at 75m and useless at 100m. And with the current reticle, that's not too far away from my preferred headshot range. I like to consider myself an accurate sniper. On average, I land 4 of 5 sniper shots. With this new reticle, my comfortable range is 75m away from a RR range. In a Cal Scout with a RR, whose sprint speed is often 10+, they're only a few seconds away from getting me in their optimal range. Proto FG/HMG Amarr Sentinel. Lag Compensation Explained

That's why I recommended a customization option. the way ccp works any sort of customization would require you spending aurum for reticles because they have no idea how to offer it like a normal western dev. we should already have multiple reticles, paint schemes, outfits and customization options built in to the game.

It's very hard to get headshots now. Maybe if you added a way to choose your reticle? Then you could spec into certain reticles for the SR. My only complaint is...the new aim sight for it is counter intuitive for what a weapon is and makes no sense whatsoever which kind of makes sense if this is CCP we're talking about It's like giving a Nova Knife a Dull blade so we can joke about it being a Nova Baton [which would actually be cooler]. But to the point, a sniper is essentially a long range precision weapon and, thus, presupposes that it will be designed just for that. Having a "circle" is in no way, shape or form "precise" and even if you look back at military and weapon history snipers and long range weapons were essentially designed with the forward thinking process of a precise aim reticle for such purposes. This is really a weird of backwards approach by CCP; we want to stop over sniping in the game so lets design the weapon backwards in the thought process. So we're stuck in a game universe that can understand laws of physics in so far as bending light to create cloaks but we don't have any engineer smart enough that the smaller and more precise an aim reticle is, thje more beneficial it is for sniping. Whether you like or hate snipers, making the weapon intentionally flawed is not the way to address it

Rail rifles are only semi-effective at 75m and useless at 100m. They're effective enough to eventually kill your target.. and if they're sniping.. that damage severely hinders accuracy.

I can now see that I have someones head in my sights now instead of just assuming that the slightly transparent small red dot is on the head. I've gotten more headshots then I ever have since the hotfix.

Bone Scratcher The dyst0pian Corporation 66	Posted - 2014.08.19 21:49:00 - [25] - Quote Okay, after further experimentation, I am beginning to like it on the tactical SR. The zoom allows for a less precise reticle, and actually makes it easier. However, I do still believe that the new reticle is bad on any non-tactical SR, (except for the Thale's, because it, too, has an enhanced zoom.) If only there was a way to customize your sniper's reticle! Proto FG/HMG Amarr Sentinel. Lag Compensation Explained Just hit 1y in my corp!
