The further out you are, the harder it should realistically be to hit something. And yeah, it does encourage Thale's users to at least be a bit closer to the redline than they were before. Just noticing I hadn't been "thals'd" from 585m for a few days... My logi thanks you.

Before the zoom got nerfed yes the Thale out preformed the Charge because you were able to use it at a much further distance. Now that they both have the same zoom they work just the same except you dont have to charge the Thale Yeah, I career sniped for like six months back in the day. Looks like you yourself understand why the Thale's is vastly superior to the Charge. You don't have to freaking charge it. Pretty sure the Thale's also fires pretty much as fast as a Tac rifle, though I don't have the numbers in front of me. And isn't the clip larger? (Really should write these posts with numbers in front of me, lesson learned.)
Are you serious.. Are you serious right now?
(you're thinking of a Balac's Sniper Rifle it's a tactical officer variant, meaning no recoil, larger clip size, increased base damage)
What is a Thale's?
It's an Ishokune Sniper Rifle, with 50% increased damage.
(same clip size)
(same rate of fire)
(same zoom now)
Isn't 50% increased damage kind of a lot? Yes and no.
Sniper rifles aren't high rate of fire weapons. They're alpha strike weapons. Where a 10% damage increase is not something you're going notice after X seconds of sustained fire. 10% increased damage to an Ishokune is like adding 30 extra damage per bullet. You either kill someone or you don't.
Adding 50% damage to a Thale's makes targets that should normally take 3 shots, only require 2.
If someone has enough heatlh to survive 1 shot from a Thale's they also fall into the category of only requires 2.
All that takes is having around 500hp. That's not hard to do for any suit.
Upon release normal store bought sniper rifles would kill light and medium frames in 2 shots.
Prototype Sniper Rifles in todays game under perform. This is especially evident in PC. (UNLESS USING A THALE'S)
I wasn't aware of this stealth nerf that wasn't reported anywhere..
That's how snipers usually get it though..
