The current sniper rifle has a lot of issues. ]
1. The zoom is awful. The weapon has a range of 600m but the zoom is set up for a weapon that is suppose to be used within 200m. Head shots are almost impossible because the heads are the size of grain 300m out.
2. The hit detection is awful, almost 50% of the shots I actually hit don't render. I know they hit because the blue flare of the shields.
3. Head shot damage bonus is terrible. It currently takes over 4 headshots with a protostype sniper rifle to kill some heavies. It takes entire clips to body shot kill them and that's if they don't waddle away into cover.
4. The base damage is too low. After the Assault buff, almost every suit tanks over 750 ehp and scouts average around 450. Proto Assaults tank near 900 ehp. Even with 4 body shots from proto snipers these suits don't go down. The damage mod nerf hurt when damage mods came down from 10%. Even two headshots don't kill some of these suits.
5. The scope sway when standing up. No other weapon in the game has this sway so I don't see my Snipers do. It's the future, I'm pretty sure all the suits have a anti-sway system built into them except it's been programmed not to work with sniper rifle. Why?
6. The proficiency nerf really hurts aswell. Alpha damage weapon with no Alpha? What!!?
Edit: the Redline issue occures because the best sniping spots are in the redline. Outside of the redline, there are barley any hills to sit on and very bad vantage points.

personally i think whining about shield damage is stupid and always has been stupid.
even with my amarr sentinel's 10% bonus shield resistance to sniper rifles a charge or thales will take them out with one bullet. then you can pretty much take me out with two more bullets even if they're not headshots probably
and that's full proto we're talking about. you need to realize that in a game where armor is OP a damage penalty to shields is not much of a problem.
just target scouts and don't bother with anything caldari

Plus INFINITE. You've made my point. They need a buff, I mean like FR this game is in the future. Snipers should be able to one shot kill a caldari/minmatar assault and everything below(all logis unless tanked and all scouts) like come on it's a sniper rifles. How many movies or games or real life events do you see in one survives a shot with a sniper. It's a high damage rifle but that's not what's met in this game anymore. My way if seeing it, snipers should have adjustable zoom(if not possible than atleast buff standard to tactical and tactical gets a buff.) and the standard sniper should do 250 damage adv 300 and proto 375. Using standard, that would be a one shot scout, 2 shot medium and 3-5 shot heavy. Tactical should be 180, 210,240. Thales would have to go to 400. Logis would need a buff as they are the only suits that haven't gotten one. That would pretty much fix it I believe.

The numbers would be without damage mods. Headshots bonus(with the numbers above) should stay as is with the high Alfa damage.

They're full of trolls and non-constructive. Their only argument to the reason Snipers shouldn't be buffed is because redline.

Scouts are near impossible to kill because awful hit detection.

Most people run heavies so why not. They will go out quicker. Most scouts use cloaks. Assault got the buff. And these numbers aren't really even enough to one shot kill most meds or above so when some one tells me that I should watch my numbers, they should watch there back before I snipe them.

From my experience doing the sniping the proper way no redline scrubyness is that the hit detection is bad my shots don't connect and do damage
