HAV inertia increased so switching from forward to backward movement is more realistic, and reduce fuel injector boost to speed.

With the Delta proposal for snipers it reminds me of throwing chum in shark (sniper haters) infested waters and creating a feeding frenzy.

That snipers are risk-free is a fallacy, posts #29 and #30 address that as do others that point out how ADS are a major risk to snipers.

Every decent sniper knows that all snipers can be counter sniped, I agree some are harder than others but all can be countered. I understand that the slayer mentality player doesnt want to delay the slayer play style to deal with a sniper or that slayers dont like to snipe (hence the resistance to use a counter sniper). I understand that slayers want to casually walk up to a crouching aiming sniper and kill it EZ. Snipers are attracted to the long shot not the mid-range shot or CQC. The argument to reduce range isnt because snipers are risk-free, its more that slayers dont want deal with what counters a sniper.

Sniper rifles are for the most part UP. The Charge (proto) and Thales (officer) are the most damaging ones and they should be. As far as risk/reward , the snipers are lower risk but are rewarded less. Anyone that says they are no-risk and high reward are trying to sell you a bridge.
