Will the Thale's continue to work along the lines of the Garden Variety Sniper Rifle with Charge-caliber damage, Garden Variety clip and improved zoom?

As for the Charge, define "smallest clip and ammo".

I don't use the TacSR now and probably will continue to not do so as lining up a headshot at relatively close range against a dropsuit zig-zagging toward me is outside of my ability. But the proposal seems to accomplish what you set out to do for the TacSR (i.e.: giving it a niche).

I need those first two questions answered before I can be 'okay' with this nerf, though.

Thale's will be an improved "normal" sniper rifle, with the same zoom. The Thale's zoom will be removed from the game.

Charged Sniper - 3 shot clip, 15 ammo.

You can call it a nerf all you want, we think it is a massive buff to headshots and the role.

15 max ammo? That's the only change I disapprove of.

Loving every change, but 15 max ammo? C'mon. 18 max ammo, please. That's 6 mags per rifle instead of 5.

Also, will the Charge be given more damage per shot/charge than the standard? It doesn't have a much higher headshot percentage, and with the less range, I expect it be used for body shots more often than not (one shot, one kill).

That's literally no problem.

So what you're saying is, the calmando makes a high damage long range weapon even higher damage So it can be used as a sniper suit Prime League champion SGL Sidearm champion Fanfest '14 All star champion

I assume ratatti means to say "yes" to the charge rifle doing more damage to body shots, because its a low DPS rifle with high alpha Prime League champion SGL Sidearm champion Fanfest '14 All star champion
