So, ever since all snipers were changed a while back, I can't recall ever seeing someone use the tactical snipers. I liked them before, now they kinda suck. Just throwing this out there for CCP to look it over and tweak it.
Personally, I'd like to change its ridicule so that all snipers have the same crosshairs.
Then I'd just like to tweak the damage and range for it.

I would suggest a customizable reticle that way to find what is suitable for your standards, also I do like the Tac Sniper it's not effective against heavies its more of an anti Scout and Medium frames, but thinking about it the Tac Sniper can be useful against heavies just not Caldari Heavies.

I use it sometimes for designated marksman type stuff, and I see it plenty (however I mostly see Thales and Charged)

I actually see a reason to use it now. I used to pass it up before because it was so similar to the standard Sniper Rifle. Now I can use.it closer to the action.

There was actually a time when you could hit someone with the Tactical Sniper, it was my favorite weapon. I no longer use it.

The tactical sniper was my go to weapon with its fast recovery and minimal kick would allow me to dump my clip in a players direction landing at least 3 rounds which for most suits is lethal. The higher zoom also helps. The problem is the sight seems good, but too many times the sight will turn red, but not award damage. If any part of the circle touches a player it lights up, even though the bullet actually travels threw the center, and this causes way to many missed shots. Even still, a charged shot followed up with the tactical from a Cal commando is a heavy death sentence.
When I look down my scope, all I see are dead people.

Really Cal heavies have more shields and the sniper rifle is weaker vs shields.

+1 on the sights buff. -1 for trying to change its stats back. If you go back and find the sniper spreadsheet from whichever hot fix it was changed in, it got a MASSIVE buff. its a close encounter sniper, which is why it has a higher rate of fire along with a minor range buff comparatively to where the other snipers are at now.
In life, I have this to regret. That too often, when I acquired ISK, I did not have enough of it.

Love my Tac. It's one of my go to weapons when running solo. My Dragonfly Scout and Tac were made for each other. Highly mobile, and tough to detect. Blap a few fools and gtfo. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah, pretty sure Tac Snipers are pretty well used weapons.

Agreed with this assessment. The "circle of certainty" is the Tac SR's biggest drawback.
Shoot scout with yes.
