ive swaped over from mminmatar to caldari tech and i have to say i cant get enough of my commando , ARR and TSnR.
im a midrange fighter prefering the 80-150m range and the high ROF, low recoill, and higher zoom just make this thing a beast with even the basic takin huge chunks out of suits for loads of assiists or intence focus with 6 shots in a clip taking out heavys and slower suits easily, its difficult taking out the damn min assault wich all my targets seem to have speced into and swap to once i kill em a few times in a match (they inevitable try to hunt me).
most other sniper suits i find are redliners/campers and people trying to engage me after getting ganked a few times due to them being unable to close that gap and get into their optimal.
all these threads recently about sniper rifles being terrible are kinda pissinng me off, most cite teh range, other the "circle of guesstimation", and i just cant abide by it, the range is fine! you shouldnt be that far away anyways as it takes ALOT llonger to reposition to take advantage of sight lines the further away you are creating longer downtime and less active uptime reducing how much you can pin the enemy down. Ive witnessed entire teams break off an assault and bunker down because of me just laying shots into the crowd the only break being when i reload (wich is not long since i have max reload +commando bonus).
Use the weapon properly and get out of teh damn redline/max weapon range and the sniper rifle starts to shine!
i hate the normal rifle BTW its not too useful against moving targets and the charge cant lay down supressive fire even when you need it.

indeed it is, i run around in a basic all the time and start picking on protos trying to get them to break off from game objectives to hunt me down. at the end of the day my basic suit does really well against everything that isnt a minmatar assault... damn that strafe BS

What's your weekly K/D and W/L (or monthly if you've been using it that long)? I want to hear exactly how 'competitive' it is... Have your stats increased or decreased since you started using it?

i dont play oftin enough to have reliable stats (aka more than 1k kills a week)
also ive been playing so long that my all time KD/R just nevver changes, its always 3.6* and has been that way for a year now due to me having 80000+kills
i dont care about W/L becuase LOL
im a headhunter, i seek out individuals and target them for extra isk (corp funded :P), said people (who tend to belong to the top 500) tend to get bitter and like trying to hunt me down, so i have to be able to deal with being outnumbered as well. Hilariously enough my W/L ratio has actually gone up with it because its forced entire proto stomp squads to forgo objectives in an attempt to hunt me down...
OMG the supressive fire is insane.... i can lock down entire squads and prevent them from advancing or if they advance quickly reduce their numbers due to them being pre weakened by the supressive fire.... its monsterous.
nobody uses sniper rifles the way i seem to use them (long range supressive fire, and mid range just outside other weapons optimal ranges)
also leave KDR out of it, if were talking pure KDR tthen an amaar/gal sentinal with a sniper rifle is the most competitive setup that exsists... wich is clearly not true.
its insanely good at supression, better than the mass driver.
in short
KDR= same
WLR = improved due to proto squads being forced to chase me around the map instead of focusing on objectives :P
WP = increased over strait slayer due to increased assists from supression
to be honest though Tac Snipers are definatly PC viable in the right hands, you cant spam it though as it is a support and supression weapon much like the mass driver (only better at it)
