I have realized a few things in my returning to being a Sniper Scout.
1.) I excepted way too much going in. I thought with me being a sniper previously, it would be much easier to go back to doing what I did when i first started playing. I thought i could just pick it right on up. That is never the case. I still think like a sniper, knowing where all the perches are helps when sniper hunting. Helps me hide from snipers more, I had not been sniped before I started returning to my sniper ways. Previously, I would hide more, made sure my body was never facing the hills. always had cover to protect myself from snipers. When I started sniping again, that was not the case. I got sniped a **** ton, most perches don't have cover for you to hide behind, when you have hills to block you, part of your hitbox is still exposed for other snipers to hit. It only takes a sliver of hitbox to get sniped, because that bullet can hit it.
2.) I am a horrible sniper. A scary realization. I am just not as good as I was before. I can not go back to being a sniper, i just can't. It has a hard learning curve. I got a few headshots, one while the enemy was moving which usually would be child play to me. But I just can't get the kills i did before. I just can't.
So I have tweaked my goal. I am going to still return to being a bastard. I am an original bastard. Every game I have ever played, that had the scout class, I would pick that class. No matter the game. And this class of ours, is so different yet so similar through so many different games. All require stealth, reconnaissance, and being a dirty bastard.
I am going to spec out of Amarr Sentinel, don't know when, soon hopefully, as soon as I get the money. I'm broke. But I am going to spec into Shotgun, Assault Rifle, Nova Knives, Gallente Scout and obviously the core scout skills. I am going back to my bastard ways. I will join a PC corp. I will prove that I can be a scary bastard.
I am not going to be the best. But I will strive to be ******* terrifying. SoonGäó o7 Very inspiring.
Sad to hear that it didn't work out for you.

This thread inspires me to return to forge sniping with my sentinel, just like the beta days when I first stroked the cool handle of a forge gun.
I just hope I'm not too rusty.

I'd give you tips on sniping but a lot of it has to do with muscle memory for lining up shots/follow-up ones. You probably have perch locations, situational, and map awareness down though having previously been a sniper. I only recently came back like two weeks ago. Since the 200m range nerf and the change to matchmaking, i've yet to have a 30+ kill game sniping. I've had a couple 23, 21, and 21 kill games these past few days. Depending on when it puts me in battle or the competition; the kill count will vary. Been sniping in offline games for 10+ years and online for about 3. Feel free to ask about anything if you need any advice. Good luck though if you wish to keep sniping.
I see you coming from a mile away.

I have no muscle memory anymore, all i have anymore is perch locations and situational and map awareness down. So i can be one terrifying Sniper hunter. But I am a horrible sniper, I appreciate the tips, i really do, but i think I'll just adapt to this realization and become a hunter. I will still defend Snipers to the bitter end though. o7 You have my respect for walking down the path of the lonely.

it does get lonely, but sometimes it gets filled with hate mail and tears haha. i've got a scout alt though for the more infiltrator style scout.

Day 1..again.
Part 1: The Way of the Bastard.
I took today in full swing. Despite Scotty being a taunting asshat, showing me go into battle but I never actually deploy because SCOTTY IS A TAUNTING ASSHAT. I got into a few FWs today, won most of them, going positive with my Shotty. I don't use a cloak. I skilled into ADV cloak but I don't use it, and I'm not fully skilled into hardly anything Scout yet. Still struggling with that damn Sentinel on my back. But despite that, I am striving. With my shotty in hand, I blap everything I see. Still can't knife worth a damn. But the last FW I went into, it was horrible. I was on the rigid end of a stomp. Not proto. But a stomp nonetheless. I witnessed Noob Cavman slaughter everything with his fists of fury. I tried killing him but Arirana denied me my sneaking kill and shotty'ed me over and over. Got destroyed by MINA and a bunch of other vets yesterday in a FW, but that was worse.
After that I had to take a break.
After my break, I squadded with just PARKOUR PRACTITIONER, both of us testing out the MyoLOLs on our Scouts. I actually loved it. I slapped them on my Federation G/1 and it seemed to help me more, despite me going nothing but negative in our matches together. I even think I'm keeping those blue quafe bottles on my scout. Currently running just a simple Scout fit:
I'll post it for anyone interested:
Federation Scout G/1: HS: 2 Militia-soon-to-be-complex MyoLOLs LS: 2 Complex Ferro, 1 Complex Kincat LW: HK4M Shotgun Sidearm: CreDron Ion Pistol M1 Core Locus Grenade Basic Drop Uplink and soon to be, Federation Marine GA-L SKIN.
I got some pretty interesting kills with that fit. As I was running to flip the point, two CalAsses came out of nowhere and met with two consecutive blaps to their unholy faces. Headshot +60 Headshot +60, #SerpentisShotty4Lyfe. Another one was a guy running to the CRU, I jumped and blapped him in the back of his head. I am really having fun with this renewed realization of mine, I haven't had this much fun since beta.
Right now I am on break, my girl being here, but later tonight after downtime is when i conquer the EU players. I have had a few run ins with Team Nyain previously at night time for me, though that was back when I was an Assault.
Part 2 coming later tonight. o7
