I am an OG Scout Sniper, the true suit of the sniper, the scout, not commando. I went up against the likes of Gem and Zan, i was taught by Atiim and Gem.
And I am saddened by how snipers are now. I can't even use em because they are just so bad. We need a buff. We need it now.
I like sniping in a commando suit because if I'm in my spot and can't find any targets because the flow of battle morphed elsewhere, I can just get off my duff, switch to my AR or whatever and join the fray without needing to swap my suit first... |

Fine, call them marksman rifles or whatever tickles your fancy...
I don't know who all these people are who want some huge range/damage buff that will encourage folks to move even farther behind the redline... You'd need a perfect connection to even get your shot to register on a moving target, and once you get past 500-550m, things in your scope are going to look really "skippy"...Personally, I'd rather have an adjustable scope (or at least some better crosshairs)
For all this talk about math and physics, we should be damned glad sniper shots are instant, linear and predictable; instead of how much more of a PITA it would be if we had to compensate for bullet drop...

At that velocity, the round disintegrates at right around 450m |

At that velocity, the round disintegrates at right around 450m So its a expensive candy corn shooter. I'm pretty sure since there's no actual fire or explosive involved in a railgun and just fletchettes,I'm pretty sure it can hold up for a little more than just 450m.
Well, we're talking make-believe sci-fi physics anyway, so what the hell does it matter?
If you have this overbearing need to engage infantry in this game at distances well past 450m, you're doing it wrong... Maybe sniping isn't for you. |
