Problems killing snipers ? Try a 10 man zerg rush which seems to be the name of the game once I get a perfect sniping position near object, you're going to be hard pressed to escape from all 10 no matter how good you are.
Failing that drops ship spamming also works; nothing ruins your game better then running from 3 missile spammers for the entire match or getting ran over by LAV. |

Try sniping when proto suits and good gear are back in the game, you couldn't drop a proto assault even with an ishukone and the best damage mods with one hit, hell even proto scouts "tanked" the shots on occasion and never mind proto heavies.
Everyone is running around in militia gear without a clue, stopping to look at the map in the open ...
You people are just jealous that we snipers get plenty of kills from clueless noobs but once they've died enough it's starts getting harder get skills, just like in previous builds where you always knew who was a n00b.
N00b was that guy who stopped running in the open where veterans never stopped moving and always zig zagged and ran in and behind a cover.
Also veterans don't stand still when they get shot, unlike noobs who wonder "oh some one's shooting me, maybe he won't hit if I move just a little bit behind this corner" where they should have ran like a devil was on their heels.
Also sometimes on ambush I've spawned right on a perfect distance from an enemy who instead of starting playing just stands there...
Well sadly for you I'm not giving you any mercy for being a noob and me spawning where I can snipe you right from the start.
Then we have ++ber noobs who get on a top of hill shooting well obviously those guys just beg getting sniped by standing still on a hill top shooting my team mates ...
I short use your brain cells and stop whining at least this isn't cod with those quick scoping ****, OHK every single time sniper rifles. |

Also I use exclusively tactical rifle mainly because it can shot twice sometimes even thrice in a row before enemy starts moving and because I feel that charged version doesn't suit that well for counter sniping.
Now not only tactical does have a slightly better sight picture it also seems to have the longest range of all the "n00b sniper rifles" previous build didn't count for range but this build does.
Usually i don't have issues with hit detection but this I was sniping with a rail gun ... and I dunno in what nook or cranny that sniper was sitting but the indicator was red and his buddy right next to him to some nice somersaults while he just kept on sniping until my 5th shot hit the jack pot. 
I know the large rail isn't the most accurate weapon but so far "if it's red, it's dead" has been true every single time, also killing a drop ship was near impossible as if the rail did no damage at all to it.
I did one shot a (obviously militia) tank and a LAV with the gun though so it can't be damage, range perhaps but it's impossible to say far that drop ship actually was.
So just a hint man a rail gun start sighting on the hill tops and you have snipers dropping like flies ... 
anyway on topic with snipers:
If you see someone sitting alone -> sniper
if you see a chevron running off to weird direction -> sniper
if you see your sniper zooming in to a single chevron -> sniper
if you die while hacking -> sniper
if you die at all -> sniper
:P
Edit:
Also people are getting "tank" back up again for assault suits taking sometimes as much as 3 hits to drop.
Edit:
Also now that we can see how much shield / armor you have we as a sniper can weed out the wounded ones from the pack first which obviously plays a lot for the kills.
I'm also sorry for ambushing someone 'triage site' and killing the ressed up guy twice and the logi right after. |

I wonder if my new acquired 'officer' sniper rifle will dent those LAVs either but 325 base dmage is still sweet no matter what way you look at it.
A shame I have only 10 but maybe I'll gee lucky again I also have several "free" proto scout suits and lots of complex dmg mods, it's going to be a one expensive test drive once I have all the skills up.   |

Well sometimes I miss because I can't shoot them fast enough. |
