The Sniper class needs some sort of stability control when shooting. It's nearly impossible to get a head-shot with the current setup. The cross-hair just moves all over the place while zoomed in, and trying to kill a moving target is just impossible.

Push triangle to crouch and wait a second. |

It would also be nice to, ontop of those skills, purchase a bipod for prone players to super stabilize the sniper, but it may take a while to pack and deploy, or purchase foregrips to stabilize the gun without forcing you to deploy a bipod. |

"Super-stabilize"? When you crouch for a second the reticule sways exactly not-at-all. I am not sure how much more stabilized you could possibly get. |

Basically, tactics such as "no-scoping", "quick-scoping", and strafing while sniping are impossible in this game, a mechanic I think is quite beneficial. |

Crouching helps, as does a secondary skill I forget the name of, that reduces sway by 5% per level (its in the weapons group for skills, maybe Sniper Proficiency). Even standing, the sway pattern is fairly predictable with practice.
It would seem also that different rifles have different sway. When I use a militia rifle the rifle sight picture moves more than with a bought charge rifle. |

The Skill is "Sniper rifle Specialization" (maybe Prof.. dont have it open atm.. 6 of one, half dozen of the other) and it unlocks at Snipe 5. 5% reduction to sway per level. I didn't need to go past 3.
You do become more stable standing, but nowhere near enough to make it easy.
Crouch and you become almost too stable. |

The worst is lag. Then the Zoom/ADS keeps flipping off/on briefly, making the aim go all over the place. Usually worst if you have a high-lag player nearby from my observation. |

Really? I spent a lot of skill points into skills that amps up my sniper rifle's damage to the max so if I do hit it usually kills them outright... With a militia sniper rifle!
185 damage + 35% damage buff = 249.75 potential damage?
Guess I put stability on that too.
Playing with militia since getting kills apparently nets you better earnings on average, and this sniper rifle really cripples people when you nail them from afar making it easier to pick off when your team shoots at them.
The issue is that sooner or later, we'll see players with much higher level dropsuits so they'll have like 200+ shields and 100+ hp for a scout...

I notice players lagging while I'm sniping, they rubberband or frame skip a bit and don't run smoothly across the terrain. |
