Assume you are always being targeted by a sniper. There really isn't anything you can do. Platitudes like "keep moving and stay in cover" aren't worth the time it takes to write it out. Just deal with being suddenly killed from out of nowhere, whether you were moving or in cover or not, and hope one day sniping gets brought more in line with other methods of fighting. Until then, put it in the same pile as bad hit detection and overpowered tanks. |

I too yearn for the day that sniping is brought in line with the rest of the fighting. The lack of SP awarded for the same amount of kills + hacks + spawns + resupplies is deplorable - you get more SP for going 5/10 as cannon fodder than you get for going 10/0 as a sniper(maybe this is where your balance is currently found).
What I'm saying is sniper needs to be nerfed. The SP rewards should be skewed far against snipers, because we're sitting around, safest people on the battlefield (aside from the guys who use railguns at spawn), picking people off from across the map. On what planet should that kind of gameplay be rewarded more than the guys fighting and dying while tanks, infantry, dropships, snipers, and LAVs rip them to shreds?

They aren't inaccurate. Anytime you shoot someone and you know it was a hitting shot, it's hit detection messing with you. The ISK-bought sniper rifles are as accurate as anything. |

But maybe the effectiveness of snipers is too high right now and could use toning down. Not that I like the idea, as it'd be constantly going off for anyone playing infantry and would serve no purpose other than to annoy the player, but I empathize with the feeling behind the OP. |
