So, when a sniper shoots it leaves a contrail. I think that's kinda cool. Why this is a topic is because not all of them leave it behind. I was wondering what function that was.
I've noticed that when doing well with a militia SR I'll get hunted down pretty fast, but using the upper tiered SRs people will just be confused about where the shots came from.
As an aside. Going back to the militia sniper rifle and taking out those 'neo' suits is just way too much fun. |

As far as I can tell, all sniper rifles have the same tracers. |

if that were true than as soon as 1 shot is fired, anyone could see it. I know that that is not true. |

i have noticed that too, namely with the Charge sniper rifle.
I for one, like a bit of a challenge, and me being able to take 10-15 charge shots all in one sitting and nobody get it is a bit...boring. I've only used standard rifles, tactical (from what i've noticed) gets me noticed more easily, and basic sniper rifle is just too weak+slow.
Please CCP, you're hearing this from a sniper. Add contrails to each sniper :P!!! |

I've always found contrails from snipers too much handicapping for targets. You already get unlimited lives. Why not spend one those actually surveying the battlefield for sniper positions with your scope. Having a good mind for viable positions, I myself can find a sniper that's killed me with little trial and error. It's not like they can go prone or camouflage in trees and foliage |

Hide and Seek counter sniping is one of my favorite activities, even with just the basic sniper fit. There is nothing like being seeing ADV/PRO geared snipers and popping of their heads because they didn't see you first. |

contrails are awesome. I had a sniper miss my head and his contrail ended up right in front of my eyes, effectively applying an unconventional smokescreen. I missed the last couple hits on my target when I flnched because of the abrupt noise and visual disturbance. It will also prevent people from '1-handed sniping', and make the casual sniper have to work a little more tactically.
