Max range of sniper rifle is 599, so you can calculate from there.
If I snipe, I'm rarely doing it from one objective into another. I suggest that you watch the range of your targets, and go from there. Maps like skim junction and manus peak can have targets 700+m away, ashland only 100. |

Actually, it helps a lot. It is definitely needed on a number of maps. It is an absolute must if you plan on counter-sniping.

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say here o.o care to elaborate? |

Just need a better TV xD lol. You can snipe fine @ 700+m
edit: @ that range you can see everything, body, legs, head, gun, arms, feet :P |

ah fine. Let me finish some corp battle stuff and then I'll take some pictures and upload them for you. |

That is not true. It works. 5% per level. I was sniping on my alt earlier today (chick chicky boom)
If you're out of your max range, it doesn't show 0% most of the time. It doesn't show anything at all. To check your max rage, watch a guy running in your general direction who is out of your range. Keep your sights on him. Once your sights turn red, you'll get the target info, and that should be your max range. Of course, you could just calculate it and use that trick to figure out if your calculations are right or wrong.
I'll try to get you pix tomorrow bob, going to sleep after CB stuff D: Idk if you still want since Yani and maybe other can just confirm that you see people past 599 m, but yah, I'll get you some pix tomorrow. My favorite map to snipe on is Skim Junction. Depending on the map size, I can snipe from almost my spawn into the opposing team's spawn. |

oh, I can get a shot easily lol.
I was trying to say that on my screen I can see targets with arms and legs and heads at over seven hundred meters. It's just that my camera isn't that good.

It's just 610m, but it should show you that if you upgrade light weapon sharpshooter, you will be able to hit targets beyond 599m.
light weapon sharpshooter is 5% bonus to range per level. L5 is 25% bonus, so with it you'll be able to hit targets at over 745meters.
Snipers like to hide behind enemy lines, and if you upgrade your range a lot, then you can hit the enemy snipers from your spawn and you'll never have to move for the entire game.
Poison Prey was hitting targets close to 800m (he said km, but it's m :P) because he upgraded proficiency too.
I could take pics at longer ranges, but I'm going to figure out the passive resist for tanks first :P
edit: and on a side note, don't be like that guy and snipe in a scout suit -_- |

I suggest skilling up your SMG (or perhaps pistol) skills so that you can engage in some CQC. Also, sitting in the same place that every other sniper in the game does sometimes is a bad idea.
I have 0 skills in infantry and run pure MLT, so as long as I am not running people over in a car, you should be able to come out on top (just pay attention to your blind spots) |

But some of my favorite snipers multi-taskers. They can run with infantry and switch to scopes when needed, either using a secondary weapon as a primary (ie pistol), the sniper rifle itself to hit close to medium range targets, but still have the ability to take a position up high to take out enemies and make calls.
Just keep in mind that using a Ishkone or other proto sniper (like the kaala) makes you a huge high-priority target. Killing someone using proto gear gives the person who did it lots of isk, and they just made you spend lots of isk because those things are expensive. |

Just don't snipe me too many times if I am on foot because then I'll pull out my proto tank and we can play one of my favorite games, MY RAILGUN IS BIGGER THAN YOURS.
:P
Yah, I was surprised you didn't move up sooner, but then I was like well more isk for me! I thought you would have gone up to objective E and climbed the ladder up onto the pipes there. Obj. C is risky, but might have also been alright. We controlled the CRU by objective A, so it would have been a bad idea to go up those pipes for most of the game.
A meatshield of easy-to-kill blue dots is usually useful if you're sniping. If you're alone, you're pretty much undefended, especially if you have someone in a free suit who does not care about red-line suicides. |

But do please Mr. Bob, don't fling me into dat drop-ship. |
