Do you wonder why so many people are complaining CCP?

I GOT DESTROYED IN ONE SHOT BY THE THING WITH DAMAGE TO SPARE! Over a thousand damn points from a sniper rifle?

Maybe that's what I'll spec into when we get the next build, so I can fight like a child too.

This is absolutely unbelievable. Takes me at least 4 shots to take down advanced heavy suits with a forge gun, and I have splash damage. Can't run fast, can't turn fast, charge time of at least 2.5 seconds, yet this guy gets a sniper rifle that can do over 1000 damage per hit? Are you looking to make anti tank rifles?

Eat it, CCP. If you don't make the heavy's description true to word, I'm absolutely sure you're going to lose more people.

Stop listening to these assault fanboys, they don't know what they're talking about anyway.

Yep, that's a thale's sniper for you. Get yourself a militia dropship and find the guy next time, ok?

If it is taking you 4 shots to take down anybody with a forge gun, it is because you are missing. The militia forge gun does 1200 base damage, without any damage modifiers. A direct hit with a forge will OHK anybody.

As to the "anti-tank rifles" argument, A sniper rifle has 10% efficiency toward vehicles. That means 50 damage per hit with the thales (as headshot bonuses are not available)

For a while, I really hated Manus Peak.

... Hell, I still kinda hate Manus Peak.

Then I picked up a tactical sniper rifle, found a little-used spot, and went sniper hunting.

Feelings of helpless rage much reduced.

Yes, there's a measure of irony there. No, I don't give a kitten. There's nothing quite like double-tapping the bastard who's been one-shotting your team.

the glitchers are the ones that really get my goat though, pop multiple rounds into their heads and nothing but a flash of blue, or they are shooting you through a rock and how that rock will allow them to see and shoot you while blocking your shots is beyond me.
Same with some walls... I've been shot through a wall before ugh....

That's what J11 did to me . Pulled out my Thale again. Got lots more where they came from. Once trading starts you will see more Thales out there. My corpmates have around 500 to trade .

Its gonna be fun harvesting those tears

Saw a dude go 40-0 head glitching on Anus Peak with a charge sniper rifle. Hope that map is gone after May 6.

LMMFAO, so darn funny to see this rant. This guy actually sent me a in game mail threatening my life if he ever met me. Im guessing im the reason for this entertaining thread. HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA

You or any other random sniper with a Thale

While this is true and I agree, let me play devil's advocate with this one, for someone to kill with the forge gun its requires either high ground against the target, or calculating the arc of the shell, just like the Thale's zoom. But unlike the forge gun, you can sit on the redline, even behind the mcc drop point and still rack plenty of kills without ever breaking a sweat with the Thale.

TL;DR: The dmg is fine, the zoom.... a lil too much, at least on the current maps.

Sleepy how come you never play anymore? I'd love to see what all this hype is about

Lol @ complaining about a OHK gun while using a OHK gun.

Speaking of rarity... has anyone actually used a Balac's N-17 Sniper Rifle?

I remember back when you could kill militia tanks with an AR you could also take out dropships at range with the Thale

The Thale is a glorious machine passed down to us from the heavens to pass judgement on the vermin below. From our mountains among the clouds we reign terror leaving nothing but butthurt and broken controllers in our presence.

long live the gayar snipicus

Just wait for the Minmatar SR's. It'll have nothing but an ironsight for aiming, but when it hit's something it has a 3m blast radius

323*1.10*1.15*1.2722 (stacking with 4 complex damage mods) = 519.8146

519.8146*1.95 (headshot bonus) = 1013.638 damage.

I would like to point out that it is increasingly more difficult to get a headshot with the thales due to its increased zoom fidelity. To put this in context though:

These assumptions are based on having Sniper Rifle Operation V, Sniper Rifle Proficiency 5, a prototype suit with 4 high slots, 4 damage mods AND an OFFICER weapon. There is absolutely every reason in the world that a fit like this would one shot your best suit (with a headshot only mind you) and two shot it with body shots.

EDIT: just to put your post in context:

You'd pull your cord against me over LAN homie.

Was it a head shot?
