Snipers.

Sit in the comfort of the MCC and snipe all day long with impunity.
Virtually impossible to identify the location of a sniper at long range or in heavy combat.
Have the ability to hit with one-shot kill shots from 900m, which is simply ridiculous.

The LAV Wanker
The primary purpose of LAVs isnGÇÖt to run over people to gain kills.
LAVs are essentially immune to small arms fire.
Occupants of a LAV cannot be attacked or harmed.

Suggestions

Force better contrails so that sniper locations are exposed.
Increase the difficulty of long-range sniping, and decrease common interest for sp farming.
Longer range sniping = lower power hit.
ShouldnGÇÖt be able to one-shot kill well tanked suits from 900+m.
Disallow sniping from inside the MCC. This is just complete rubbish and should have been banned 6 mos ago.

Weaken LAV impact resistance. If theyGÇÖre used as anti-personnel devices for direct impact they should sustain damage.
Shields can be weakened from repeated impacts, making the occupants vulnerable to direct assault.
Allow defenders to target the occupants of the vehicles with weapons.

Also:
Heavy suits claim to be able to withstand direct impact from a LAV, and they donGÇÖt. Why?

Basically I'm saying that we should discourage the use of these roles in the manner that they have been exploited by building some weaknesses or limitations.

Thanks.

I haven't played in a couple of days so I gotta ask, 900 meters. Really?
MCC sniping (inside or on top) needs to be fixed.
But back in the hills, dude, a sniper isn't a close range combatant. They are designed to be
sneaky and far away and hard to locate. It's part of who they are. Pick up a sniper rifle and
counter snipe. You might find that at really long range aiming becomes a bit more difficult.
A 900 meter shot is either luck, badass skill or you stood in place WAY too long.

You know you can pick the driver out of the seat with a sniper rifle right? Yep you can.
While they're annoying, theres a few simple things to deal with them already in place.
Swarm launchers / forge guns / av grenades / remote explosives / proximity mines.

LLAV's need looked at, the rest are fine. Snipers are fine as well.

@Spkr
Whoa whoa, I know. I was more refering to getting the point system fixed so they can do
what they're supposed to do instead of doing what they do now, as a source for points.
Though imho I think the hp's need to be dropped a bit, I ain't asking for a nerf.
Probably should've been more clear on that...

There will be less snipers in the MCC when CCP make quick-scoping so much easier, anyone can quick-scope right now but it takes too long to aim for the .2 second needed for quick-scope. Snipers should be able to kill anyone from any range. I want to make a montage with quick-scoping.
