Snipers Utility

[Howitzer]

According to the guide , ingame tips and all, The sniper is a recon kit that shouldn't be used ONLY to kill.

But as i found out on a lot of rounds , the sniper is not used as it should. First it should always be used with an officer/spec-op as spotter (i know somes of you sticked to it). If not its a team issue and theres nothing to do with it and thats where my suggestion comes into life. Maybe the sniper team should be able to do more information gathering then regular fireteams. Imagine if you could put a marker on a map that would indicate a Heavily defended area , enemy commender , maybe even the active spoting system that the infantry lost in 0.7.

I always thought that the sniper needed something like that, good idea, me likey!

[Rudd]

Agreed. but i'd rather see it in the form of a new tool to help commanders who receive intel from said sniper.

similar to designate target/CAS markers. ofc, voip can do the job but not every1 speaks the same language OFC, and game chat can be lost pretty quickly.

maybe give the sniper the ability to spot in the map like vehicles have now ?

that will represent the radio they carry and also the recon ability

Nooooooo! No spam spotting

[ralfidude]

ok not spam spotting but come on, the snipers job is to recon, so give him recon capabilities. For now its limited to squad leader, the commander should get that intel as well.

I agree, I would allow the sniper to have the active spotting feature that was removed in .7, simulating them sending information to the team about enemy movements. This would also make Snipers a much more valuable asset and target for the enemy to engage. Something of this nature should be implemented. Nice idea.

They should only get a soflam, that would be perfect.

Many times you hear the sniper squads saying there are tanks in their area, well if they had a soflam. They could lase those tanks for the pilots.

They should not get active spotting, more like the zoom im, press q, rightclick and select.

i thought snipers could already spot lol, well i think adding this as suggested above would improve the use of this kit.

[@bsurd]

yes give the snipers a soflam

So he can himself check range to target and spot or laser it up for the hole team and not only for the squad! Would be nice to see this in future!

[Proff3ssorXman]

I think this is a great idea, it may even provoke teamwork from one of the most lone wolfiest kits in the game.

They should only get a soflam, that would be perfect.

bring a spec-ops/officier witch would be your SL in a 2 man squad (locked i my case) , the spotter give targets with markers , you just aim and shoot thats its WAY more effective than a lone ZziperzZ. Dont give a soflam to the sniper kit i say because they will just go alone because they have all the toys needed

[Waaah_Wah]

Snipers can already spot targets like the SL and the spam spotting it retarded to no thanks

[Cyrax-Sektor]

Snipers can already spot targets with the SL and the spam spotting it retarded to no thanks

Snipers can also spot targets looking through their scope.

[Howitzer]

we could revove the radio message when an ennemy is spotted . and we could also reduce the angle of witch we can spot someone so theres so random spotting.

Extreme team = SL + Specop + Sniper

The behind the line squad

[Howitzer]

Extreme team = SL + Specop + Sniper

The behind the line squad

Squad leader with officer as spotter and thats it !

Snipers can also spot targets looking through their scope.

Misspelling from my part. Men like the SL not with the SL

Today was a nice round for me as commander. One sniper with spec ops squad gave me all the intelligence a commander could dream of. Map went smooth as hell just because the sniper gave me information about rallies, squads advancing. And I simple just had to repeat that over voip to the designated squads.
