SO why not remove the Binoculars/Spotting scope so that Snipers will be more inclined to have to use a spotter? MUCH like the THREE bandages were removed from the sniper kit, why not remove the optics except for the rifles optics? If the goal is to somehow integrate the sniper kit into a squad role/function than more work needs to be done.
-Let me also edit to add something else on if it is ok.-
Perhaps make the movement speed of the zoomed scope be very slow so that it will further still encourage the use of someone with binocs or a spotting scope who has the ability to check shooting lanes quickly while you slowly move your scope on target. Heck make the view you get through the zoomed scope very small also.

Yeah, if you're trying to support your squad and are having frustrations because you can put accurate shots downrange fast enough you should consider the DM kit. It's wizard inside of 600 meters, it's available more often than not and you can still shovel as an infantryman when it's FOB building time
You just don't get to tote a 92fs and be unique and cool

Its is absurd to act like the people with the Sniper has some other mission. You're not going on a 3 day stalk to kill the enemy commander. So Dirty Berd I do not think you chose the wrong kit. Your method may be a little off though. The Sniper kit needs more patience and thought to a shot. You only get one shot half the time on a visible. target.
The times are accurate. There is more to consider that simply throwing a scope to your eye, looking at the target, fire. The times are put in place to simulate all the adjustments to your body, rifle, and the scope that we can't have in game before placing a shot. They have been adjusted and worked on for a long time.
Simply, you need to have patience, you must shoot where he is going to be. They are not going to stand still for you and ask you if you are ready.
Really the rest of your post just seems like a wish for Dirty Berd's perfect sniper kit fairy land. We all can't have a kit personalized to our own specs, and the things you've pointed out really aren't so important to the game. Binoculars are just binoculars, if you want different field of view, use your scope.
In the real world you get whatever equipment is issued to you.
Consider this kit issued to you by the DEVs and it is up to you to make it work.
Also, consider, that your fighting style may be better suited for a Rifleman or DM kit where you can take all the fallow up shots you want as fast as you want.
Fairy land is where your boyfriend lives jack ***, not where my thinking is. It's people like you that help make this game stagnant. I read somewhere that they were going to try and make a retail version of this game.......Good luck. I posted this in this section because I couldn't post it in the suggestions thread. Thanks for regurgitating your useless opinion all over my thread.

Because this is a suggestion outside of the appropriate forum, as well as being a topic that has been talked about on numrous occasions I am going to lock this thread.
The post count limit on the suggestions forum is there for a reason.
