This might have been brought up on the old forums before (and most likely meet resistance) but the sniper rifle should be changed so that if you manage to hit a target that is far away it counts as a normal hit. Why did IA remove the damage from long distance shot? I guess because of offensive sniping. Still there are offensive snipers nonetheless and while it surely means no skill to snipe a still standing defender from your base, hitting a target that is going with 180mp/h really far away should deal damage since it's skill (or luck whatever you like). Also snipers are supposed to be long range support (yea they are, in small maps it works really well but on larger maps I think it would help them to catch some really far away cappers). So pros and cons:
Pros:
- Would reward skill more than it does now
- Would make the sniper a true long range support
Cons:
- Osnipers could snipe defenders from the safety of their base (therefore promotes osniping)
