For snipers, as I already…[/quote]
You do what you like Montiel, if they mess up Sparks i will quit.[/quote]
The problem is that she’s going to be the best sniper overall and this can’t happen. She already has an edge with revivr : with a third of revivr’s charge you can 1 htk mercs with 120 hp on very long range. That’s abusive on its own for a merc that is not supposed to be a pure sniper. I’m not asking much, there’s pretty mcuh no damage drop off for the revivr and they might just increase a little it to reduce its long range usefulness.[/quote]
Well, to be honest that’s kind of a problem with the maps and the game itself. Without gibbing Snipers and Recon in general don’t really do anything.
It’d be cool if Recon were a mix of Medic and something else (O HAI SPARKS) or Recon and Engineer Specialist (Oh hey…Phantom, how are you?).
Arguably so far the only one I’d say fits the mold is Red Eye, and he’s not even underpowered really imo, just the skill floor is pretty high considering everything else and the Grandeur and Dreiss, well, they aren’t where they should be.
Devs nerfed the Dreiss cause it was too good in skilled hands…but that’s kind of the point. Higher skill floor for higher results and rewards, it makes sense for it to be at least somewhat more powerful than the M4.
Honestly DPS doesn’t mean shit when most of the game is hipfire, I just want to be able to reliably hit a target the size of a head from one end of the street to another, even if it means the bloom per shot is bigger than Pamela Anderson’s %#$@#%^@.
[quote="[FeaR]Ace;94180"][quote=“Faraleth;94088”]@"[Fear]Ace" the reason is, because it completely destroys the pace of the game. You’d also be completely dead from 10 shots of an SMG, or even a single headshot from a pistol - you don’t get that in DB though. It’s about gameplay balance, not “realism”. If you want that, I suggest playing something like CS:GO 
I personally think it would be awesome to remove the insta-gib from the sniper rifles, because right now, Vassili is just over-powered in terms of his viability in competitive. If you can headshot and instagib an enemy, that’s 1/5 of the enemy team down INSTANTLY, without the chance to revive. He will still be powerful without it, just not an instant pick over the likes of Red-Eye. It would also make Red-Eye more viable/relevant. :)[/quote]
Yes yes i get your point about realism i (also) dont want it to be like lets just shoot some1 and then hes just dead and unrevivable coz that would mess up the game, then medics would be useless. and i like Dirty Bomb as it is but i think vassili will be useless when they remove the instagibs from his sniper rifles.

Then maybe the issue is that Recon doesn’t do enough to justify their existence…which is actually a damn good argument honestly. I mean look at Phantom, and look at Red Eye and how often he’s actually used even though he’s damn good merc.
