I was watching a special on TV and it was talking about snipers. They are the most effective. They also have rifles that shoot real real far. Why can't in game we have a longer range than any other class or make a special gun with longer range that only advanced rifleman can use. Also do u see real snipers - no - thats the point they sit back and pick off targets.


We should have a conceal shot that conceals us from everyone - at least for a time.

I get your point, but it's not quite true. Artillerymen have the highest kill ratio.

I was today lurking around anchorhead - about 10 kills in the row, than i saw larger battle and decided to help Empire even more. Well I wont do that again without my own group. I was owned by zerg, 5 or more pets get on me. Than came the masters for DB - they stand in queue, but they seemed happy. Unfortunately this games is not about weapons, skills, equipment, its mostly about pets. You get ATST - right, you got rancor - wow, you are semigod. Master CH/BE ownes everyone. You can incap masters, maybe you can even make DB, but then - see you in clone.

Modern Arty possibly. But look at the round / casuality ratio even back in Vietnam and it wasn't so. I think a better phrase is that the sniper has the most cost efficient kill ratio. Even at 50% hit ratio for a sniper (conservative estimate I think) and you get one casuality for about $0.20 at market prices. I'm sure the military gets a bulk purchase ammo discount even if you factor in the special ammo they give snipers. Of course the .50 sniper cost is more but still less than artillery shells.

Lol, Flask....


I get owned in PVP at Master CH, Pets go bye bye in less than 2 minutes, they incap me, warning shot my pets, and then incap them as well. Pets are a total joke to good PVP'ers, and always have been, It doesn't matter how many hitpoints they have, or how hard they hit, they still do less damage than any elite combat class.


If you are getting whaled on in PVP then you need to learn tactics. It's not others pets that kill me btw, it's other players, almost always a BH/Commando since upgrades, but I find that challenging and like it.


Also we kill at least one AT-ST per night in my little group of friends, so AT-ST are also getting to the point of being useless as well. They are challenging, but they always fall with our tactics.


Sorry, only newbs get owned by pets.
