I haven't been in swg for long and am only lv 4 rifles in the marksman tree so I expect to be shot down in flames for these.
from what I've read on these forums rifleman is hard to get, and not a very effective class, so I've come up with a few ideas which may improve things.
keep the 64m range, 2.5x melee damage thing, HAM usage and accuracy.
create a 'scope' ability in the rifle line (would require a rifle with a scope to use). the scope ability when used will give the rifleman 128m range and will bring up cross hair targetting, the lower the weapon the more the crosshairs will move i.e. T21 will not move as much as DLT20a. When shooting with crosshairs damage will be increased to the target BUT will be dependant on where you hit the target i.e. you have to hit the targets head to get maximum damage from a headshot, if you hit any other body part damage will be reduced. With higher chance of missing maximum damage shots with lower rifles, rifleman will then have to be more tactical on when to use higher rifles with greater accuracy to do maximum damage which will encourage people to use the higher weapons.
Riflemen should be feared on the battlefield, the above changes will reward good riflemen who are patient and pick their targets wisely and will not make them overpowered and will make them more of what a rifleman should be.
