I actually got oneshot by a sniper cannon.

You can keep pushing your narrative that Sniper is OP but a Level 13 Fixer getting one shot by a Level 40 Rare Sniper Cannon is not the best situation to support your argument.

Maybe post another Nerf Sniper thread.

 

It’s not a narrative, it’s a fact. Look at the clock, 4:28 still left. It’s not right that anyone should be taking over 1000 damage that early in the game, at such a low level, with virtually zero risk to the shooter.

 

I know and the thing that hurts the most is because it’s not a chance ..... he can one shot you again if you’re careless.

 

Again, a Level 13 Fixer getting one shot by a Level 40 Sniper Cannon is uncommon but not surprising if it happens. It really doesn't support your narrative.

I'm not even arguing with you. Why not post another Sniper Nerf thread? Maybe the devs will reply this time

 

I have to agree with @Kalbs on this one. Getting mauled by a pseudo-whale at low infamy doesn't make their weapon OP. The real problem is the fact that you're matched with players that much stronger than you.

 

for level 13, u are quite ahead in terms of infamy... just keep grinding bro. at 1k hp, almost any weapon from mk4/mk5s can 1-shot you. try prioritizing hp boosting talents from crew training and get a hold of better shields. or try different boats. fixers are very vulnerable at that level. Good luck

 

Op here.
What a lot of people aren't getting is that from the pictures you can clearly see that I was sort of playing exactly where I should have been in order to stay as safe as possible. If I was a mk 5 with 5k health, it would have been a different story, the problem here is that I get killed for doing pretty much nothing wrong.

 

Snipers have big range. THe problem is that u should really have more life therefore u should have more hp. Its very hard to find level 13 players at 1100 infamy, maybe if u fleeted with someone at a low mk, u would have easier opposition. With that said, u will fight mk5s a lot and it helps to be atleast mk4.

 

Damn I feel you.Back in the old days when railgun haven't been severely nerfed,I used to get one shot by rexrex with epic t3 rg(t4+5 evolution not available at that time)

 

Any level 40 rare can 1 shot a fixer with this much health.Its absurd matchmaking not sniper cannon is OP.If this was not a crit he would barely have felt it.

 

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here. You didn’t do anything wrong, the weapon is just stupid.

Snipers basically ruin the whole game. What should be a fun game of tactics and dog-fighting, turns into a terrifying WWI style trench battle, with a desolate no-man’s land in between, where no one dare go.

It’s pretty sad when you can’t even stick your nose out of cover for a half a second, without being instantly decimated by multiple long range crits.

If that’s a ‘mistake’ then there is something seriously wrong with the game.

 

your hatred for snipers is misplaced my friend... maybe at your level snipers feel OP but when you go higher their huge dependence on RNG (crit) make them quite unreliable.

 

if snipers are OP, devs would have nerfed it already... simple as that...

 

What makes you think devs have more knowledge of game?

 

They did. But, that wasn't enough,

 

Well I’m in Ace 1, and in the UK top 100, so if it’s not balanced at my level, then it’s not balanced for 95% of the game.

And ‘unreliable’ is BS, if they are so ‘unreliable’ then why are half the top 50 players running two of them?

Even when you don’t ‘personally’ get a ridiculous crit, snipers are so common than anyone not cowering behind a wall will quickly be shredded by them, crit or not (though one probably will crit).

 

Agreed, when devs are going to make a balance they need to both look at the statistics and listen to the community too

 

The sniper cannon's chip damage is already noticeable enough it doesn't even need to crit,if you add crit mechanism for sniper just to make it like snipers in other shooting game then delete the item

 

Personally, I think it'd make more sense to crit the same way as the other cannons.
