Content Suggestion Remove snipers or make it a warfund

[Betriv]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove: Removing snipers from the server or making it harder to obtain OR Make it to where the sniper dies the slot gets removed for 10-20 minutes making it to where snipers can be valuable but can't be spammed

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?: dont know

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2): Surface PvP is 10x more fun, Players aren't forced to grind a rank in order to unlock something that makes surface playable. No more getting shot from the fog and not being able to do anything about it

Possible Negatives of the suggestion: Less weapon choices

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Currently snipers are just insufferable to play as and play against. You don't see someone 500 meters away hiding in the fog? Your leg is fractured and you are forced to walk at 14 HP until you get sniped again from the same spot that you STILL can't see due to tracers never working. If you aren't a rank in a department, regiment, or faction you don't get a sniper at all and you're forced to use a worse weapon and hope you can close the distance for a fair fight. Snipers genuinely ruin surface and make people, me included not want to roam surface because its not fun being obliterated from the fog with absolutely zero counterplay. Snipers either need a nerf or a full removal. Snipers are incredibly flawed and ruin the experience for a huge amount of players.

Seems like a cope suggestion
Some sniper rifles in game, like the SVD, have purchasable skins. If you restrict or remove access to the certain rifles that have skins, players can no longer use the skins they may have bought with real money.

+Support but only if they also remove Grenadier or give an equivalent job to other factions (Grenadier is arguably more annoying imo due to their lack of requiring a Line of Sight in order to shred someone such as a Juggernaut)

Your a CI MCOM yes?
If snipers were Warfund based who would you give the snipers to?
You would only give it to the players who are good snipers, everyone else who is bad at using them won't get a chance to use them if made warfunds based. When I was a CO in Nu7/CI I certainly wouldn't of wasted warfunds on someone who is rubbish at using a sniper.

First, removing Snipers entirely, would be just bad decision, that's removing an entire weapon class. At the moment there's only four proper weapon classes (AR, Pistol, Shotgun, and Sniper Rifle | I do think that more classes could be added for organization, AR Catagory is a mess.)

Second, there are only 4 Weapons that are called/purchased with Warfunds (Kraber, Charge Rifle, M202, and that one GL that's never used.) That's because these can annihilate any vehicle (and SCPs). Snipers... can't, they're Anti-Personnel, not Anti-Tank.
Also Warfunds would deplenish extremely quickly with the current payouts for Cmissions.

Also, there are ways to dodge Snipers. Shields can provide some protection. If needed you can smoke your position. And if all else fails sneak around.

I just don't see being accepted.

It would just be better. Surface is boring and is just the sniper player shitting on everyone until you flank for 5 minutes to kill him and he is just back.

WAIT suggestion?: Make it to where the sniper dies the slot gets removed for 10-20 minutes making it to where snipers can be valuable but can't be spammed/

honestly that'd be a great way of making snipers work

Not the TB/thaumo/brute/scout one-life system for marksmen

Honestly, this is a good shout, though. I like this idea too, +Support for that
