Mongoose's super awesome sniper overhual idea/s

[Qaiex]

I like it, I've suggested adding a rangefinder for like a year for the very same reasons you listed, so I approve.
You rarely run out of bullets, and that can be fixed by giving the sniper an extra magazine or two for his sidearm.

Why would you get the laser range finder when people will still cheat with the markers...

[killonsight95]

you don't need two kits:

kit one's load out:

1. Laser range finder*not sure about this if your a two man squad get the SL to mark it?
2. aplicable pistol
3. Aplicable sniper rifle
4. Colored smoke green
5. Colored smoke national we don't need two smokes change this for a radio or something
6. Tripflaresdon't think ever sued by snipers in real life unless in urban combat? i have no sources on that though
7. Gtld
8. Compression patch

also the two kit idea alreasdy fails because now you will eitheir have 4 sniper out there or 2 snipers in the same squad which imo is useless just have ansiper and a officer you both have GTLD's and in real life i don't think the spotter would:
A. shoot at the same time
B. even carry a sniper rifle with him
the officer kit would still be a highly useful person to have with you in order to spot for you and wether you've hit a target or not aswell as being able to defend you better

I wonder if you read the whole post alot of your gripes/questions are already answered there. Also I don't think you understand or know of the alternate kit system currently in the game. Try right clicking next time you request a kit.
But I will start by explaining the kit load out:

the range finder is there so sl don't have to change their marks. I tend to snipe while attached yo a full squad. Usually I am a good 500m away from them but my actions are for the betterment of completing that squads objective and in that invernment it is counter productive to game play to constantly ask for new markers for the sake of one person

as for the smoke and not a radio in it's stead was answered in the op. When the idea of giving snipers both a gtld and radio came up there was outcry that spotters would never be used.

As for tripflares. When they were first introduced in .8(?) the sniper carried them and only the sniper. Then they were taken from the sniper and given to rifle spec. Now in .9 the devs gave them back to the snipers, why? I don't know but I like having them.

As for the body of your complaint:
there would still only be 2 sniper kits, I recomendations you fermilarise yourself with the alternate kit system currently in pr. It can be quite useful.
The sniper kit is limited to 1 per squad by request. So unless people abuse the system there can't be more then one sniper per squad.

As for your a&b thing that is ansered above.
As for having an officer about, I never said you can't take one with you. And your complaint is based on your prefrence of a spotter and not a truely objective assesment of the suggestion, and as I said in the op, I am not going to argue about spotters, it's not what this thread is about.

As i said in another thread, alternate click on sniper should give you the spotter kit. I dont know the items he would carry though...

And as DEVs have said, that's not going to happen.
I don't intened to be harsh, but the devs have said on several ocasions a spotter Is not going to be added to pr. But you never know they are human too, they could change their minds.
