I was thinking, we have C and B-class tank mechs. Why not A-class also_
Wait, because idea of A-class is kinda opposite to tanking. Thats it, sniper mech should be able to shoot oh high ranges, quickly change firing positions, to escape HtH fights but not to take a lot of damage. This is far from typical characteristics of C-mech.

the frontal armor of a C-class is made to take a lot of damage so, you could still get away and heal and reposition, and its shield ability could give it controllable Zoom

OR you can just make the SA Hawkins viable and I can turret in my Brawler and snipe people.

Class sniper_ As much as I love it, I can't stop imagining a mech with a frontal damage reduction, massive HP pool, and incredibly high and long range hitscan potential. Sounds a bit OP

[Preternatural]

And let me guess: its item is a

*wait for it*

mini nuke.

how about 20-10% frontal reduction and 800 HP (rocketeer has 1010 with room to spare if you upgrade armor) and its main weapon could have a swaying motion when zoomed so its not as easy to get a kill

[Slide2Die]

No no. rocketeer has a bro: MEXIIIIIIIIIIICAANMANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

they are brothers 3 - 2 - 1 bye bye

[Azrael39]

I"m sure someday the C class Sniper will happen.  But before that I'd like to see the C class Tank with a Flamethrower!

[Beefsweat]

I vote yes on proposition 36M

[InfiniteWin]

C-Class Sniper, automatic zoom that only happens in turret mode. The mech gets 50% reduction in damage FROM BEHIND and takes 25% extra damage from the front.

ScreenShot.png

armor: 800-850 HP*

purpose: long range support

ability: controlled zoom**
when zoomed it is harder to control the more zoomed you get

item: long range radar
only lets the one who used it see enemies, and lasts 2 min


*takes 10-20% less damage in turret mode
** can go from 2x,4x,6x zoom

The ability should (and will have to be) turret mode.  But, it should go into a zoomed mode only when you do go into turret mode.  That would be beast

I am in favor of a C class sniper... different weapons tho, tired of slug/sar/double barrel worthless gun combos

RA-Sabot (Larger cousin of the Sabot Rifle) Like the KE except opposite, slower speed but higher damage. Primary weapons anyone_

[ShadowWarg]

My friends, you are all thinking about a long range C mech the wrong way. A perfect long range C mech is not a sniper.

ITS ARTILLERY WITH SHOULDER MOUNTED CANNONS

The Best C-Class that never was

I'm very serious. This should be the next C long range mech with its ability being the shoulder mounter cannons

The APFSDS counts as a KE-weapon. How about instead of hitscan, we have a bigger version of the HEAT-cannon. The Anti Tank Projectile Emission System (ATPES) deals more damage and carries larger kinetic energy than any other weapon in the game. This can be charged to create even more kinetic energy MOVING the target a direction on direct impact. This is of course countered with a slower fire-rate and larger heatgeneration.

I liked your post all the way up until this point. That just sounds like stunlock's bastard cousin.

No, i kri ;( alright, remove the movement of an enemy, but charging the ATPES could be a good idea. More damage per shot, but more heat generation and even lower rate of fire.

i like this, but how about its 15-20 sec to fully charge and can do away 1/3 of a mechs current health
