The following is what I had posted on another thread as part of a bigger post but the NCTH portion seems to fit better here so I am copy/pasting here since it seems others are having similar results...

NCTH:

I have some questions regarding the NCTH and sniper rifles. I had read some threads about the NCTH and how some like it and some don't. I haven't decided yet, but I would like some clarification if I may regarding how snipers are supposed to work with NCTH.

What I have seen so far is I have two people I have running around with snipers, an IMP with the Sniper trait using an IWM(?) and a MRK of 80 and Buns with the Marksman trait and her AIMNAS Mrk (80-something I think) using a Steyr Scout.

I have fought 5 battles including a major one and so far both of my snipers have hit a total of ONCE each. Yes, they have only tagged someone once and mind you, I have yet to attempt a head shot. Is this typical? The IMP must have fired close to 30 rounds and Buns is working on 40 rounds. And only 1 hit apiece.

I fired once standing up missed wildly and ever since they have been laying prone to fire and more than half the time firing from rooftop. I also only fire when I can use full aim, no snap shooting with a sniper rifle.

As for the ranges of the targets, I have read that serious penalties have been implimented (which I concur with) so I think the closest target has been around 14-15 tiles from the sniper and none of them have tried to fire outside of the range of the rifles. What is the actual minimum ranges for the scopes? You get a penalty if you fire at a tango 10 tiles or less with a 10x Scope? 20 tiles?

Heck, Buns has been massively more effective with her tricked out .40 S&W with the +1 range for a total of 12 tiles than she has with the sniper rifle. She has tagged a boogy three times out around 20 tiles with the pistol!

So what am I missing or is it simply that the penalties slapped on to a sniper rifle doesn't get negated until the shooter is higher level and his/her marksman is closer to 99? The reason I asked this was because prior to installing AIMNAS I was running with Scope (MRK 99) and she was hitting about 50% of the time.

This issue, I don't think, is related just to sniper rifles because another IMP (MRK low 70s) has a SOCOM 16 and he has fired close to 40 rounds and only has 3 hits. All of his targets have been at least 20 tiles out because if they are 20 and under he switches to a MPK. Speaking of which, how can a fire round burst miss a tango from 4 tiles?
