Yeah I was talking about the good standard ones, besides, you can't even see clearly in scope as far as it shoots. It's not like it makes much of a difference. Does the MRL and Arty only outrange it? Not exactly much of a difference then, since nothing else would be able to reach the sniper...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

That's crap, berkut. No matter what kind of outfit you're in, people will notice you, unless you're facing a bunch of dickos.
The ramjet is superior to the regular sniper in all but three places:
-The ramjet has that annoying blue streak that gives you away.
-The regular sniper reloads sightly faster (Although it takes slightly longer between shots)
-Price (Duh)
So unless you're some place sneaky (Behind the crates in the Nod base on C&C_Canyon), or really short on cash, the ramjet pwnz the regular rifle. Especially on any map with flying vechs, or if the enemy tries an MRLS rush or something...
The ramjet is better, that's why it costs twice as much. I don't think there's any debate about that, but is it cheap or not? As in, is it TOO good?

You forgot that there is no bighead for nods $5 sniper. So if your opponent is cheating in such a way, you will not be affected.

Maybe, but the 500 sniper doesn't give easier headshots. Maybe the timing is just better suited for you, or you're more used to it, or you've been getting slightly luckier with it the entire time.
Numberwise, it's inferior to the nubjet. There can't be any debate about that.

Because renegade is not based on realism. If it was, it would take a lot fewer shots to kill things. A lot.

I tried them out in several different instances and my conclusion is...
Black Hand snipers are my fav. I can't say the same for Deadeye, though. I die more often when I use him. Must be those fruity clothes (Oh, Parker and Obata used to wear them? I better be careful  ).
I'll use Havoc only when I'm bored and we have the enemy on the ropes. He's just too noticeable otherwise (yeah, I'm a camper-sniper). I prefer Sakura over Havoc because they're not as noticeable on most maps.
Overall, it depended on the map, and the overall team's behavior.
GDI on Walls Flying being aggressive: Havoc pwned.
Nod on Volcano being defensive: Sakura kicked butt.
Nod on Complex being aggressive: BH Sniper was awesome.
Just experiment. Saying that one rifle is better than the other (in this game, anyway), is a bit ambiguous. Sniping isn't everything, either. I've killed more people with proxies on some maps than I have with a rifle.

NOt in the hands of n00bs, lol....I was on Under.mix with raveshaw, and capped 2 havocs and 3 deadeyes while supporting stanks and reloading 5 times...LOL

Quite often you can shoot at someone with a 500 sniper and they won't notice, sometimes even if you hit them in the body they will still be oblivious - how many times have you fired a ramjet near someone and they have just carried on and not notice the blue line tracing all the way back to you.
If your target doesn't know you are there they will most likely be running around and jumping a lot less and it will be MUCH easier to split his skull.
Does this not make sense to anyone else?

In most common sniper situations (Bridge on C&C_City_Flying, tunnels on all maps), your enemy is never obvilious because snipers are common in these areas.
Anyways, people who jump are only marginally harder to hit. It fucks them up a lot more than it fucks you up because they can't aim then.

In some maps, where's there only maybe 1 or 2 sniper points, I'd say using ramjets would be better, since you're either at one place or another.
When playing large maps with many places to hide, then its better to use the 500 sniper so you have sometime before they spot you... unless you're horribly bad at being stealthy
