Then can start firing snipers at 1600-1800m?
They can knock down your shields and start doing hull damage before you are withing missle lock range and then yer dead before you are in gatt range.
How is this any different to having LRM Hunter 3 lobbed at you from range, granted Countermeasures dont enter the equation here but TF snipers are just as deadly as any other LRM wielding SF.

Dont rely on plas gens too much when playing TF tac as the need to get close to your enemy may get you killed prematurely, especially without a decent sig cloak. Flying in front dropping gens while cloaked can be a very effective counter to bombing runs if well coordinated.

Sitting back and sniping from range is the preferred option, but of course for this to be anywhere near effective sniper 2, and Ship Energy and EW Range GAs are non-compulsory investments.

No one does a decent TF tac anymore since their sbs were nerfed /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Dual Sniper 2 on SBs can kill scouts too.
