Remove the rangefinder from the sniper.
Sniper is skill It's a game mode where you have to learn the rifle, the bullet drop, the satisfaction It's the ultimate reward for all players who commit to training in that class. So!! No... to the ...

I fee like rangefinder is a way of trying to balance snipers to become more useful, but it is taking away some interesting aspects of sniping. Let's be honest, most snipers that are trying to keep their distance and shoot from long range are going to be completely useless in the overall match, even if they have rangefinder for perfect zeroing. Yeah, they might get a couple of kills now and then, but they just wont help their team much.
I think rangefinder has a place in this game, but they should rework the attachment so that it display the range to your target, and you have to manually adjust the zeroing of your scope. Then they should get rid of the "sweet spot" mechanic, and change snipers to have a higher body damage at closer range. Snipers should one shot kill to the torso up to around 30m. The damage drop off range could vary based on the sniper. Even then snipers would obviously be at a disadvantage at closer range, however it would be a bit more viable. Snipers should still one shot kill to the head at all ranges obviously.
they'd all be scouts who, without any skill, could put a bullet 3km away just by aiming at the center of the crosshairs.
I disagree. It is still way harder to hit a sniper headshot at long range with perfect zeroing, than to kill someone with an AR at medium range.. and the impact you have as a infantry using another weapon is usually way higher.
