I use snipers and i agree. Hidden hand should go and their aim assist be be nerfed to a cap of 30. Also out of all the points you listed bullet drop should definitely be implemented.

We use snipers because we don't want to be cheap learning the way of a flawless sniper is a skill most won't invest time into. Aim assist is fine I use efrideets spear with no aim assist and my sniper kills are a lot of the time drag snipes. In my opinion snapshot and short gaze is all I need on a sniper then for perks anything to get me more ammo so I know I've usually always got some. I'm yet to try a high impact low rate of fire very high stability sniper rifle.
