Step 1: locate a scorpion and board it.
Step 2: Aim the cannon at the sniper(if you don't know where they are, look for their bullets' slipstreams).
Step 3: Blow him sky high.
this is NOT a good tactic, at all, it is incredibly easy to snipe someone out of the tank, dont try it, unless the person sniping is a complete retard
Go from sniper target to, giant heavy slow sniper target
If you know where they are sniping from, you can turn the tank away from them, which makes it so they can't snipe you, now you just have to watch out for their teammates and rockets...
The other ways to take out a sniper have been stated but I'll restate..
1. Countersnipe- effective if the sniper hasn't noticed you, especially if he's focused on another target.
2. get close and personal with a Pistol and shotgun or plasma weapon.- however a sniper's second weapon will be a pistol (if they have brains that is), or maybe a heavy weapons such as the Rocket launcher, or Fuel Rod gun.- so be very careful when doing this tactic.
3. Use a banshee- this is a chancy tactic, you better know where they are before doing this- you'll probably only get one chance maybe two to peg him with a fuel rod shot and then finsish him off with the plasma guns. If the sniper is good with pistols (usually are) you won't get very long to take them out in a banshee.
4. Use a chaingun hog with a buddie- probably the best tactic, if you don't go right at the sniper to run him over because he'll use a grenade to flip the hog, so stay away from the sniper, always moving and let the gunner take out the sniper. Once the sniper has run out of grenades (if you can get him to throw them too soon or too late..) then go ahead and try to run him over, it'll keep him that much more occupied.
5. Gang up on him; send at least 3 people over to get him, have them use cover/stealth so to provide a little of a target as possible until they're close eneught to use pistols. The bad part about this is that it ties up a good chunk of your team to take out 1 guy.
6. Get a ghost. Hope they don't have heavy weapons..
