Realistic Thermal Dampening on Marksman Sniper

[Katsukai]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):One thing that's been bugging me when playing marksman sniper, he wears an modern guile suit from the future but it doesn't have thermal dampening like his tarp has, nor is slowed down by wearing specialized camo clothing, so why not give him thermal dampening for his outfit?

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Able to hide behind obstacles or walls that blocks normal line of sight to become invisible from xeno x-ray vision. Create interesting ambushes and mind games, when xenos thought there was just an lone marine on the other side of the wall. Able to use tarp more effectively when running away from xenos, when they dont have direct line of sight on you. Makes recon sniper an viable option to play for people who do not want to be slowed down for wearing thermal dampening armor, for an more mobile experience.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):Basically give the Marksman sniper thermal dampening, which prevents xenos spotting the sniper while he is wearing his full outfit including coif via x-ray. But this should only work, if xenos don't have direct line of sight on the sniper, so he is only invisible to xenos, if he is behind an obstacle or wall that prevents direct line of sight.

Slowing the marksman sniper movement a bit, would also make recon sniper an more preferred option if you hate the movement penalty you get wearing the marksman armor and want to be more mobile as the recon class is intended to be, but nobody plays it cause the sidearm is pretty meh and Marksman has tarp.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): If the marksman sniper wears both specialized armor and coif, disable xeno x-ray vision towards the sniper and add an penalty on movement for the sniper, if the sniper isn't wearing his coif with the armor he doesn't get the stealth effect, but is still slowed down by the armor regardless if he wears the coif or not.

How wrong am I? Don't they have same ammo loadouts? Sure the sidearm has AP and is pretty decent with good ROF, but I would just get an buckshot shotgun with gyro instead.

Alright so not only does Marksman look stupid in the green camo but Recon just looks better. Recon gets a pistol and binocs and Marksman just gets a tarp that you're likely never going to use. Also you can't fire from the tarp so in order to fire you need to leave the tarp which makes you vulnerable so i'd rather just set up behind a table and fuck fools with my VP's AP rounds.

The sidearm is more powerfull than the sniper itself, it has burst mode too, i easily take down crusher with two click...
