L96A1 help please???

Re: L96A1 help please???

Good way to help decide is to pick up kits. Sometimes you'll get the gun you want to check out.

I can rarely shoot straight up close, even with the DAO-12 or Jackhammer, so those didn't help me much.

G3 is a good choice for accuracy and the damage it does. I rarely get killed by it though for some strange reason. I usually get killed by a Medic using the G36E it seems. Okay, that and aircraft and armor. And arty.

Only used the MG36 once.

Love the L96A1. The finer crosshairs on the scope allow me to finely adjust the bullet drop at range. Sounds cool too. :)

Re: L96A1 help please???

practice, and the feeling will come by itself.
The real strength of the L96 is that it's available for all three teams. I personnally have no problems with it.
To give you a scale of the bullet drop, at most I aim about half a body height above my target (that's on non foggy maps. On karkhand I aim just under a head's height higher)

Oh and newiq, I find the SVD to have the best crosshair, no lines to block your sight, just put your target's head on the tip of the arrow and you have a guaranteed headshot

Re: L96A1 help please???

i would use any sniper rifle,but bf2 gives me a choice(nice)
i never realy liked the m24 pre 1.2 i always used the m95 ,yeh its a tad harder to hit a headshot at distance but its so powerful ,loud but strangly addictive(to me) since i got the l96 i tend to stick with that gun now.

headshots are a breaze with l96.

like a few have said if its 200m+ then aim a pixel or 2 above there head.

a few maps let u see beyond 200m so u will need to aim a tad higher.

at 1st when i used the l96 i was missing,as i was to familiar with the m95.
just keep trying with the l96 and it will become 2nd nature.

good luck.

My rifle makes enemies stop dead still so you can shoot them.

They run like made for a bit, then put on a flight helmet, and then politely wait for you to shoot them!


It's called the M95.

Re: L96A1 help please???

The L96A1 and M24 are statistically identical except the L96 takes one less second to reload and 0.4 seconds longer to draw.

Same accuracy, same penetration, same bolt time, same ammo capacity. It's also quieter and has thinner crosshairs, making it generally easier to use.

Look it up, check the data files yourself:

M95, SVD, Type 88 = Same accuracy.
M24, L96A1 = Same accuracy.

Re: L96A1 help please???

Call me a noob if you'd like but i would really like some help with the L96A1 aiming technique. I have no problem aiming with the M24, i get headshots quite often. But with the L96A1 i just can't seem to hit! :wall:

Are you supposed to aim above the head (or below lol). or anything? Please give a poor noob a few tips about how to handle his latest unlock?

Help is very appreciated.

Supposedly L96 and m24 have exact same numbers as far as aiming accuracy and bullet drop goes. The only difference is sound and of gun.

Or so they say, I don't really notice a difference between the two.

Weapon Statistics can be found --> HERE <--

Bulletdrop



When you are higher or lower than your target you will have to compensate accordingly. Target higher, aim higher. Target lower, aim lower.

Re: L96A1 help please???

Thanks alot for the help everyone!

Could it be so that becuase of the thinner crosshair on the L96A1 you need to aim a bit higher than with the M24 which dos the aiming for you?

Re: L96A1 help please???

I heard the M24 was crap. I use the L96A1.

Re: L96A1 help please???

The semi-auto sniper rifles are the most underrated weapon in the game. On any city map they OWN the m24/m95/l96

Naaah, thats not true

[Metasynaptic]

Re: L96A1 help please???

I heard the M24 was crap. I use the L96A1.

Apparently the M24 has a faster draw time, the L96 a faster relaod time.

If you switch guns a lot, go M24. If you stick to one gun, but shoot a lot of bullets... L96.

Re: L96A1 help please???

I think I can recall maybe one time the faster draw time might have helped me, but I recently got to find out that no matter which you have nothing can save you from three snipers with SVDs. Especially if you forget which one you just shot.

Re: L96A1 help please???

and how are u supose to know how far away the target is? i dont snipe much so i hope the answer isnt an obvious one

[O2zi3]

Re: L96A1 help please???

i prefer the l96a1....where u aim depends on range. u get a feel for range by experience. if u snipe into a flag area, you will know the range if u have the distance to flag activated (alt by default i think). An example of range.,..when sniping on wake to the spawn island from the north base i have to aim about half a body length above their heads to get a hit. Sometimes at short range (about 100m) i have to aim slightly below the head for the headshot...if i have it dead on the head somehow i think the bullets goes over their head...slightly under seems more reliable.
