Angry with the M95

Re: Angry with the M95

today i finally tried my m95 again after a couple weeks of using the awesome L96A1,my findings m95 not accuate at range but deadly in mid range shooting,and today was lots of fun on oman at the mec airfield3 shoot thru glass kills today,first was a piot in the su34 he never knew wat hit him while he was preparing to take off,second was helo stating to take off and boom headshot on the gunner,and third was the best as the helo was hovering over pad and i got the pilot and the helo went smashing into the ground with the gunner not knowing wat happned.

Thats what I reccommended the M95 for, I use it a lot for that kind of stuff. A lot of people dont know it, but somtimes you can shoot out pilots with the L96A1 too. :nod:

Re: Angry with the M95

Shutup, stay on topic.

SVD is great for unloading on someone, funny and awesome too.
L96A1 is if your skilled for running around and dodging the bullets. Although thats what I do for all sniper rifles, but I am an experienced sniper.

P.S.- Just to let you know, I barly ever play on a China vs. USMC map.

Jackass, no. Smartass, yes.

Re: Angry with the M95

^Out of curiosity, how come the L96 ranks the best and the M24, which is identical in every way except reload time and sound, is ranked the worst?

BTW, the Type-85 is an SMG, so you must be good at sniping if you can do it with that thing.

I'm sorry, Type-88. Stop being a jackass.

Re: Angry with the M95

Sniping is easy to me since its my main kit. Practice is the key, M95 I don't reccommend unless you plan on sniping people out of Helos, Jets, or Cars. Best sniper rifle thats in BF2 now is the L96A1. Here are my rankings for all sniper rifles that I reccomend.

1st* L96A1
2nd* SVD
3rd* Type-88
4th* M95
5th* M24

Re: Angry with the M95

I am new to the sniper, and took the 2nd unlock just cause I didn't want the jackhammer.

As I've found thus far, lag will kill your aim every time, all the time.

I still suck at sniping, and half the time I'm killed I'm trying to remember to move after a kill that I end up being shot trying to sprint to my next hidey hole. As a primary groundpounder, I too was guilty of thinking the sniper was a useless, non-team oriented player who lurked in the shadows and didn't help the cause.

playing sniper changed my view of it. give it a real try and you will say the same thing.

Re: Angry with the M95

i won't say sniper isn't a team player.. i believe their purpose is to def the flag (just hide somewhere high and wait for enemy to come cap ur flags and take em out)

also serves as a radar.... spotting enemies

Re: Angry with the M95

It's hard to truly be 'good' at hip shooting with the snipers because their deviation when not zoomed is atrocious (much like the LMGs' deviation when not prone). It's mostly luck whether it hits or not.

Re: Angry with the M95

i got my first helo kill with my m95 a few hours ago =)

map was oman and i managed to sneak in enemy airbase, near the heliport.
i take position and i see a couple o peeps waiting. so i says to myself "wth, ill try sniping em when theyre on the heli"
heli spawns they get in. i wait a few seconds and right before the tires leave the ground i fire and driver dies then heli goes down....gunners like "OMGWTF!" then i keep doing that for a few minutes till i get knifed in the back....lol. it was a good moment.

Re: Angry with the M95

anyone here good a hip shooting with your sniper rifle.....every now and then I get lucky...I have hip shot kills with m95 but most come with svd

Re: Angry with the M95

Patch 1.3 could also have something to do with it. It made a lot of servers (and clients) laggy and unstable.

As for finding the distance to your target, I asked Jemme the same question since he keeps track of his kills by distance, and he said what he does is once he makes himself squad leader, then puts his crosshairs on the target so their tag pops up, then issues an order (like move here, attack here, etc.) and it shows the distance between yourself and the spot you just designated which, if it's on your target, shows the distance of your kill (if you make the kill that is). I believe that was the method he described, anyway.

I believe you can also spot your target normally, then bring up your map and measure the distance using a ruler, where a certain amount of inches equals a certain amount of in-game distance.

Re: Angry with the M95

I'm beginning to think it is a connection problem now. I guess I haven't noticed because I'm used to choppy connections. I don't have a low-end machine, 3 Ghz processor, 1024 Mb of ram, Geforce 7800GT blah blah blah. I have Verizon DSL which sucks, but has never given me horrible problems. I logged onto a server that was stationed near my house that had 16 people. It was so smooth it was scary. I went 50+ kills and less than 20 deaths. I'm not such a noob sniper, I can shoot a running person in the head 75% of the time...I guess that's somewhat good right?

Re: Angry with the M95

I rank the SVD as the lowest, absolute sh*t crosshairs. M95 is king simply because of the fact that I can nail a J-10 whore before he even gets off of the ground. But hit detection sucks now. At least, for long range. And if anything, the M95 should be very, very accurate.

Edit: My net connection has never gave me any problems, red.

amen! that svd...has the worst crosshairs
