Very Long Sniper Guide

Re: Very Long Sniper Guide

I made a Max View Distance / Fog Distance - table ...



... which you could also include in your guide if you want to.

I got the Info for this table by another post made by <andy> on this forum.

<andy>in the server.zip of the maps, open up the init.con file in notepad.

where it says


GameLogic.MaximumLevelViewDistance 610


that is your max possible view distance for the map.

you then have to take into consideration the fog's max view distance.

open up the sky.con file, again in notepad,


Renderer.fogStartEndAndBase 0.00/610.00/0.00/0.50


the second number is the max viewdistance from fog. which is your 'true' longest range.

these were taken from dalian plant btw.

Here are a small adjustments for aiming towards coming target (running). Most of the time I'll try headshot if I don't know whether target is wounded or not. Now, depending on height level and distance between you and the target few things must be kept in mind. If target is quite close to you say 15-20m and you are above the target (roof top) you should aim for the chest or just below the chin. If you are below the target, for example laying in the ground, then you should aim a bit above the head. Check my fine art, hope it explains what I mean.

Yeah it didn't turned out to be as informative as I expected. The basic idea is that when your target is moving straight at you or away from you and you are not at the height level between you and your target is large, say more than 5 m, then you do have to lead a little. Hmmm...how would I say it better.

In your guide I remember you saying that if the target is coming straight at you, then no leading is required. Actually if you are higher or lower, then you do have to lead a bit. The delay of making the decision and actually clicking fire, always contains a small delay and during that delay the target has moved a small way towards you or away from you. Now if the target is quite close, during that time the angle between you and the target changes very fast. When trying to take a headshot, this factor must be taken in account.

I'll try to do better picture when I have some time.

Re: Very Long Sniper Guide

Ok, here is more informative picture about my aiming tip.

Keep in mind that this works also in long range shots if the difference in heights is big, say 20-50 meters, for example shooting from a cliff.

Re: Very Long Sniper Guide

nice written. Alltho it doesnt gave me anything new hehe :p , also i never prone as a sniper lol. Im kinda the "Assault Sniper" kinda guy, who keeps moving forwards, and snipes people standing most of the time (or crouching sometimes)

:p

and for the claymores, they are very handy to defend flags (or at least slow enemies of capturing them anyway)
