Re: Snipers seem to be able to....well...**** things up.

You have inspired me to use the M95, and to start to ACTUALLY play the sniper kit, there are alot of things that make a sniper useful, and you make the kit sound awsome. What you said was very true and i would like to play some sniper squad play! Great theory and yes, i totally agree with you.

Great Thread!

Re: Snipers seem to be able to....well...**** things up.

The M95 is my rifle of choice when it comes to sniper. Usually i am modest but damn am i good with a M95. I have won for the team on various occasions.

Here is one out of many scenarios where we managed to win the game against all odds.

My team is China and we are on Wake Island and it certainly didn't take long for the US to capture a base as they moved up the north village taking out infantry and a few tankes. They then made there way up to the airfeild but ofcourse China put the extra effort into defending the base and pushed them off for quite some time, little did they know the US was also invading the south side, capping the south base and eventually the beach. Now they were coming from the north and south, all for the airfeild. My squad was smart though, the leader grabbed a car, i got in (i was sniper) and so did another medic and we managed to get to South Base. We then were lucky enough to find a free tank which our squad leader took. I captured the flag, got a car of my own and slowly followed the tank upto the Beach.

5 minutes later, we had the beach but by then US had taken the airfeild AND south base. The beach was all we had left. Very quickly the US forces had the Beach surrounded and i was just sitting on the roof of the bunker at the beach, dodging bullets left and right. With some luck and good aiming i did away with a full squad who tried to cap the Beach flag, i then did away with a few snipers coming in from the airfeild, then a squad making there way to the beach from south base. This gave the rest of my team some breathing room. Our leader was very sneaky and managed to get all the way to North base, capping it and then North village. All of a sudden we had the advantage and we were on the way to a win. It was up to me and 3 other guy to defend the beach while everybody else on the team made there way up from north base.

We didn't cap the airfeild in the end but i did defend the beach and got 23 kills in the process. I was even lucky enough to snipe a driver and 2 gunners out of there blackhawk as they hovered aroun the china flag. We ended up winning 8-0, was probably the best round i have ever had and my squad clearly were the reason why China managed to win.

lol, yeah i was pretty sweet.

yesterday on wake (as seen in my latest vid) on wake a chopepr hovered for repairs, BAM, goes the pilot.
Think of it from his point of view, hes smoking, shot up and barely escapes to friendly lines, there is no indication that anyone (especially someone who is hdinging with an m95) is in the base and bam...gone, it probably took him 6-10 seconds to realize what happen.

same thing happened on daqing oilfields except when i sniped him he said...wtf... his buddy quickly took pilot seat and took off, when the guy respawned and came to the chopper, his friends was now hovering to pick him up and before he got in i sniped him again, sum1 else got in his chopper.

cant spell check sry.

g2g play bf2 with guy on xfire

Re: Snipers seem to be able to....well...**** things up.

i have yet to unlock a sniper rifle, which by 17000 points without one, was a dumb move on my behalf, although if i play sniper i can play any one, SVD, Type-88, or M24. But M95 seems tight and on my other account i have it so yeah.. next rank up will be M95 asnd MP7

once you use the m95 for a few hours (maybe one or two) constantly like i did ( i played with it 4 hours straight) at long AND medium range vs moving and still targets (best place to learn is daqing oilfields ,go USMC and baserape china) youll have an instinct for the bullet drop and how far to lead.

Re: Snipers seem to be able to....well...**** things up.

The M95 takes some time to get used to so when you first use it you may feel a bit dissapointed but trust me, it is very useful in battle.

Also, a tip.. after taking a shot keep your finger pressed on the mouse cursos and you will see your victim flop to the ground like a ragdoll. I think that's seriously the best part of being a sniper, just the feeling when you 1 shot kill somebody.

I agree with most of what you said.

dont agree with him ever, this site should be renamed: www.total-hate-eddyeddyd.com

Re: Snipers seem to be able to....well...**** things up.

Sig worthy.

about the m95 its actually in my opinion the best rifle for chaotic city sniping as well, because it takes someone at full health down to 2 bars , unlike other rifles that do abou half damage, it gives your teammates such a huge advantage ebcause now they only need to land one shot to kill that person and you are mor elikely to get a kda if they escape rather than them healing.
And also if someone has hit them with say 1 or 2 shots you can hit them and kill them in one hit.

and those claymores, Ugggghhhh its pure win ^_^

Your siggy almost made me spit beer, laughing at my $100 monitor.

Shame on you. Shame, shame, shame.

'k, not rly.

Back on topic, a well placed sniper (especially with SVD) can wreak havoc on the OpFor. Good job, and keep up the good work.

Re: Snipers seem to be able to....well...**** things up.

Snipers are simply an annoyance and easily taken care of. I've never seen snipers change the tide of a battle in BF2.

Re: Snipers seem to be able to....well...**** things up.

As good as I like to think I am with other weapons, there are always going to be 'easy kills' that aren't possible for an RPK, or an AK-101 to get. Of course, these are kills that are perfectly feasable for a L9A61...

Depends at who you are shooting ...

- AT/Assault/Support have bodyarmor
- SpecOps/Medic/Engineer/Sniper dont have bodyarmor

... which leads to the following (allready posted this numerous times):

Data from the Weapons Chart thread in TBF2 forums by [DUCKS]Black_Duck_1 ...



... its from his BF2 Weapons Chart

The table is meant to be a summary of factors to be used in calculating the damage in conjunction with his damage chart.

So the M24 & L96 have a base damage of 95, which is reduced by bodyarmor to 62.7 (0.66 x 95).
The M95 has a base damage of 190. It always does 0.5 damage regardless of bodyarmor. Or in other words 95 damage (0.5 x 190).
