Re: Success with Sniping

Black_Duck made a nice list with one column depicting the Bullet travel time ...



... the thing is you have to get a shot or 2 of at the start to take into account things like lag and other game variables. After that you can compensate for those and also take into account the bullet travel time.

Getting a killshot in over a great distance on a moving target can be done. I think my furthest moving kill was out at 329 meters or something.
On a stationary quarry its easier offcourse. My personal record ingame stands at 453 meters on Dragon Valley.
Both were made while being in a prone position offcourse, because that will give you the best accuracy (Sniper Rifle -chart).

Re: Success with Sniping

i got 333m on stationary, they're fine, but usually i get around 200ping on US servers, so maybe i should stay closer to europe.

Thnx for the info

Re: Success with Sniping

bullet drop is very little with the m95. at 200m, it about halfway between the cross an the first line below it. so my guess is based on the table above that every line on the m95 signifies a 0.2m bullet drop

Try the TV2 servers in Norway. They have 24/7 one map only servers for allmost all Vanilla maps. You can usually find me on either Dragon 1 or Dragon 2 (64 p/s). Some of the Top European Snipers frequent those server like the current #2 ChikyuuShoujoArujuna, #17 poppyseed and #26 JEFFWHITLEY.

Re: Success with Sniping

Worst rifle in da game is defo M95,Too fat crosshair,bigger chance that Ull miss!
If U aim properly 1 shot to chest and enemy is dead!

M24,SVD R my first choice though SVD has annoying crosshair,U need to aim 1 pixel above target to get a head shot!That is really annoying when U R sniper to sniper fight and U must get a speed kill

Re: Success with Sniping

If you've got time to kill and you want exercises to make you better at judging bullet speed, vehicles can help. Find yourself a nice spot as far away from a road or track used by vehicles as you want (if you're having trouble shooting from 300 metres try and get one about 300 metres from the road). Try and choose a quiet spot and make sure it's a map with lots of veichles (maps like Kubra dam are good as there are plenty of hiding places in the foothills where you won't be disturbed).
Now just start taking shots at the veichles, tanks are obviously the easiest moving up in dificulty as the veichles get smaller (but I'm sure you knew that). A good 30 mins and you should be able to take a good guess at bullet travel times at your chosen distance. People in veichles won't normally take much notice of you, if it's armoured you ain't doing anything and if it's not armoured it will probably just try to outrun you.
You've just got to keep the practice up. Before long you'll be popping those heads at your chosen distance no problem. Good luck. ;-)

Re: Success with Sniping

I don't know how everyone feels but the M95 really is a POS. I haven't got one kill with it. I only got it to get to the L96 which I get tons of kills with.
