1 BLOODY HIT KILLS, I MEAN C'mon MAN!!!! The M95 does not kill you in one hit, unless you hist head, neck, shoulders (rarely) . We need a sniper rifle that will 1 hit kill anywhere (would need to be an unlock).

Bad idea.

Bad idea.

It would be an awesome idea if only I had it though.... what? no?

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

Saving a unlock for this too, even though I thought I would have gotten two unlocks for hitting Master Sergeant, wtf is the deal with that? I got 2 unlocks for my previous rank...?

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

I don't want another sniper rifle, I love the M95 like a brother. Head shots all day baby.

What I do want however, is a new side arm. I don't like plugging an enemy 5 times in the face only to have them turn around and kill me in 1 hit.

True Story:

I was on kurast(spelling, its some urban map people play a lot) sniping like usual, when two guys spot me. I was near the corner of the building, so being the clever guy I am I left a claymore right next to the corner.

Dumb ass number one comes skipping around the corner and loses his face. By this time I'm running around the building, hoping to flank the remaining enemy.

YES! VICTORY IS MINE! I do full circle around the building an come across a prone medic facing away from me. I run towards him and pull out my pistol. 5 shots. Count em, 5. 5 shots to the back of the head/shoulder area. I KNOW at least 1 of those hit his head cause thats what I was aiming at the whole time.

Anyway, he turns around, still prone, and plugs me twice.

Choose your spawn point.

Ghey?

Body armor, you need to aim better... Or just take out the knife...

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

I don't like the M95 , I love the M24 , this is why I want to be the new sniper something like the M24 , dead acurate

[imported_OBCD]

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

been saving an unlock for this for a long time and cant wait untill patch gets here

i would love a very accurate M24 like gun that was silenced perhaps

realisticly it will probably be another build of an M24 giving PLA and MEC the accuracy

[unlimitedmp]

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

the most powerful tank in the world is T99's experimental 150mm cannon

Link? Sounds interesting.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't a slightly different m24 clone in terms of stats. And one hit sniper kills to the chest? I'd really hate it if this game went the way of CounterStrike.

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

The M95 is pretty cool. I chose it as my second unlock

[Verzili]

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

hit anyone with a m95 and 2-3 popshots from the handgun will finish um m24 is ok but i like a few kill assist and the option of taking out heli.
m95 rocks if u can master it and in my opinon it acuracy is ok(60%<-me)
but im saving my unlock for the new one as a option :) never no the gun may own .

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

When is the new sniper coming out

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

M1A2 is pretty far down on the tank list, afterall, it was developed in the 70s.

Here i found that.

Before I mentioned that its not easy to class any particular MBT as the best in the world as they all have strengths and weaknesses in certain specialisations. Heres a few that I have found:

-Leo-2 series; best Western gun, non-DU armour and penetrators, best targetting systems, powerful diesel engine (gas turbines have shorter operating ranges so an equivalent power diesel engine = a big bonus in combat radius)
Weaknesses; Some argue Tungsten core penetrators are not as effective as DU core penetrators, I'd argue that I'd prefer my soldiers didn't get liver cancer

-Merkava 4; I don't know much about this tank but here goes, best crew protection, transport capacity, world class armament & targetting systems.
Weaknesses; not enough known

-M1 series; combat proven, thick armour, high top speed
Weaknesses; has proven fragile in certain circumstances, short operating range

-T-80 series; fastest top speed, fast accelaration, longest range gun, best active and passive defence systems available, best ERA available, cheapest, low silhouette, curved armour
Weaknesses; poor crew survivability, autoloader w/o blow off panels for ammunition bustle, lighter armour then most

-T-90 (final T-72 design); fast accelaration, longest range gun, best active and passive defence systems available, best ERA available, low silhouette, curved armour
Weaknesses; poor crew survivability, autoloader w/o blow off panels for ammunition bustle, medium armour

-Type 98; active defence laser system (to burn out enemy sights & eyes), advanced ERA available
Weaknesses; short range main gun, poor crew survivability, autoloader w/o blow off panels for ammunition bustle

Challenger 2; heaviest known armour, most accurate conventional gun
Weaknesses; low speed

An interesting point to note after looking over these strengths and weaknesses is that while Soviet tanks are flawed in crew protection, a problem that they're only just rectifying, they are highly experienced in dealing with the threat of ATGM's and RPG's and have dealt with both problems much more significantly then the West. They simply have had different priorities and these have led their tank designs in different ways. The Western approach is great for tanks designs to defend against approaching hordes of tanks but isn't so great at fighting in urban warfare (eg. Chechnya / Baghdad) or in other low intensity conflicts.
Accuracy, heavy armour and penetration power second to none gets you a long way when you have the strategic advantage and can choose the battlefield. However longer operating radius, longer range guided munitions and suffecient active and passive defences can offer other solutions to problems on the battlefield.

Take these hypothetical situations for example:

Case A; a tank is engaging the enemy in rolling hills or dunes where range of engagement can be between 500-3500 meters. The most likely enemy is an armoured vehicle. In this situation a Western tank would be more likely to win.

Case B; a tank is en route to a firefight through a city filled with a well armed hostile militia. Engagement could occur between 5-1000 meters. The most likely enemy is an individual armed with an RPG-7. In this situation an Eastern tank would be more likely to survive.

Case C; a tank is engaging the enemy on a flat plain where range of engagement can be as far away as the horizon. The most likely enemy is an armoured vehicle. In this situation an Eastern tank would be more likely to win.

Case D; a tank is ambushed by enemy tank fire. Before it can return fire the enemy tank is destroyed by friendly forces (eg. an attack helicopter). The tank is hit by numerous shells at a range of 2,000 meters. A Western tank is more likely to survive if the shells are penetrating sabots. An Eastern tank is more likely to survive if the shells are HEAT or a form of gun launched guided missile.

Re: what will the new Sniper rifle bring?

They need to give us high powered binoculars for observation at greater distances, and an SMG sidearm. MEC-Bizon US-MP5 PLA-their ****ty smg

I think the scope should be upped a little bit with the L96 but Binoculars would be better...ones that make it so you can see past the "fog"

Man you're so right.. I've wished for binoculars since the first time I played BF2.

first, all newer soviet bloc MBT has advanced fire suppression system, thus blow off panel is not needed.

second, T98's range is by NO WAY short. it uses a 125mm cannon that incoporates western 120mm technology.
