I really need help with shooting.

Hey guys. I need help. I stopped playing PR around start of December due to school. Now I'm on the field again, witht he 0.7 version. And I cannot kill ANYHTING with a rifle. Gimme a sniper rifle and I kill, gimme an LMG and I kill. Gimme a normal rifle and I can even shoot a non moving target at 20m! I'm not exaggerating. I take aim, stand still whilst doing so, wait 4-5 seconds. Bang. COMPLETE miss. Strange thing is that the enemy seems to shoot better than ever. What am I missing here?

You are pretty much guaranteed to miss with the first shot from what I've found. Your 3rd or 4th shot should definitely kill them though. And if that doesn't work, try shooting left handed.

You just gotta get use to it. Still when playing in MEC I rather choose another weapon than G3 cuz the recoil is so enormous.

pick up an automatic rifleman kit, you're guaranteed to hit something with all of that spray.

I haven't noticed any problem like this. Get prone, or at least crouching, aim center of mass. For realy long shots, give it a 3 second count.

I do fine with the LMGs but I still cant hit ANYTHING with a rifle! It's like the gun's barrel was made from plastic or something cos my aim is dead on o.0 Its worse then normal battlefield!

as others have said, they key is to take your time and aim for the center body mass(the torso). If you want to hit aim for the biggest part

I agree, its probably more real like that, cause if you shoot between the legs, you are not supposed to hit something.
But aiming the head you are supposed to kill, and in one shot, and not shooting the wind.

I figured out that you have to stay VERY still, not even move your mouse and hope that the enemy comes right into your crosshair. Moving the mouse will screw up the process. Should be fixed in the patch.
