Your sniper guide for PR 0.85

[ralfidude]

Ok made a quick short video, mainly for those who complain they cant hit anything, this should clear things up.

YouTube - Project reality 0.85 sniping guide

Im sorry for the squished image, can anybody help me on why this happens? I have it as HD and it still squishes the video, im using sony vegas platinum 9.

Upload in 1080? Not 720?

btw Nice Video

[ralfidude]

i tried 720 for a different resolution, but the effect is still the same as when i uploaded the 1080 in another video.....

[Spartan0189]

That was a nice Video!
I didnt even have to watch in HD for the high quality.

[ReadMenace]

I've been fairly successful at sniping in .85, but I actually learned things from your video that will improve my sniping. Thanks!

[spybaz]

Nice work all round!

[ralfidude]

Wow, i didnt expect this many pleased faces. Your all very welcome.

By making u more leet snipers, i have signed my very own death warrant when playing, lol.

[Sandy_Beret]

very handy

can someone make a video to demonstrate to numpties why not to
run into CQB with a sniper weapon... there is so much of that with the new influx of players...

but I guess it's inevitable with EA advertising this mod now...

[Arakizuki]

Yeah I never knew the times but I used to wait a lot longer just to be sure. This helps a lot, but can you make a guide on how much higher the reticule needs to be for longer shots? I have a problem with those.

[ralfidude]

I will try to, but its hard to find a good spot to do that. Operation archer would be perfect.

Problem with over 600m shots is relativity.

If i am at the top of the tower on the big hill firing on the mosque area or beyond, i dont have to aim above the target as much as if i was the person who is shooting from below at me towards the tower. The sniper below me will aim a tad bit higher.

So in general, its all about getting a feel for it. I strongly suggest having a spotter, especially for those over 600m shots.

He is the one that will let you know where the bullet ended up. Too high, or too low, then you can make adjustments that way.

ALso, keep in mind that some sniper rifles have one zoom, and some have two.

So, me aiming above with a single zoom scope will look like i barely moved above the target, while the double zoom it will look like i moved it up more.

Therefore its all relative to where, what, and with what.

Still, il see what i can do.

Nice guide.

Therefore its all relative to where, what, and with what.

I always found that maps with a short view distance throw me off (like sunset city), because I'll see someone who's barely visible through the fog and think he's about a kilometer away, whereas the view distance may only be 500m.

[ralfidude]

Thats true Jay, so if im not SL, i try to ask my SL to give me a move marker on the target and that should be enough.


Actually to make it easier on the SL, i would ask the SL to place a marker on a flag persay, and you use that distance to measure out if the target ur aiming at is further or closer than that marker.

[ralfidude]

Just for a reference im going in game right now and im going to measure how many meters is one grid reference on the map. Makes more sense.

Just for a reference im going in game right now and im going to measure how many meters is one grid reference on the map. Makes more sense.

Depends on the size of the map. Asad khal's grid reference will be smaller than a map like Kozelsk.

Nice vid mate

[Koroush47]

Nice video, But the music was a little BAD.

lol
