Of course. Favorite sniper rifle, because I can't get the grasp of coalition ones.

I think they were removed for balancing issues in .75? It'd just be a quick dash to the cache with it, and there's no special requirement to get them. But in reality, soldiers find SVDs used by Insurgents.

ive used them, im pretty sure they are there...that may have been regular .7 and not.756 i can't remember.

There certainly are not as many of them.

I was wondering the same thing.

Put back more svds.

I miss the SVD so...

They still spawn at caches, though it's rare now.

i have not seem a svd since the new update, svd is way better than the Mosin, imo.

i love the mosin, i was on abuilding by the mosque courtuyard thing and was able to kill an entire enmey squad that kept showing is face in nabuilding to the north, good time.

I haven't seen an SVD since .75; I think they've been removed from Al Basra. I don't see how this is realistic or balanced. Could someone explain this to me?

The Mosin Nagant is good about 1/2 the time for me. Sometimes, it won't hit anything.
Other times, it works ok at medium distance.

Can't recall seeing any recently. The only problem with the Mosin is the freaking cross hairs are too thick, at 200-300m they are thicker than the person you are shooting at so if someone is in say a window, you can't even shoot them because you can't tell they are in the cross hairs!

Bring up comm rose, and use the first T in Spotted as an aimpoint. Works for me. I love the Mosin at medium range, and prefer it over the British one in Al Basrah. I'll go rifleman, hop into Mosque, pick the kit and move out.

I think there should be 1 SVD on the stall by the mosins. the mosins are like marksman kits and the SVDs are like sniper rifles. Since the brits get a real sniper (2 in most cases) the insurgets should have access to at least 1 right off the bat.

The original cross hair from WW2 should look like this

Unless the PR one uses some other scope.

we need RPK's. I read somewhere that they were supposed to be in for the origional .7 release but they forgot to put them in and that we should expect them in the patch(dont quote me on this). Some RPK's and SVD's would be nice on al basrah.

I don't see any SVDs in Basrah either. Talk about balance and reality?

balance = armor vs inf?

reality = lack of weapons?


I like the realism that is tanks vs inf and the reality that there are SVDs to use. The mosin is deadly. I've made some incredible shots with it at daft ranges.

The picture of the scope is brilliant.

I wonder if the range finder on PR's SVD actually works? Need to try it out next time.

though insurgents are notoriously bad shots...

1-2 SVDs at the Mosque are needed for balance issues

the real reason Brits lose often is because of veteran players preferring to play Insurgents for some reason, not because the Insurgent faction has some sort of advantage on that map.

Damn Right! I love being insurgent over brit because it's alot more fun.

Yeah, they get those super long range snipers while we get peashooters with magnifying glases on top. the scope works for urban combat but not and long distances or in long range urban combat

Civilians FTW <3

It's the unconventional aspects you don't see in many games that attract many to the Insurgents team. The rest of the time in PR, you're playing as a modern coalition. The simplicity of the Insurgents means a challenge, and that's what some want.

And when challenge can't be handled, just go civi and pronespam.
