Isnt it more? I mean if you shot in the fog you can still kill your enemy doesnt matter if you see him or not.

Range or effective range? Theoretical range would be pretty much the entire map i guess, if you aim 45° up. You wont hit anything, but well, thats the effective range then. And thats certainly less than your view distance.

I can hit and kill most targets what I aim for with the sniper rifle with simple elevation if they are too far but I can't seem to hit anything with the marksman anymore is their some trick to it?

with marksman and rifleman kits, wait 3 seconds after moving before firing, and 1 second sfter firing. with sniper weaponry, wait 8 seconds before every shot. effective sniper range is 900m and effective marksman range is 600m. effective rifleman range is 400m.

Marksmen will get a significant accuracy boost in 0.85
