Are we going to get new SVD in PR?

[Human_001]

Are we going to have Project Reality original SVD in this mod?

Thing I found about SVD inacuracy is that it is not SVD's deviation. It is the scope that comes with BF2 original SVD.

With current bullet drop and SVD scope combined, you can not see target between 80m-450m because target are right behind the ^ shaped crosshair.

You can see targets less than about 80m, since bullet drop is minimal at that distance you just have to put first top pixel of ^ to where you want to hit.

At distance greater than about 450m, your target is going to be below the first ^ , which allow you to see it below the crosshair.

Problem obviously is that crosshair is too thick.

If we are going to get Project Reality original SVD, we are likely to have realistic scope which will allow user to see target at any distance using fine crosshair.

Also, I don't know how to post image on Forums. I will post image that explain more clearly as soon as I get how to post images. If you have time to spare, please explain to me how to post images that I have saved with JPEG format.

I used the SVD as the Taliban (one round on archer) and thought it needed to be nerfed.

Seriously accurate.

Great weapon. Hit between 20-33% of shots MINIMUM.

i posted something like this before and i'd still love an svd with crisp sight picture and detailed model.

Its on the agenda..

Give us a dev wink or its not gonna happen

The only time I play as a marksman is if I get the chance to grab the SVD, I would love to see a new model.

Thank you all for the replies.

Just another thing I remembered. Why Insurgent SVD only have 2 extra magazines when MEC G3 carries 8 magazines and on other factions SVD has amazing 11 magazines.

I think 11 magazines is too much. I don't think they carry that much in real life. Do they?

7.62mm AK kits should have less magazine than .22 caliber class assault rifle kit. Because one of advantage in exchange of shooting pea .22 is you get to carry alot of them. Or so I heard.

SVD is accurate the way it is now, I'm not having any troubles hitting with it.

Maybe its representing the poor army / lack of supplies.

And SVD was the thing back in the days when it was included in Militia's Officer kit with Skorpion as a sidearm, that was something

hmm.. Not sure about that. SVD uses exactly same ammo as PKM. Ball ammo in SVD will get you At least grouping of about size of your 2 hands at 600 yards or so I heard so I don't think it uses special ammo.

But come to think of it Insurgent PKM do have less ammo than other MG kit. MEC HK21E kit has about 5 links right? And it uses same class ammo as PKM.

But what makes you think if a guy can buy and take 3 boxes of 7.62X54R with PKM, a guy with SVD only take 2 extra magazines?

Now I know some one is going to say, Insurgent sniper is always hit and run and they won't engage in rifle combat so this only 2 mag thing is real. But there is alot of other things in this mod that is not real. Such as reviving. Or the fact only BLUFOR has rally points and BLUFOR uses human wave tactic. So, It won't hurt to have few extra magazine for 'Gameplay Reason'

Limited amount of mags for SVD on Insurgents side could be explained. They use special 7.62mm round that makes SVD extremely accurate and those bullets are quite rare (especially abroad).

[Killer-Ape]

You can still use standard 7.62x54mmR Mosin-Nagant ammo. Pretty common too. This can be solved by adding another SVD slot that has more ammo and added deviation.

But I rather keep the current 2 magazine design. It feels so much more satisfying when you pop somebody. Only thing that makes me sad is how you can’t get direct kills from chest hits.

Insurgent SVD magazine count jacked up to 8+1.

[StuTika]

seriously? cool. Anyway i thought SVD used standard PKM round, that made is easy to get ammo for.

And I'd never thought of the whole carrying more 5.56 thing, but you know, that is true. I'm fairly sure that was one of the reasons lots of countries switched to 5.56 - the individual soldier can carry more rounds.

I read in a small arms book that with 7.62, british soldiers could carry 200 rounds with the FAL.

So I think MEC ammo should be reduced to...oh wait. Just realised something.

G3 mags are 20 rounds. M16/M4/L85/QBZ are 30. *slaps forehead*

Ignore me!

8+1 M16 gives 270 rounds, 8+1 G3 gives 180. All is well.

Stu.
