sniper question

[Garack]

So i read the manuel..

When i snipe with sniper rifles (not marksman) my shot goes way to high.

Is it because pf recoil?

In the manuel i read that i prone wait 5 seks and under 600 metres i can shot and hit at the crosshair. i can correct my position (so i can move sideways in prone and got no more deviation, right?)

or when deployed its better not to move..

but shot always go higher..

[BabylonCome]

aim lower then..... lol

You must hold the rifle still for eight seconds and then fire, after your first shot wait another 4 seconds and then shoot again, you must hold it steady or move it very slow.

If you are engaging a target which is +600 meters distant, you will have to aim slightly higher because of the bullet drop

[goguapsy]

If you move, you DO get deviation. It's proportional: the longer you move, the longer your deviation takes to settle.

And remember, when you go prone, click the button again (ex. the deployed M24 once more) to activate a breathing sound which plays for 8 seconds, the necessary time for the deviation to settle for your first shot.

bullet drop should be taken into account from 400 meters
but it is still possible to hit stuff at 800 meters

I thought it was 600m?

hold it for 8 too 10 seconds if that dont work strat aiming lower or higher

[ConscriptVirus]

instead of counting the time, just hit the "3" button or w/e slot # ur sniper rifle is under and you'll hear urself breathing. after the breathing sound goes away, ur ready to fire.

Extra Tip: Always have a spotter if you are using Sniper Rifle!

[sniperrocks]

wait did you deploy your sniperrifle? (not sure if sniper has deployed mode, I know marksman does)
Having it deployed would make a HUGE difference too

[Garack]

ok thanks, but prone is best for deployable weapons?

[sniperrocks]

Yup, Exiled is right
Apparently the new version of PR makes it so all stances are equally accurate which I have no idea how it's reality but.. : )

Its an engine limitation. It would be more realistic to have a weapon resting system (like in Red Orchestra) but that can't be done, so the current system is used. While it can be used unrealistically, it is generally more realsitic as it allows the simulation of resting the weapon on, say, sandbags or a windowsill. If deployed mode didn't work like this it would be very difficult to use sniper rifles/LMGs/DMRs/whatever from such positions effectivly.

[USMC_Cook]

I love the new system, and it's perfectly realistic for snipers. Snipers generally have a tripod with them to be used as a support for non-prone shooting positions (i.e. sitting). Also, the standing allows snipers in-game to shoot from deep inside rooms, which simulates an urban hide. It just makes the kit a lot more realistic and useful in-game. I was just a cook in the Marines, but I knew a sniper or two, so take my word for it

Granted, the system can be taken advantage of, but the benefits far outweigh the costs.

[Northwest Fresh]

I have the same thing, and I have no idea what causes it. The best you can do is aim for the shoulders/neck area and it will register as a headshot.

[Garack]

ok but when aweapon is deployed, then the movement penalty is harder, right?
