I have been playing DC for about 3/4 of a month now, and I have realised several things about the long-range sniping system that are noteworthy.

 

1. Unless you spawn-camp, it is nearly impossible to get frags

 

This is a no brainer, mostly because most of the large maps that we play on there are 40+ vehicles to choose from, and you cant kill somebody with a sniper rifle that is inside of a tank. The smaller maps that don't have very many vehicles aren't very well suited to sniping anyway. The only exception to this rule is grabbing a m82 on the coalition team on el-amin-something and camping just outside the opp. base.

 

2. Most of the sniper rifles in the game are useless

 

I'm refering to the sniper rifles that are available to the "sniper" class that is chosen in the spawn window. These rifles are simply not accurate enough. I have been prone, and have emptied 20 rounds at a stationary target, without even hitting the target. Also, the sound of the shot is loud enough to wake the dead from the other side of the map. The VSS and Car-15 are also both usless in long-range sniping. The only rifle that I would ever consider using in a match is the m82.

 

3. Even though the m82 is a good rifle, it is underpowered.

 

The m82 is refered to as a "anti-material" rifle. The 0.50 caliber bullet it uses is said to be able to take out a lightly-armored vehicle. And yet, it still can't even scratch a missle-arty truck.

 

Any other thoughts on this topic would be appreciated

i agree with all of the above but i use the m25 and tabuk on random maps and i dont have to spawn camp to kill. but they are not accurate enough and the m82 take many many shots to kill vehicles but i have taken out a hind with it as well as bmp. the vss and car 15 need the whole mag to kil lat range but up cloase are good. over all i think the sniping system needs help but maybe if we all complain they will edit it in the next version

bwahahhahahahaha thas why i play fa

This is why you need to pick up BFV.... nice lush jungles to take cover in, and good sniper rifles

... There isn't even the capability of vehicles in FA, that's why the M82 is useless in FA

you should have seen what azn and myself did with m82's on force. trust me, it isnt useless.
