US Sniper rifle???

Hi Pat
Im sure the trajectory is flat enough for the ranges in question 750m.
Yes thats right information gathering, the rifle under the information gatherer was just there to hold it up.
And dont forget that the Japanese much prefered to wait until the Americans were directly beneath the tree and then plunge down bayonet first, This satisfied there preferennce for close cantact at the expense of extra casualties much better than long range snipers.
Best Regards Chuck.

Yes, I told you there was gold there if you looked for it, and it sounds like you have worked it out in your mind. The only problem that remains, other than just blatant accuracy across the board is that most users won't have a clue but that's mostly because they just don't know sniping, but any fool can tell that the best have the higher ratings and price. In the current system I suppose one that was particualr about this aspect of the game would eliminate the sniping units that were considered non-historical for that country, so the AI wouldn't choose them.

Hi Charles
Yes like any aspect of the game if there is a will there is a way, as Deputy is interested in this aspect of the game he may wish to post a more detailed breakdown of what the various in-game sniper weapons accuracies, ranges and fire controls might be.
For Ranges I had a further thought. Assuming that the current 750 metres range is an average and assuming range is pretty much determined by magnification then with 500m as standard for open sights and giving an extra 75m for each degree? of magnification we would get ranges of about 650m for the german 1.5 magnification telecope, 700 for the 2.5s and 2.2s, and 800m for the 4.0 times. This is of course just speculation, I wonder how this compares to the real efective ranges?
Best regards Chuck.
