BF2S Forums whats the best sniper rifle??

just some data to use, your scope's have dotts, divide the space between the dotts in 10 pieces,
and you have a milldott:
L96 has its dots at 5 parts, so divide by 5 when using the L96

if a target is standing and is 180 mtrs away he is 10 milldotts tall on your scope! ( 1 dott )

10 milldotts = 180 mtrs
9 milldotts = 200 mtrs
8 milldotts = 225 mtrs
7 milldotts = 257 mtrs
6 milldotts = 300 mtrs
5 milldotts = 360 mtrs
4 milldotts = 450 mtrs
3,5 milldots = 514 mtrs
3 milldotts = 600 mtrs
2,5 milldotts = 720 mtrs
2 milldotts = 900 mtrs
1,5 milldotts = 1200 mtrs

yes this is not a linear calculation it is a curve and yes its on a 5x scope as used in bf2
if you can do the math better, please post.

making a headshot when a person is smaller than 4 milldotts is not impossible but i rarely make a headshot on that distance.
3 milldotts, never done that,

i know my english and my stats suck, you dont have to tell me

M95 is the best though it has one flaw scope line beeing too thick making it obsolete for distance headshots not saying it can't be done but it is really annoying to get accustomed to it

Need I say more?

L96 nice i wish i had acsii character so i could make a good one

Even though I voted for the M95 because it ignores body armor and can shoot through heli glass (that is SO satisfying!), I usually use the L96. It's just so fun to shoot I can't help myself.

My longest shot would probably be from Sharqi TV station to Construction...anyone know how far that is?

I would like to say, even though I voted the L96A1, I wish to change it to the M95, now I have masterd it, I find it superior. After learning the simple tactic of aiming just above the head, I have discoverd I am now unstopable. Plus you can stop pilots!

This is me destroying a Pilot and the gunner, ignore the near empty, clip, I dont reload until im out.


A good hiding place and using the aim above head technique, I got my best round score so far.

Question- How is it the M95....the "most powerful" rifle in the game has the most bullet drop?

If it has superior power, the l96, SVD etc etc should have the bullet drop the M95 has and the M95 should be a straight shot kill will its propulsion power advantage over the others.

That make stoo much sense? Or none?

Play balancing.

I like how the SVD, one of the most feared sniper rifles in the world at it's heyday, is a piece of junk in the game.

Nevermind about the TV to construction, it's only ~200 meters after all. The fog must make it seem farther than it is.

From the bridge above the northwest PLA spawn (I think it's called the village or something?) on Wake to the US artillery island is ~500 meters. Same with the carrier to the arty island.

Since the L69A1 came out, I have used that for all my sniping needs.  However, I wasnt very good at it.  Yesterday I was sniping from a smoke tower and was not hitting spit.  Both me and my buddy were out of ammo, so I killed myself and went support and spawned on him.  I rearmed him and put down another bag for me, and picked up what I THOUGHT was my old kit.  It had an M95, so it was his kit (he took mine).  But when I used that rifle, I got three or four headshots in a row, including on from about 340 yards/meters/feet/centimeters (whatever it is).

The best rifles period are the MEC/PLA SVD Type88 due to the simple fact that you don't lose the target between re-loading rounds.

1 Head Shot kill would be the L96 hands down. EA should be ashamed of the M95 in this game. Pure garbage.

Are you kidding me? ALL of the sniper rifles are one head shot one kill. If you kill them in one shot like you should, you dont need to know where he went. M95=L96, but M95 kill pilots , which, by the way, I have a knack for (heheBooks)

The m95 is really irritating. I got killed 5 times in a row when i got in a jet.

i love moments like these where i get 3, 4, or even 5 swift kills with my L96A1
