BF2S Forums Svd Ownage

SVD is a realy gd rifle , i would pick an SVD over a M95 any day.

svd is good i prefer the type 88 because of the thin sights still madly in love with my m95 thoe =]

in Kark i prefer the SVD as beeing a mec.

every snipergun is deadly in the right hands

in very long rage i would take m95

I would take the SVD or M24 over long ranges instead of the M95 because of its thick crosshairs.

or you could just borrow my L96A1.....

Quite likely they had a medic helping them.  Seen too many times Snipers camp out on top of buildings on that map with a medic in reserve.  Unless the opposing CO decides to Arty them they basically can stay there the whole time.

There are two maps where I find the SVD much more useful than the the bolt action rifles -- Karkand and Ghost Town.  The haze on those maps completely blunts the long range advantage of the bolt action rifles.  If you learn correct usage of the SVD you can wreak havoc.  But on non-hazy maps there's a big risk of being owned by the bolt actions. 

Pre-1.2 patch the SVD was a piece of shit and I'd never touch it but now it is a viable alternative in the right situations.  I can certainly believe that a dedicated squad of SVDs on Karkand could turn a battle.  I see the SVD used by veteran players much more often on Karkand than in the past.

i prefer shooting people in the face with L96A1 although SVD is decent when i just want a change of pace. i've never encountered a good sniper on karkand using the SVD though.

I think the main thing is the semi-auto capabilities... I can't aim worth a damn with that rifle... I love my M95 & L96 for their specific reasons.

Yesterday I tested the SVD on Devil's Perch and Mass Destruction,woo-hoo,this rifle really rocks on foggy or night maps.

So much for squadkilling capability :


I usually avoid using the semi-automatics but yesterday I kinda felt giving it a go and it turned out to be better than expected.
The recticle of the SVD-scope is quite different than the other mildot scopes,but once you know the point of impact a headshot is quite easy even on long range(long for a SVD).

LOL,just compare our screenshots,the Dragunov is really the ideal tool to piss off clans.I had a similar position on Devil's Perch yesterday and also got ton of kills from people who ran up the stairs.

On Devil's Perch the SVD is the total killer,with the nightvision you get such a bad view that the M95 or M24 are just too slow on medium range,long range shots are just too rare due to the darkness of the map.
In regular BF2 the SVD is good for city maps or foggy maps like Songhua but kinda worthless on long range maps like Kubra Dam or Gulf of Oman.
In SF it's awesome because there only are either city maps(Warlord,Ghost Town) or foggy maps(Surge,Mass Destruction) and on some maps you only have the choice between SVD or M95(Spets vs.Rebels),if you are a player who doesn't like the M95(god knows why,I love it) the SVD can be an alternative.

As the screenshots of -EcS-Blade and me show,the Dragunov SVD is a squadkiller,great tool to piss off a whole clan.

The only thing that bothers me about the SVD is its low damage,3 hits on the body are the usual,for assault or antitank you sometimes need 4.
The SVD just needs a littlebit more power or more zoom,right now it has the same damage like a PKM(45 points) but is no way close to its rate of fire and amount of spare ammo.
Tune it up to 48-49 points,the SVD and Type88 should be more than just an assault rifle with a scope.

Drog is good sometimes, but there are just some days where i find i can't use it, so then it's M95 to the rescue (only if im playing SF, any other time it's L9 FTW)
