I agree it is good for multiple targets at close range. But against one its better just to go bolt and just shoot them in the head. If you are even remotely good (even with bf2 hitboxes) you should get headshots.
I'm sorry, but thats egotistical bs.At long ranges the bolt actions do have a greater advantage, but again if that advantage is used comes down to the shooter. I'd like to see you try and even get ONE shot off, never mind whether it hits or not, against someone from a clan like [iB], Dc*, or +.plus flying around like a rabbit on steroids. It's just not plausible.
All those clans are dead btw (except for +plus who arnt competing in 10v10)

Bolt action, I find, is heaps better than the SVD. I can pull off headshots easier with the bolt action because a) I hate the SVD cross hair and b) the l96 is just so much better.

At close range with bolt, its just as easy as using the svd. I can shoot them in the chest and pull out my pistol quicker than I can fire 3 bullets at the target with SVD.

Jalalabad ( I can't spell it) and Daqing Oil Fields is the best place for SVD.

The SVD automatically has low accuracy. The chance of getting a headshot even when aiming at a perfectly still target you have a chance of missing. I just dont miss in the first place. No matter how good you are 10 headshots a clip is not possible. And lets face it, most people actually use it because they cant headshot.
I disagree. I have got 8-10 kills all head shots on 1 svd clip a few times before.

You sound like a n00b that doesn't know how to use it tbh.
Give him a link to your SVD video in jalalalalalabad, that'll keep him quiet

Lol my heart bleeds for all those clans. Ah well each to his own. You're vastly more credible here because
a) Ive seen you play and therefore respect points to you
b) your not intent on making people that arent of the same opinion as you on the rifle are noobs

Trying to figure out ... actually we like to call that experience. Maybe if you stick around long enough you will understand it at some point.

bullshit.
Every situation, dont make me laugh ... you would get raped on any map with view over 250 meters.

Headshots faster ... where the hell do you come up with this crap. The bullet travels a 1000 m/s for all Sniper Rifles. If both fire at the same time, over the same distance, you will both hit the mark at the same time (ping / lag omitted ofcourse).

For me it's bolt action all the way. In vanílla the L96, SF with SAS the M24, with SPETZ and Insurgents the M95. Sometimes I pick up the kit of a dead sniper (coz of no ammo, no clays), and if it is a SVD, I will use it.
Bolt action works fine for me at all ranges. I dislike the crosshair of the SVD, and the big recoil. With bolt action u dont have these problems.

Thats quite an impressive sniper rifle KDR youve got going there mate. It just comes down to what someone is confortable and good with. Clearly you own with the bolt actions (own VERY hard might I say), but I find it hard to believe that in CQC even a sniper of your skill would be able to react fast enough to dorp someone that is competent and using a semi.

If I'm on the {Sn][per} server.. L96A1 most times
I pretty much play SF IO exclusivly now, and the SVD destroys Ghost town.
Definately more handy than a bold action when you spawn and there is a couple guys in front of you, capping your flag...

CQC isnt my game. If you want to see some Snipers own it up in CQC you should check ChikyuuShoujoArujuna, Dairuka, Drunk_Musketeer, Nyte,  Todd_Angelo, Tushers, BigmacK419 or BarrakudaSSS. To name just but a few that I know and will break down squads at a blistering pace. Some use Semi's and some use Bolts. Its just what they have gotten used to I guess.
I prefer the non-city maps where I can cover multiple flags from the same area or where I have some distance towards my target in direct support of my teams advancement.

If you can hit long distance targets with a G36C and a G36E then SVD Should be no problem.

I prefer the Auto-Snipers because I tend to miss alot , I blame my Canadian Ping playing on California Server.

But anywho... On many occasions having a Dragonov or a Type-88 instead of a Bolt Action Rifle has saved me on the Battlefield.

ex. To deliver 2 quick body shots against a Nearby target. Which in this case having a shorter scope helps.

hey jemme, I tried stopping by, but forgot my password, and when a new one got sent to me, it didn't work after I went to the activation page.
Is there still a wookie server?

SVD is doing it's  DMR role perfectly . If you want to snipe but dont become useless for your squad - use semiauto while moving behid your squad . Your buddies will say 'thanks' a lot for taking out enemy snipers & supports

I generally prefer the better scope of the bolt actions at longer ranges and anything under about 200m i'll use another weapon i.e. the PKM.

You got it, Type-88 and SVD provide totally different roles for the sniper kit.

I didn't intend for this to be a "who's a better sniper and who's opinion is more credible thread" but whatever, I still like to hear what anybody has to say. I still can't decide which I like more between the SVD and the L96. I generally am a Karkand whore, and with the many corners and fog, the shorter ranged scope of the SVD seems more practical for the urban setting. Sometimes I'll go 15-12 or something with the SVD and then switch to the L96 and got 33-3 and vice-versa. It just depends on the situation of the flags and such. I just prefer the semi-autos becuase of the fact that you can shoot multiple times and stay scoped in. I really don't like the M95 unless I plan on camping the airfield to keep noobs out of the heli and J10. Well that's my 2 cents.

well tbh i only ever use the L96A1... the only exception is to annoy jet/chopper pilots with the M95. Just prefer accuracy and consistency over rate of fire.
