Can anyone tell me what exactly the lines in the sniper rifle scope mean and what the numbers represent. I know some of you will say, it just takes practice. I get that, but I wonder if anyone knows what exactly they mean (i.e. 2 representing 200 meters out of the ideal sniping range etc.).

Thanks in advance.

I don't even see any numbers. Are there numbers? Just aim and get a headshot, don't worry about the lines and the numbers, just where the crosshairs are.

there are numbers on the m95 representing distance

ive been trying to see if the markers will help as a guid for leading. but it depends on the target speed and if they are running straight at you or across you

well i dont use those markers, when the target is far away just aim a little bit above the head to get the headshot. practise on bots to find out how it works, and when you find out the markers DO word: don't forget to tell us

Lol i think they are just to make it all pretty. THey mean very little. With sniping its basically aim for head. If they are far away aim a pixel or two higher than head.

The scopes are meant to reflect the real scopes of whichever sniper rifles, of course. In reality, (I'll use the M95 for the sake of argument) the "6" and "8" would mean 600 to 800 meters, respectively. Of course, with BF2, the maps are much smaller, with distances across the map usually no more than 400 meters. Then again, in real life you can adjust the scope for wind and stuff. Same applies with the SVD, albeit with different numbers.

In the scopes in BF2, nothing much (none of the scopes are accurate representations of their real-world counterparts).

In reality stepped lines in a scope are now usually in-built gauges to range the shot for the shooter, as in the mil dot scope; the sight that's usually fitted on the Dragunov has one of the most complex examples of this.

Thats why i hate the svd and type 88 crosshairs they make it hard to snipe...
Type 88 has a crosshair, a pretty good one too: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h187/ … Type88.png

L96A1's is much better than the M95s and in addition it's more accurate too (half the deviation) which sure don't hurt.
