BF2S Forums L85A1 Help

The tip of the "needle" should be on the body part you want to to hit.  Aiming for the head, put the tip there, wait a beat if you can, and fire slow single shots after each beat.  Don't forget to aim a bit higher as the range increases.

On full auto or rapid fire, the L85 is not accurate at all, and even in semi-automatic mode, it's not any more accurate than the AK-101, it's just that the scope can help you line up distant shots better.  It also does less damage, needing four torso hits to kill a healthy target, where the AK-101 can do it in three hits.

I Personnally(Spelling?) think the original medic gun is better if not about the same as the unlock it has amazing accuracy and while yes it takes a good 4 shots to take a healthy person down it has the accuracy to make up for the heavy hit strength. Although it is fun having a scope while racking up those Heal and Revive Points

Meh i find it easier to hit people with. but does less damage than the ak.. if your trying to shoot far off targets it is by far better than the ak simply because of the scope. and well if you are close than the ak would be better. But if you ask me its by far better than the m16

the ak does most dmg overall, m16 does less dmg that ak, but has less recoil.. l85 well... its an l85 isn't it? use it to look l33t

Personally I perfer the M16A2 over any of the other Medic guns, including the AK101, but that's just my preference as a Medic. I would say I play more as a combat-medic than just a Medic though. It's very easy to hit your target from afar, or close range. Just line up the horizontal centerpoint of the M16 scope center mass to the victim (same way as you would in real life).

It's extremely accurate if you know how to use it and is much better than the unlock in my opinion. The scope is to funky on the L85A1 for my tastes, the M16 is simple and to the point. Plus you don't have that horrible full-auto recoil that makes your bullets spray like a shot gun. It's very easy to forget to release on full-auto during close quarters combat with the L85A1, with the M16, 1 or 2, 3 round bursts will take the target out.

The only unrealistic thing about the M16 is it's accurate 3 round burst for distant targets, in real life the 3 round burst is horribly unaccurate and is only used in situations I would never want to be caught in.

Personally I do not like the m16, and like the L85A1 better because i cant really aim that well with the m16 because im more of a spary and pray player, who does a lot more close range encounters, and besides, it just looks better! It can be god awful at log range on full auto, so try semi auto, it works a lot better

Me too.  I nearly doubled my medic kills in a couple of rounds after getting the unlock, because all of a sudden I could empty a magazine at people getting in my face and also hit people lying down at range.  It suits my (lack of) game much better than the M16. But yeah, it sprinkles lead all over the landscape on full auto.
The AK is a perfectly decent piece of kit, but I think I'll continue using the L85 just for consistency.
