Feedback Should snipers have inaccuracy?- APB

[Death_Kitty]

I was playing today, and tried out the new APB snipers, and found I liked them- until my well aimed shot went to the left unexpectedly, Snipers are very hard to use on oddly moving targets, without having to get a miss because of unpredictable inaccuracy- this was not a good idea in my opinion

 

what do you all think?

I dislike snipers on this engine, I think they are decent as they are tbh.

Try not bunnyhopping.

Try not bunnyhopping.

Im not... while standing still snipers do have slight inaccuraccy, though i will go back and test to make sure....

If you want more accuracy, crouch while firing. This applies to most weapons IIRC.

Are the Allied and Soviet snipers identical now?

New testing has found something out- when crouching and standing still, accuracy w snipers is perfect- wow Im being an idiot today!

I haven't noticed any inaccuracy from the snipers other then the bullet drop. I'm constantly amazed at how often my head shots connect from really long range.

Yes, there's an accuracy penalty for running and hopping, and this goes for most, if not all, infantry.

Honestly, i like how snipers are right now. They arent like they used to be abck in 1st release of gamma, instahitkillers used mainly to killwhore at the end of round. Now they actually require skill. And im okay with that.

I do greatly enjoy sniping now. It takes a bit of learning, but it's still really intuitive. The best thing is that it's hard to get really good at it.

I always thought snipers, especially in Renegade were too simple to use. All you have to do is point at someguy's head, click, and b00m they're dead.

 

With snipers as they are now in APB, you actually need to take into consideration other factors like you would an actual sniper such as bullet travel time, drop, and inaccuracy (though this is moreso the work of RNGsus in this regard).

 

Especially now that APB has support for higher hitscan thresholds (> 400 m/s projectile speed), I find the changes done to the snipers more justifiable for what they are now.

The only problem I have with snipers at the moment is the fact that there is no other camouflage for him other than forest green/brown. Good luck hiding in snowy and desert maps.
