Death_Kitty Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamWolf Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I dislike snipers on this engine, I think they are decent as they are tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralCamo Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 If you want more accuracy, crouch while firing. This applies to most weapons IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death_Kitty Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 New testing has found something out- when crouching and standing still, accuracy w snipers is perfect- wow Im being an idiot today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAoS Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChopBam Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 New testing has found something out- when crouching and standing still, accuracy w snipers is perfect- wow Im being an idiot today!Yes, there's an accuracy penalty for running and hopping, and this goes for most, if not all, infantry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alstar Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilslayersbane Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyryle Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganein14 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
