RHS KOTH best weapons help

[Twan]

Hi

What are the best US sniper rifles in RHS KOTH? I was thinking the M14 for inside the zone, how are the M24/M40/M2010? And what is the DSR-1 on Russia?

Is the M4 Block II the best choice for a permanent AR? I always carry a launcher and it's lighter than the standard M16 so that's good too. How accurate is it?

Also which line on the RPG-7 PGO site do you use to aim the OG-7V?

Is the SVDM (NPZ) worth it for inside the zone or would the AK-74MR with AP rounds be fine?

Right now I have the AK-74MR, T-5000, PKP (with no sights because I hate the Russian MG optics) and RPG-7 (3x VL 1x OG) on Russian, and the M3 MAAWS HE and SMAW AA (but it's too heavy) on US. I want to put the M145 sight on my AK-74MR unfortunately it won't go on the PKP. I like it better than the ACOG even.

Thanks

Lot of questions...

For starters, there is a spreadsheet for all the infantry weapons available in RHS Koth with exact stats, atleast for the C4G Servers:

I don't know, if they left out a weapon or two but it is a good start.

If you seek raw damage, the M107 is the weapon of your choice, however you can't silence this beast and it is heavy, making aiming with it even with a Bipod hard. I've only used it once, if I remember it correctly, it kills everything with one shot, no matter the distance on which you can zero it.

I personally have bought the M2010 ESR, it has more damage than most of the BLUFOR sniper rifles, can be zeroed at max 1500 meters and it kills with one shot to the chest or, of cause, the head.
If you hit in some odd place like the legs, your victims can survive the shot. And of cause, since with all the lag and desync hitting moving targets in MP is very hard, best wait until your target stands still.

Really, sniper is not a moneymaker role, if you seek that, don't go sniping.

Can't say anything about the DSR-1, since I never used it so far, I'm pretty content with my SVDM.

For RPG-Sight look here:

For inzone fighting I'd prefer proper assault rifles, since, as said, desyncing is a problem with hitting mobile targets, even semi-automatic snipers like the SVDM are a bit too slow to compensate for that, although that problem is less problematic in closer ranges. However, if one sprays you with an AR, you're toast.

If you really wanna do some inzone sniping, pick up the Vintorez for Marksman or the AS VAL, these are made for close-range sniping, so everything up to 300, max 400 meters.

I tried the VAL but the rounds are pretty slow so it wasn't that fun to shoot, maybe I will try again, and that .50 cal is way too heavy like you said.

Also what's with the M84 lol, more accurate and a 250 round capacity, I already have the PKP but maybe I should get that, I use iron sights anyway

Imho buying a sight with a machinegun, something like an RCO or MRCO (or ACOG, basically an ACOG is an MRCO) isn't a stupid idea, quite the contrary.
You can lockdown whole streets on ranges of several hundred meters and mow down any enemy that crosses with greater precision and leading is also somewhat easier with seeing the enemy a bit zoomed in.

And the Russian PSO-scopes are a stroke of genius, since they got a built in rangefinder, so you can more or less pinpoint the range without using a rangefinder.

The Vintorez takes a bit time to get used to it, but it does headshot kills as every other weapon, produces no bullet crack because of subsonic rounds (makes it harder for an enemy to find you when you shoot them) and it does more damage at greater ranges than an AK (because AK's, no matter how modern, are not built for sniping, not even close ranges).

Imho Vintorez and AS VAL are the only weapons made for close range, in zone sniping and covert ops, since in RL they're Spetsnaz Weapons. AS VAL deals a bit more damage as of now, but is a bit less precise compared to the Vintorez.

Did they remove the .408/LPR/320 thats the best for long range anti-personnel in my opinion.. wont beat its accuracy when you get out over 1500m its very noticeable. An retains great lethality... but maybe they pulled it because of that lol. If so.. I still wouldnt use a .50 unless under 600m an needing potential anti-vehicle capability... but then again.. also prolly not available for those parameters the spmg would be my choice.
