How far is a sniper if you only hear a crack

[Glowth]

Title. Looting NWAF tents and heard 2 cracks.

He could be 100 meters away and be using a svd with an improvised supressor meaning you will only hear the crack. Or it is the sound bug you may not always hear the shot.

Yeah sound is a bit bugged atm. Ive tested it with friends. You can fire a loud rifle and sometimes even from 50 m or so there is no sound. Other times it sounds so loud as if you fired yourself.

It was just a mosquito buzzing your ear. Watch out for zeka virus.

Also, gunshot audio is still imperfect ATM.

well iam running around with a pack of subsonic bullets for sniper rifles(but no gun for it,damn it!:) ). take that+ a suppressor and he can sit right behind you:D

May be a bug. You should not hear a crack at all with "SUB"sonic ammunition (roughly 1100 feet per sec and lower). They should fix this. Used to be a member at a long range shooting club that had a range with working pits. Police used the pistol range for their sub guns and some were suppressed with subsonic rounds. All you can hear is minimal gas expansion out the muzzle and the bolt cycle. ABSOLUTELY no bullet snap. Used to suppress my .22s as a kid and they were just as loud with regular ammo until you used subsonic. With my bolt action all you hear is the firing pin strike the primer. Cool as hell! That's what I love about this game is the ballistics physics. That really is what a bullet sounds like passing by. Working in the pits at the six-hundred yard range, you almost need hearing protection from the constant bullet snaps.

Yes but the crack sound is caused when the bullet is going towards you, this is because it pushes the sound waves in front of it so they squash, which in turn increases the frequency, causing a high pitched noise. This is called the dopler effect

Nevermind, could have sworn they had posted VSS but it's the SVD. Though I'm desperately itching to correct your explanation. I'll leave it be!

Anywho, a friend and I were almost smoked by a suppressed AK and they were about 200m away. We could still hear the muzzle report. We later got shot at by someone we couldn't quite see (600-700m??) and heard only a LOUD snap. They were damn close too! Too far away to see what they were using though.
