calculating shots

[AU_1979]

hello snipers! i am relatively new to this game...and i loved it! however, when I play multiplayer i get shot from 200m away etc...when i spot someone I almost never seem to get anywhere near the target purely becuse I can't properly (not yet) calculate my shots depending on the distance using the reticle thus making me an easy target; it also makes the game a bit boring (for me) any tips guys?

thanking you in advance

If you're playing MP then, it's how the server OP has the game set up. Wind, bullet drop, aim assist, high, medium, low wind and the like may be, turned on or, off. Be warned though, players are using trainers and cheats in MP but, there are some that are just good at the game because, they've played it from the beginning. They know all the maps by heart and how to play them.

thank you for your reply HunterKiller...yes i am well aware of the wind, bullet drop etc...its just frustrating that I cant get any shots longer than 100-120m away..as for the cheats i think its not worth it...either oyu play the game as a sniper or you dont!...i pressume i need more practice...thanks again!!

The more you play with a specific weapon, the more you get used to it. People online have high knowledge of their weapon, of their capacities (if bullet drop / wind is on), they basically know their weapon on the tip of their fingers, and the maps by heart. They know every hiding spot, and will cover their asses. With a lot of practice (and I can relate), it feels natural to not miss a single shot. Practice makes perfect. Pick a good rifle and stick with it for a while in order to learn it. :)

Which reticle you use can make a difference. I use the one with evenly spaced marks. They seem to work out to about 50 yards each. A lot of it will just be learning the maps and knowing about how far 2 points are apart.

Only in a real fight, you can against good players to learn a precise shooting, with the wind and the bullet drop in this game. If you have the desire to train and continually play this game. Or you can just play all like Most of the players in this game, just shoot the center of the crosshairs that do not need any sniper calculation of the wind and the bullet drop, which do not need to feel the distance to the enemy, where it is not necessary to study the maps at a distance. If you accept this style of play, in the future you as Most of the players in this game, great players will appear - cheaters and hackers, you'll be groundless to blame these players in foul play, players who have dedicated this game for many years of his life, We studied this game in all its aspects. And you will never know what real sniper Art of fighting in this game.

Now I haven't done MP, but what I suggest is simply going into the training firing range and practicing with your prefered weapon.

Since the targets are roughly mansized, and the ranges are marked, you can quickly learn how to figure out ranges and shots.

Here is a rough rule of thumb that has served me well in more than one game that simulates ranges. (Arma and Battlefield)

Using a 10x scope (Most in SE3 are 4-6x, so keep that in mind) if a man's head is in the center, and his lower leg/feet are at the bottom of the scope, he is 100 meters/yards away. If his head is at the center, and his feet are halfway down the bottom half of the scope, he is 200 meters away.

Using 5x as the average in sniper elite, if a man's head is at the center of the scope, and his feet are only a quater of the way down the bottom half of the scope, he is about 200 meters. This method has worked very well for me so far, and is very quick to use.

Quick Reference table 5x (man's head at center, length of body/radius of scope)

1/1 - 50m
1/2 - 100m
1/4 - 200m
1/6 - 300m
1/8 - 400m

If you have a 4x scope, aim a little lower, 6x, aim a little higher

Opticially,ALL the scopes in this game are ONE HALF the power of the read out of the scope used !!! The are no range bonuses like SEv2,and your points stats are based om the range you shoot !!!
