Need a little help with Recon/Sniping

[HUNTER1-0]

At what distance does bullet drop start affecting trajectory?

At what distance do I need to start leading the target

Any other general tips ?

I've only levelled up the M200 so far and just obtained the Rangefinder

Well you have the M200 which is the staple sniper rifle so you should be good.

Honestly? It's trial and error. If you're the erudite type, do the shooting gallery's moving targets with your favorite scope (8x and under, preferably) and get a feel for how bullet travel time is and when the drop starts to kick in. You've got bullet trails so you should be able to get a feel for it quickly. If you learn via "trial by fire" just hop into a 127v127 server and go wild with recon.

Best advice I can give is "just play the class", you're not gonna develop the muscle memory to know how far to compensate for movement and distance otherwise. All the theory in the world pales in comparison to skill developed by practice. Remember that bipod is for the scopes in the long range category, and that you should grab an underbarrel rail that gives you the best ADS time when using medium range scopes. I don't think I need to remind you that all long range scopes emit a glint.

The trick is to quickly be able to zero the range on the scope, yes that is a feature.So if I see a bad sniper PRONE at 413 meters, I set my zero to 400 and boom HS. M200 I believe has the fastest bullet of the Sniper rifles.

Why the 8x? I use the 8x on most 64v64 maps and some of the 127 ones. but some, like waki, i feel the 16x is better.

You can use 4x scope in midrange sniping. Stabilitiey is the best thing of it. Check controls for up and down zero point on scope. It also be usefull on DMRs or other accurate guns like FAL.

Press Alt key and mouse scroll.

Personal preference, tbh. Makes it easier to swap to medium range scopes when needed and my more aggressive playstyle means I'm getting too close to be effective with anything above 8x.

Also, depending on your barrel extension it can change bullet speed, it doesn't affect drop, but it will make moving targets easier, not by much, but enough to make some difference.

Shout out to basic extension, always available, real mvp.
