Tactics 'accurate' firing a K98k. (PICTURE)

[Vincent_Fox]

Hey there, I'm tired of people claiming that rifles are crap, and the target must be still for you to actually hit them. Well, I spent the last while making a shooters guide for the K98k, I will make one for the MN, Just for you Ruskies! I'm sure this would help them aswell.

I know the sights dont look exactly like the k98's, I'm not trying to win an art competition here. But here we go. Some of this is as accurate as I can possibly make it, and its taken quite a bit of studying to do so.

And please, dont mind my horrible grammar or spelling mistakes!

A nice guide Vincent -- comprehensive and well done. I'll be the first to say thanks for all the rifle newbs out there .

[Cordite]

very nicely done

 

[Verluste21]

If you practice alot with the Kar, it will all go automatically

Only cant get used with the lead on the PTRD. Anyone?

 

[{Cap-Down}]

i''ve never heard anyone say the rifles are crap.

Eh, guess you haven't read the "moar sniperz plz!!1!" threads or others concerning how people don't load quick enough to get classes other than Schutze or Strelok.

Where you aim depends on your ping as well as distance/movement speed, so it might be worth editing your post to show your average ping, and that people should adjust thier aim depending on how different it is to yours.

thank you. that is a wonderful guide, and my already good K98 skills shall surely get better, especially with the sprinting long-ranged targets. now perhaps a guide like this for the K98k Sniper?

 

[Vincent_Fox]

Hmm. To Melipone. I never knew there was all that much difference when it came to ping, but okay, the next guide i'll make will include that, hopefully with some actual pictures this time.

and to Capt.Marion, Glad I could make it for you! I dont get my hands on the 98k sniper all that much but I could defenately give it a shot, I'll turn something up in a week.

IIRC rifles are zeroed at 100m in RO (correct me if i'm wrong). So at long distance you don't need to raise it too much.

Do some tests on high ping servers and compare to your normal server. I always assumed your ping made a difference, might be wrong though.

 

[Dr. Peter Venkman]

Ping makes a ton of difference.

A few weeks ago I was playing on a 3mb pipeline with a ping of about 30.

Where I live I get 15kbps iDSL.

Needless to say, it's somewhat of a struggle on a running target when I get packet loss.

 

[jtkalal]

lol yeah ping makes a hell of a diffence. I have to lead targets about 5 feet! when they are moving acroos at medium range. I have a good connection too so I dont have high ping. I never have to lead at all in single player. To test ping just shoot your gun straight at the ground and watch how long it takes for it to hit.

server tickrate means alot aswell. 20 tick is kinda low and can make hitting moving targets ****ty.

I don't have the figures handy for a Kar98k, but for a 91/30 at 250 meters, with sights set at 100 meters, you're looking at only about 5" of bullet drop. The carbines a little more - 7.5" or so. Out at 500 yards, it's between 60 and 65 inches of drop, You want a head shot at 500 yards, you've got to aim over 5 feet over the dude's head.

 

[Zetsumei]

in ro you usually never use your weapon over 200 meters or whatever. 200 meters is about from the kaukasus courtyard to shepardshut. or from near konings siegessaule to spawn. My range judging is bad but anyway if you look at range maps and actually check ingame to findout howmany u's a meter is you will find out you'll often think something is further away than it actually is ingame. Meaning most of the time you wont have to fire above the target.

This is a very nice guide, as for I have never been able to be as nice of a rifle shooter at long ranges. The method of following a target is very nice!

 

[Britney Federline]

Yes, great guide. I am a believer that if you can see it, you can kill it with a rifle, no scope necessary.

Plus I love the 1980 era graphics. Anyone want to port RO to the Atari 2600?

I'm down for the 2600 port project ...


As for scope v rifle ... You're entirely right. The advantage of a scope, though, is that it makes the pixel-hunt easier. About 3.5 times easier, actually, if you're Soviet, and 4 times easier, for the Germans.

I'm lookin forward for what you're going to have for the Mosin.
