Hello.
I suppose this might have been descussed before, but i didnt find any topic taking up this one in particulare
I have just finished reading the memoriars of Josef "Sepp" Allberger, an highly decorated world war two german sniper, who I guess most of you are familiar with.
Though when reading through this I saw that over and over againt the russian marksmen began useing Explosive ammunition rather early in the war, first of all apperently to bring horror to the enemy and to do effichant kills.
Later the germans also adopted this type of ammunition (B patrone) for their snipers too.
So what I was thinking, how about an posebility for snipers to choose this type of ammonition when they head out into the battle? Say perhaps, together with their normal 25-30 rounds, they could have 5 rounds(not refillable unless looted from other snipers) of this special ammo that they could use?
I suspect that gamevise it could be rather interesting when a rifle round goes boom right beside you, and you know you are dealing with an enemy sniper?
This could perhaps trigger an slightly more effichant/powerful supression effect (as I assume will be implemented in the game), giveing the sniper say, an better edge in duels with normal infantry, and when faceing an enemy sniper, an even more edge when sending one of those rounds in through the slit in his hideing spot.
The change between ammo might be implemented with the same button as machinegunners changes barrel? as the B button is only used for that particular purpous. Hit B to load special explosive round.
It would make a rather interesting twist to snipers and the snipers around haveing an more interesting twist than simply haveing better sights/Scope.
