Sniping is great. It's all about the hunt. Stalking the enemy sniper that has been harassing your armies flank. Finding a perfect vantage point that allows you to support your team in a push, but is defensible enough to ensure that you can protect your flanks easily at all times in case your position is overrun. Giving support fire to the front line troops by constantly covering windows and vantage points, quickly dispatching enemy MGs and snipers before they have a chance to take advantage of your comrades in arms. Moving from nest to nest as you pick off the advancing/defending enemy soldiers, weaving chaos in their ranks so that your assault troops can overrun them in force.

I think the sniping in this game is pretty damn cool, but I am in fact a terrible sniper. I snipe alright with a regular ol' boltie, though... I landed in the game getting 8 kills with a boltie in my first life!

Just played fallen fighters, killed 25 dudes with a scoped Mosin before I died. Also sniped two tank commanders!! That felt so daaarn goooood.

Sniping is pretty easy imo, you just dial the range, find a good spot, point, click, bam!
BTW I suggest you turn manual bolting ON, that way its easier to see if you hit the dude w/o waiting for the text, also found it nice to dial a bit bigger range than needed so u can aim below the dude w/o the black-reticle thingy blocking ur target.

Luvz you TWI!! <3 <3 <3

Snipers are awesome it requires a logical skill to snipe and be very patient you cant do that kiddie no scopes in this game XD.

I find the Karabiner 98k sniper rifle the best option it has a better sound and much more kick to the shot.



Have not played Russians yet might give them a blast now.

Im glad RO limits snipers to 1 per team. Sniping is what always has pissed me off in shooters, especially WW2 games, where I want to get thrown right in the middle of a brutal battle, and all I usually get is a big open space with none, and everyone sniping in the edges. Whats worse is the CS trauma, of people running up close with those big snipers.

I still think snipers (in a video game) is for sissies and kids who care too much about their stats.

i find it easier to hit with normal rifle without sniper scope, dunno why

sniper just feels odd

what do you guys think about sniping in this game?
I kinda dont like it,but maybe I have play to much COD lol

Its a little sluggish; but remember pressing 6 while in zoom lets you use iron sights (quick scoping basically)

If only I could actually play sniper, its always limited to 1 or 2 and is always picked first.

Do good in a round and you might get a battlefield recommendation, allowing you to pick any class you want as the first one.
