Nah, this isn't accurate. Don't you notice that the people you shoot take damage instantly whether they're at 50 m or 500 m?

No, I have no trouble hitting targets running around. I'm actually pretty surprised that people think you need to lead targets. Maybe this is why most snipers have such low kill counts. As I said to the other guy, have you never shot someone at 500+ m? Don't you notice that they take damage immediately? That there isn't a delay?

Haha whatever dude, try shooting a moving target instead of the easy ones and come back and talk to us.

Your both right you know

SiKNytmre Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.09.12 19:38:00 - [1] - Quote I am making this thread because from the little i have played, sniping so far has been the hardest role to fill in this game. The purpose of this thread is a place where tips and tricks can be talked about and things can be picked up by new guys like me Tips can range from tips on how to play better, to fittings used on the different armors, anything really that you think would help someone else. Got thoughts?
kas croixe Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 14	Posted - 2012.09.12 20:10:00 - [2] - Quote one thing that would help most of my targets(counter sniper speaking) is that if you hear what sounds like something whizzing right by your head, RUN. that means the other sniper has you in his sights and just missed you by inches. don't sit there and look for him. get behind something, keep moving to something else, keep as much of the battlefield behind something as you can to obscure their shot, move slowly to a new point to keep off their radar(if you're like me, already plan on someone finding you and plan at least 2 covers down the road.) never think that because they aren't shooting back, the enemy wont find you, because that just means someone is lining up their shot. in short, be flighty and paranoid.

Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2002	Posted - 2012.09.12 20:22:00 - [7] - Quote Be careful of friendly fire when they turn that on (Hey, I have to test if it's working, right?) ;-) It's also really easy to fill... Godly shotgun players? +£ber mass kittening driver players? Top killer logibros? These are hard spots to fill. Not to ruin your Cheerios or anything... However a godly sniper IS hard to find. But you will simply know if you are one or not. And so will we. ANDJ3H where did you go :( Top tip? Cover the hack point.

Jin Robot Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 330	Posted - 2012.09.12 20:50:00 - [9] - Quote Never stay in one spot for long. Lead moving targets. Skill up dropsuit command. Ignore haters, they are prolly just upset you sniped them before they could get into their tank. Make sure you reload whenever you have a chance. Do not park yourself somewhere obvious. Try and be useful by covering objectives. Always watch for dropships. Always watch for RDV because its so fun to kill someone before they can get into their vehicle.
Fivetimes Infinity Immobile Infantry 1086	Posted - 2012.09.12 21:24:00 - [10] - Quote Stay in one spot as long as it's safe. Shots are instant so you don't need to lead targets. Always carry a nano hive.

It's usually safe to stay somewhere for 2-3 mins, but pay attention to who you kill - some people come looking for revenge. If you want a laugh, use type 2, remote explosives and nano. Start with a RE on an objective and use it if it's necessary. When you have annoyed enough people for them to come rushing you, drop an re on your spot and leg it somewhere else. 99% of the time the guy looking for you will stand where you were. Boom. Hehehe
