Re: Wpn 009 - SVD - Russia
 

Hmm, but doesn't range figure into the accuracy as well? I guess the SVD shoukld be as accurate on the closer ranges its used on as the other sniper rifles.

However accuracy SVD is already insufficient for the decision of some sniper problems. So, modern requirements to the sniper weapon assume a deviation of hits no more than one angular minute. For range of 1000 m it makes 290 mm, for 500 m - 145 mm, 100 m - 29 mm. Meanwhile for SVD these figures are equal according to 480-560 mm, 188 mm and 36 mm.

To make Range = 15, Accuracy = 25 (for example).

Re: Wpn 009 - SVD - Russia
 

Whether probably to exclude from the list of weapon " SVD "?
As on many parameters it is similar " Wpn001 - Sniper Rifle ".
In exchange to receive other necessary weapon.

For example, heavy sniper rifle B-94.

Not 100% sure about it, but I would say that weapon 001 "sniper rifle" is more meant to represent the older Mosin-Nagant Model 1891-30 and similar (post-war SVT rifles?). In the same way, it can represent post-90s bolt-action sniper rifles like the SV-98, if this one entered service.

Re: Wpn 009 - SVD - Russia
 

Epoletov_SPR gives a good point though. Is it planned in one of the following versions to include Russian heavy sniper rifles?

Re: Wpn 009 - SVD - Russia
 

If it is impossible to remove SVD, then please increase " Rate of Fire " divisions = " Sniper Team, Sniper and etc. ".

As SVD as well as SVT - an automatic rifle. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif
Accuracy, for example = 25 %, Range = 12-15.

Re: Wpn 009 - SVD - Russia
 

Have you looked at the Russian weapons list lately ? Which weapon should I remove to include that ? The "SVD" has been removed from all "sniper" units and is now included with various infantry units as a squad weapon which, as has been stated here, was it's actual usage. All "snipers" use a "sniper rifle".

DRG
------------
SVD - standard sniper rifle in Russian army. Any other shiper rifle have in Russian army - low quantity.

I do not agree with Epoletov_SPR - I think that - this sniper rifle needs to be left. SVD - it was developed for a long time - and this rifle is older than modern standards for for modern rifles. So it turns out that when this rifle only have launched in a batch production - it quite met the requirements of sniper rifles for that moment of time up to 1000 meters. And in modern conditions - this rifle keeps within modern specifications - only on distance of 600 meters. It turns out that automatic sniper rifle SVD - can strike on distance of 1000 meters a target about human growth with a deviation 560mm - it enough to kill for example the person or to get in the car. All my words confirm links with the description of this rifle - which has given you Epoletov_SPR. Also SVD - can conduct sniper fire very quickly since is an automatic sniper rifle. But I so understand in game of this we cannot make - but I suspect accuracy of the characteristic it should influence.

Re: Wpn 009 - SVD - Russia
 

Has looked WinSPMBT 3.0.

Now in divisions of infantry - " Dragunov SVD ".

I suggest to clean SVD as duplicating Wpn001 " Sniper Rifle " and to add instead of it " Heavy sniper rifle ".

If "SVD" it will be left, then for taking into account of its rate of fire I suggest to increase parameter Kill.

Re: Wpn 009 - SVD - Russia
 

A "sniper Rifle" in THIS game is a specialized sniper rifle. It really is not the least bit important what the name of it is or whether it's bolt action of semi-automatic. As has been noted the SVD was introduced to give squads a longer reach. The "Snipers" now all have "Sniper rifles" and you can think of that by whatever name you like. The SVD is now set up to be used by some infantry units. If you want to think of some of the "Sniper rifles" as being SVD's that's OK
