Default Re: US Sniper rifle???

As said this is a Bn level game. So generic bolt action-rifle, self-loading rifle, assault rifle will have the same generic characteristics. Also you can find out that different snipers have different fire control and range finder values, that has an effect on firing both moving and stationary targets, that try to simulate better training and optics of different snipers.

Pics of what rifle this or that sniper has is irrelevant. In MBT, snipers sometimes have dragunov as a pic or some old scoped bolt-action, when they should have "correct" pic of scoped SLR, PSG-90, whatever. You can say that pics are wrong, but there´s always something wrong. Do not use the pics as a reference what this sniper is currently carrying.

The problem of making different rifles matter is as said, the scope of the game. You can do your research and do it yourself. If the developers would do it, there would millions of people arguing that this rifle is actually better than the other one, and this is so unreliable, that it can´t have any better stats that that other piece. This is a compromise to make generic sniper rifles to end such pointless discussions, considering this is a battalion level game. As everybody likes or dislikes their personal weapons and find some other better for them, there would be an unbelievable amount of threads considering only different sniper rifles and game designer would be swamped, if they tried to really evaluate these minute differences, not considering the pressures of national prides still at stake in this world. When the sniper rifles would be evaluated, there should be different rifles and SMGs and for the sake of it, flamethrowers and hand grenades, you can see where this is going, huh?
