Wpn 009 - SVD - Russia

[thatguy96]

I would agree with it being 15 and the sniper rifle being 30. Its was never intended as anything but a squad designated marksman rifle to extend the reach of infantry out to 600 meters. It was neither designed to be a precision long-range fire-arm nor largely employed as such. The Russian Army to this day has a number of weapons better suited to that task than the SVD.

I think this hasn´t been corrected to 30 when other generic sniper rifles were with ver 3.0. There weer inconsistencies before with sniper rifles, some oobs had acc. 15 and some 30. Now they all should be 30, if its not a special case weapon.

It was missed the last time. Now fixed for v3.5

Range = 25 ( 1250 m) ?

I assume when this was first entered into the OOB's this weapon was thought to be a specialized sniper weapon becasue that's the way it's been set up and used. Give me the name of one that is and I will change it

As a matter of fact SVD is not a "traditional" sniper rifle - its basic purpose - to increase range of effective fire motor-shooting section up to 600 m, to provide necessary shooting support (to suppress crew a machine gun, etc.) Unlike overwhelming majority of sniper rifles of the world, SVD the bayonet-knife is completed.


SVD it was widely used practically in all fighting operations spent by the Soviet and Russian armies from the moment of its acceptance on arms, and has proved to be sample of a small arms exclusively reliable and convenient in circulation. It is necessary to note, that in armies of some countries of NATO also there is a concept of " the weapon of support of the raised accuracy of shooting ". So, in armies of Germany and some other countries as "equivalent" SVD autoloading rifle G3A3/SG is used, in Sea Infantry of the USA are accepted on arms DMR - Designated Marksman rifles, representing or simply rifle M16A2 with an optical sight, or autoloading rifle SR-25 under a cartridge of NATO of 7.62 mm.

Range -- 600 m = 12 hexes.

There is a difference between max range and effective range.

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.

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