    @gertjun There are many ways to solve this issue

    1. there can be fixed amount of XP for long range headshots, for example: any headshot between 100-300m gain 100xp. headshots between 300-500m can get 200xp, and anything beyond 500m can gain 300xp max.

    2. xp gained at the amount of distance of the headshot divided by 2. for 500m headshot the xp will be 250.

    there are many different ways to control the XP gained by players, but removing this rule entirely is not pleasing at all.

The 'headshot range =XP' was patched out during BF4 if I remember correctly, never to return thankfully although there may have been a capped bonus but again, I am old and have slept several times since then.....

@Trokey66 Marksman Bonus was original a distance related bonus for a head shot with an bolt action rifle, which then was reduced to a fixed 25xp. The idea was to get the snipers into the objectives. Before a couple of long distance head shots gave enough points to lead the score boards.

I think BF1 had an additional Counter Sniping bonus, when you sniped a sniper.

But I agree a distance bonus is a bad idea.

    @kregora I think the 25xp you are talking about was just for the headshot in addition to the marksman bonus xp.

    you could get 50xp for the kill
    then 25xp for the headshot
    and then something like 200xp for the 200m shot
    which you could gain 275 scores.

    and if you could take out another sniper you also gain another 25xp as counter snipping. (300xp in total)

    that's how i remember it...

    @kregora Knew it was something like that

    @FarbodGreen it still shows the distance, you just don't get the equivalent points.
