Sniper Bullet Speed
I'm all for bullet drop/travel for snipers since they can one shot players. I'm curious if anyone has done an analysis on how fast/slow a sniper bullet travels in game compared to reality? It seemed slow to me but It could have been lag or i'm just terrible with it, but it seemed underwhelming compared to a DMR or Single Fire Assault Rifle.
Math Section!
SWS-10 (US M24) uses .300 Win Mag:
Average Speed= 3026 Feet/Sec (922 Meters/Sec)
If the ideal standard of gameplay is 60 frames/sec that means that a SWS-10 shot should travel 50 ft/frame or 15 m/frame.
Not sure if anyone has the time to break down game footage frame by frame but I was curious. Before I cry for balancing, it would be good to have some data.
- Hello @Vindit
There will be more Sniper Rifles that will have faster bullet velocity for sure. I find SWS-10 kinda slow... Didn't like the slow bullet velocity with this Sniper Rifle to be honest.. 🙂
Lets wait and see what Sniper Rifles will be in BF2042
