And sniping in this game is so easy
It is still harder than NOT sniping. You still have to land that headshot unless one is using a rifle with that horrible sweetspot mechanic and the target happens to be in the sweetspot range.
Every other gun type is tens of times easier in most of the ranges of common engagement
The statements about sniping being easy makes me wonder if people expect a sniper to have to account for, wind speed, direction and the Coriolis effect land a shot as well as to solve a captcha to pull the trigger.
I am looking forward to getting the rest of the Mini Scout attachments in order to go back to using versatile and forgiving full auto weapons outside of settling vendettas with Simo Häyhä wannabees.
Agree with most of these. All the other guns are too easy. Your target size is greater and the recoil is a joke (also doesn't help that the HS multipliers in this game are mostly irrelevant). It's not like I have to have perform recoil control like in counter-strike. However, the factors you mention, not so much. I don't have to account for wind speed nor the Coriolis effect. I've shot at ~900 meters (nearly end of map to another) and the only things I had to account for were drag/gravity (affecting the velocity and drop). What your saying sounds like something I'd have to consider if I'm actually shooting at the range where my target is >= 1000 meters. In this game, you should be way below that distance if your going to be doing anything productive.

I was trying to make a point about how they seem to expect sniping to have way too many different physics from the other weapons, as if it was from a different game. Not that I want people to snipe from 900 meters away.
Personally I always try to be in the distance that I can be the most effective with any given weapon. When I am using a bolt action, depending on the case I try to get as close as possible I can, in order to be able to help clean up as much of the objective as possible. Longer distance shots only happen when I want to counter the enemy snipers when they are being annoying.
Landing headshots not entirely. But shooting at a body or pre-snaping actually helps them a lot. Every single time, they may lock on the target, even through foliage. You cannot do any strafe movement, the aim lock will follow no matter what.
Oh I see what I mean, you talk about how all that aim slow down with a controler, works like a soft aimbot.
I think DICE needs to reconsider when such a thing should have an effect.
Not really. It is enough to hit someone at the centre mass of the body with ADS + Range Finder bound together with one click... most of the time, instant headshots at ranges over 50m.
This is why the sweetspot is a bad idea in BF6. It rewards bodyshots. If there is one thing that has to go from the BF6 sniping, is that thing.
I am not sure about the instant headshots part, unless they are prone of course. Or unless the way the zeroing works, ends up making the shot fly a click higher which when aiming at center mass would mean that the head might get shot instead.
I am still not comfortable with the Range finder, I find that when I am using it (without a fire/ADS keybind, just zeroing at the terrain near the target), I instead sometimes overshoot above them.
