Ridiculous Nerfing Projectile Speed on Sniper Rifles
Can someone from Dice or whoever decided to nerf the projectile speed of the PSR (Precision sniper rifle) please tell me to what benefit that is to game play. In game it says the projectile speed is 850m/s for the PSR. Which is obviously not true. I don't think the folks who decided to nerf the projectile speed have even a tiny bit of knowledge about actually how fast a bullet leaving the barrel of any modern high powered bottleneck cartridge rifle is. Fact: At 850m/s a target at 972m the TOF (time of flight) is 1.65 sec. But since the new update it takes the bullet 3.55 sec.! Which equates to the bullet leaving the barrel at 320m/s. And that is not even close to reality. Even before the last update that same shot still took 2.44 sec. Which equates to the bullet leaving the barrel at 518m/s. Which is still not real. However, it was somewhat still useable if the target did not move. But since the last update anything over a 500m shot is luck of the draw. I've done extensive testing to demonstrate just how pitiful the nerfing of the sniper rifle bullet speed actually is. Here is a link to my YT channel demonstrating this very thing showing what it now looks like. What it did look like before the latest update. And showing how it would look if the bullet speed in game was actually 850m/s. Would any of the creators care to explain to me how this is supposed to benefit the game play.
