Sniping

When sniping, one should be able to kill an enemy when shooting him in the chest at 150m and less.  Over 150m, a one shot kill should only be rewarded by a head shot.  I have found it increasingly frustrating that when shooting an enemy who is less than 15m away in the upper chest cavity region, he takes approximately 75 damage and can kill me in 3-4 shots with an ordinary rifle as I chamber my next round.  Other than this fault that I hope gets fixed, the game is superb. 

  • @InvisiblePony Hey, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the mechanic, but this is intended, to encourage folks to use sniper weapons at their optimal "sweet spot" range. It's not really realistic, but I assume it was put in place to dissuade certain tactics, and to give close-range fighters a better chance once they close the distance with enemy scouts. 

    If you're unfamiliar with it, JackFrags has a video on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdCTkibt_zE

    I know there's been some varied feedback on sweet spots, thanks for the post.

    I would like to thank you for replying to my post and for attaching the YouTube link for the JackFrags video.  I found it very interesting and helpful and I will be implementing these tactics soon!
