When you are doing a sniper squad, make sure to not skyline ie not go directly on top of the mountain. People think it's the best advantage, but if you go down a little bit they will have a harder time finding you
Another one I see often is: When you want to shoot out of portholes, ie. windows, doors, gaps, be sure to sit back in the shadows. Don't poke your rifle through the window, I guarantee you will stay alive much longer.
The best firing positions are when you've got bushes hiding your muzzle flash from everywhere but the target. Being 20m deep into the treeline limits your field of view, but makes it 10x harder for the enemy to spot you without the muzzle flash
@@ThunderBatRED That is a little difficult to do unless you've got a good team feeding you enemy movements. I prefer a compromise between your approach and the run-and-gun approach where you find a decent place to perch up but you plan to move after a few shots.
I took the Barret on Narva last weekend, Russian team on invasion, so during staging I get on the tallest building at our second cap (shipping yard). When the round started I could see them in main and just watched until they were engaged by our armour. 600 meters and in I missed only 3 times. Highlight was when I dumped a mag into a btr or brdm that just wouldn't die, popping smoke, trying to flee, and I ammo racked it. Was hitting 600 meter shots from the roof before they sent 6 of their guys up the 12 stories to the roof. I and this one dude up there with an Sr 25 were a menace, was what convinced me modded squad is the best way to play the game.
@@rmk_1 1. What mods? 2. For what reasons? I'm looking to get into the game at some point, sort of weighing my options at the moment, as I don't want to spend money on a game whose steep learning curve will cause me to have to put in excess time to find out whether or not I truly find it fun, barring me from getting any sort of refund.
that camo net system he deployed is called a Snipers Nest. You would employ that and some IPK, you would then Dig in and make yourself an Aperture for the Barrel and the sight, and then fill the rest with Natural Cam to further blend it in. The sight Aperture would be the Size of a Pin-dot to remove any chance of Sight glint. the longest i spent in a Nest was 18 hours straight.
It’s probably just a personal preference thing, but when Slorgs held T to open radial menu and then mark. I almost died. I vomited all over myself, got a splitting headache, and peed rat poison. Binding a single mark to middle mouse is a must.
25:10 Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because you were already dead.
you had what looked like APIT rounds for the M82A1. Which means they gave you ammunition for hunting and countering vehicles. The Barret can be used as a precision rifle, but it is not its primary focus, it's meant for denying cover and disabling vehicles. I've used the mod that weapon comes from, it does indeed take people out through one or two shots to the window of most MRAP-type vehicles, it will do good engine damage to logi's
Just because the Barrett is MEANT for vehicles doesn’t mean it HAS to be used only on vehicles. Besides, a Barrett is very similar to a hammer in the sense of every problem starts to look like a target.
@@decimation9780 Dude, I'm just stating its original purpose. It's not a precision weapon, which they have .50 cal dedicated to be a precision weapon. Realistically they would be used a stationary weapon for LP/OP or disassembled and then assembled on their location of need. Remember this weapon is clunky. It's designed to be fired in a decent rhythm and has been made robust to facilitate semi-auto fire. It's largely impractical as a precision weapon. It is what it is dude.
I like watching you and your buddy actually have a sniper / marksman and having a spotter, most people never have a spotter, you just have one guy with a sniper shooting at people and not having accurate shots so it’s nice to hear your coms and have a spotter with you as well
Sniper is a role in so many shooters that is rarely played properly. It’s not just to pick off as many enemies as you can, it’s relaying important information on positions, emplacements, FOB’s, infantry, armor, etc. While it is difficult to do, especially in SQUAD, this doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It requires a lot of map knowledge.
As a SL who kicks any marksmen I have two things to say. Dedicated Squads for marksmen are amazing and much better than the current system... And I do not regret kicking you "snipers" :)
Use him as a forward observer.. had some crazy games with snipers used as observers and to hold points. Sniper and mger nearby keep people down and take out habs and drain their tickets
I don’t know much about squad the game but you could make it work with an infantry squad. Model it after a weapons squad, just have the other squad mates play as local security and a sbf if necessary for the larger force
This should be in the main game! No snipers except for 2 man teams with FTL! Still have marksman role but one shot snipers should be 1 or MAX 2 per team
This is an improvement, but they could do more. There's no wind effects. There's also no bullet trace. A spotter in the right position should be able to see the bullet wake to help make accurate corrections.
i cant help but feel that two guys with precision rifles is better than one guy shooting and another guy who doesnt even tell you if you hit/missed low or high etc just watching
Likely because it's some of the least engaging stuff to go against, one of the reasons people are so fast to kick snipers in regular games is just that, getting one-tapped from 300 meters away by a bush sucks and they'd rather not have the other players suffer it. At least with an lmg guy i get suppressed and can at least try to engage before my head pops..
@@colossusqw3632Snipers were heavily featured in Project Reality… I just think they’re a neat way to add both more weapon and gameplay variety to the game. Plus, it’s not like tons of people can spawn with the kit, it’s literally 1/50 players!
Whoever is interested in forming a tactical squad unit to play together, drop a comment bellow. I am into stealthy missions (very good at it), tactical assaults, and superfobs.
Lower your DPI on your mouse or just game sens. I play on 600 DPI and .50 in game sens but some find that too low. Just depends on how much you want to pickup and move your mouse and your play area for said mouse. Also x6 also applies to most sniper scopes, same as the bino sens. Weird that they dont have it separate but make sure you turn it down when you snipe if you turned up the sens for binos.
pro tip for sniping i learned this from grandpa gaming when you are setting up make sure you have somthing behind you so you dont stick out on a hill have like a hesco wall or a tree
Prioritize clarity in scope, it's a check box in the graphics settings, I think default is set to prioritize AA which looks like literal dog shit and I have no idea why it's even an option in the game
@evulclown And yet it still worked for him plus you can choose not to move as a Sniper if no one can find you or if they have a small chance of doing so and this obviously isn't your regular sandbox type of game you can see how big it is so it's understandable but you can't do that in all situations plus it's just a game you're taking it too seriously not everyone is worried about every little thing and if they are that's cool too but if their is no fun involved and it's only focusing on every little thing then that's just miserable.
You kept missing those shots that you aimed dead on bc you had the rifle range set to 300 and it was that far away over shot because of that always adjust
everything is better than Vanilla... OWI is slacking for real content.... Also yall are plebs why not lock the squad before creating the squad when choosing the name???
Game looks good but it actually sucks when you get in to play it. Sit in server and que lobbies for years play in seed lobbies for years ive been on for HOURS and still havent loaded into an actual match what a flaming pile of garbage
Please for the love of god and all that is holy in the world learn the difference between in game sensitivity and mouse DPI, I feel like I am losing my mind watching you look around and aim.

Exactly. It's much easier to identify a person-shaped silhouette against the sky than it is to spot one against dirt and rocks.

Yeah that's what I've heard about vanilla specifically. Probably should've figured mods wouldn't change that.
Thanks for the advice, anyhow!
Isn't supression nerfed in most mods? If it wasn't for that and performance issues I'd agree that modded is better than vanilla
