About ballistics and the so called "bullet drop"

#1

I read everywhere people complaining that the sniper rifles have no bullet drop and are instant impact and that isn’t “real”.

Well, I got news for you… The maps on this game aren’t big enough for any real bullet drop. Biggest map is Backwater and is roughly around 500 meters from the two furthest points. That’s about 550 yards.

At 400 yards, bullet drop is about 2 feet. That is still a body shot to a 7 feet tall target. Bullet also lands on the target in less than half a second. That is real data.

Here’s the source so you can all make accurate analysis.

and keep in mind, I have a profound dislike about sniping and camping and absolutely hate it when someone on my team only does that.

At this point what help the most is an actual decent framerate and better server optimization on both ends that would prevent most of the problems related to guns and Predator weapons.

Agree. Performance issues on both platforms are hell and that should be the developers priority above anything else. They don’t seem to care though because these complains have been there since the beta was released. Also the source of so many bad reviews for the game.

Well they had to iron out the game breaking bugs first it seems, but what also is game breaking is the framerate I hope the next patch adresses it, if the framerate was stable most of peoples problems with the game would diminish and all that would be left is balance and other issues but balance and that takes time so I cant expect that right now . If they are adding a multi pred mode this patch I hope they add an optimization patch with it as well which they most likely will otherwise framerate will take more on the new game mode.

I just said scope sway. Tired of easily shooting preds jumping around. Ps4 players cant aim like pc so i see why it is this way

I dunno if that’s gonna get rid of complains. Some of the snipers on our team run red dots and still land most of their shots.

I run holo and 6x. Depends on map… but ak is just so damn good
