Increase Sniper Rifle Accuracy

10+ seconds seem to be an aweful longgg time to get the 'perfect' shot. I personally don't have any problems w/the sniper rifles in game. I NEVER have a problem w/the M24; I kill 9/10 shots with that scope. The SVD & the Type95 is only about 4/10 (for 1 shot 1 kills - 6/10 for 'hits'). That seems pretty fair with me because the M24 is a precision rifle with superior optics. It's also bolt action which minimizes recoil unlike the autoloading SVD and Type95.

Sniping in PRMM is fairly hard; some people argue it's easy but it takes patience to line up a good shot. I take around 3-5 seconds to line up my M24 scope and I will almost, always get a kill. The SVD and 95' have much more deviation so I aim it on my victim's neck, to allow deviation and still hopefully land either a head or a chest shot case my bullets miss.

The key to PRMM's sniping is the fact that you have to be more patient. Shooting at a moving target (unless you're -175m away, or he is moving towards/away from you) is a waste. It's when you 'track' your target with your scope a long distance that I feel like the sniper rifle's deviation increases. So just be patient, your target will get to the frontlines soon enough and he will stop in cover and check things out. When he settles like that, you have your 3-5 seconds to take that shot.

Then.. stop shooting. Make your shots count: You have limited ammo that runs out very fast & the sniper rifles in the game is VERY loud so take care that no one figures out what side your coming from. ONLY SHOOT when you know you are going to make that kill.

They're fine for now. But I do agree the SVD and 95 can use some tweaking because their deviation is almost similar to the M16/AK47. Those rifles should never be as accurate as the M24 but definately should be more accurate than assault rifles. I feel like it should be about 60% halfway between the accuracy of the M16 and the accuracy of the M24 feels like a good fit.
