Re: Choose the AU's sniper !

Re: Choose the AU's sniper !
Keep it bolt action. A semi-auto sniper with the same damage as the snipers' rounds will be stupid. It can be argued that deviation will make firing semi impractical, but in that case what is the point of having it semi-automatic anyway.
Research it and have whatever bolt-action is most plentiful in African inventories, as opposed to weapons suggested via movies. |

Re: Choose the AU's sniper !
The suggestion was based upon it already being on the same contenant and also the FAL already going to be in the arsenal, so the model to base it off is already there and of a standard that is acceptable.
Pictures from a film were used because there doesn't seem to be many of the R1 going around. SADF units have apparently used the the SSG 69 if you want to use the same as another faction though and apply the same points as above. But I feel it would 'look' abit too modern for this faction. Quote:

Re: Choose the AU's sniper !
we might want to find out first if african nations have, and make use of special sniperunits.
svd's seem to be issued in pretty large numbers overall whereas it's hard to find a decent pic of a guy with a sniper rifle serving in an african country. the (possible, mind you!) removal of a sniper class(again, if that's even possible due to pr's kit requestsystem) could lead to an even more assymetrical element in pr |

Re: Choose the AU's sniper !
Ooh, R1 would be nice. Keep the Nagant for the Militia. Makes more sense than a Lee Enfield.

Re: Choose the AU's sniper !
The South. Af. R1 looks fine for a marksman kit, but not for a sniper I think.

Re: Choose the AU's sniper !
The M14 and Dragunov which are both in-game, don't do the same damage as the snipers from what I recall.
My point is a semi-automatic, scoped rifle that does one shot body kills at extreme range is unproductive for balanced gameplay |
