BF2S Forums Bulletdrop-chart

Great find, would be even more usefull if we knew which weapon it was.

+1 for you.

Nope,in the end it's just a feeling you get over the hours of gameplay...but the chart helps to learn it.

cool u just have to get use to it and then it'll come naturally

but i have like a natural instinct but i'll think about it

I'm not sure to which rifle it applies and I only use it as a quick overview,but it should give somebody who always misjudges the bulletdrop a general idea of where to aim at....

but it shouldn't be metres it should be pixels

nice 1 very helpfull..

1 + for you

TBH, these calculations aren't fully accurate. Bullet-drop depends on how high or low the ground level is of which the enemy you're shooting at is on.

The higher the enemy is above you, the more bullet-drop will become a matter and the lower the enemy is below you, the less bullet-drop will become a matter.

Battlefeilds measuring system uses metres.

Since were talking about bullet drop, I was wondering what the numbers and lines on the M95 scope mean.

Those are stand off lines for bullet drop based on the real life rifle.  They are in hundreds of meters.

Hehehe.  To hell with calculations.  Assuming this chart is correct (it does seem accurate, but I've now just about got it to "feel"), here is a layman's version:

50m-100m:  Shoot at the head, or the top of the target's head.
150m:  Shoot about forehead length above the target's head.
200m:  Shoot about a head length above the target's head.
250m:  Shoot about a head and a half length above the target's head.
300m-350m:  Shoot about two heads above the target's head.
400m:  Shoot about two and a half heads above the target's head.
450m:  Shoot about half a body's height above the target's head.
500m:  Shoot about 2/3 of a body's height above the target's head.
550m-600m:  Shoot about a body's height above the target's head.

This is an "about" or "estimate" by using the chart, mind you.  Maybe someone can make sure I've got the estimates right, and maybe some of the long distance enthusiasts can verify those estimates.

Now, mind you, most snipers in the game aren't gonna use anything past 250m on most maps, and only a rarely will you see anybody making shots past 300m+.  This is especially true on many maps that have lower "fog" distances.  It's a rare thing to see an infantry target 450m, even on maps like Wake (even with high graphics settings), and just about, if not, impossible at 500m+.  In fact, at 450m+ distances, you're probably relying upon UAV/SAT info, or have a commander's eye view of the infantry target at this range, and you're shooting by where that target is from where it is sitting from a larger, more visible target (like the artillery guns on Wake's Arty Island).

LOL.  Somehow, I doubt you're one of those snipers that needs to rely upon the chart, and you probably have a "feel" for where to shoot.

Is there any way you can relate this chart to the dashes on the sniper scope?  i.e. - at 300m what dash should I use on the scope to compensate for bullet drop?  That'd be nifty.

I would say no.  Most targets at long distances don't even fill the scope up enough to fill pass the first dash/mil dot on any of the rifles.  The reticles in Bf2 are more reliable as aesthetics, IMO.

lol, Pixels? Can you imagine snipers counting how many pixels away the enemy was?

Speaking of distance...... 

I saw a video interview with a guy from DICE recently and he mentioned that some of the kits in 2142 would have rangefinders.  One possible use he mentioned was that, say, if you had a grenade launcher equipped you could acquire range on a target (like a guy behind a berm) and then set the nade to explode at that particular range.  This way you could shoot the nade above him somewhat and that the nade would explode as it passed through his range.

Not sure I like this.  THe way it is now, your nade would likely explode farther behind him.  This new way, it would be exploding the moment it passed over his head (no matter what trajectory it was on).

What do ya think of this?
