Ive fallen in love with that headshot machine

Its nice curves, sharp crosshair and sexy semi-auto. Screams like a bitch and a headshot each time it does.
Even the reload animation is by far the best of all the snipers

Wont waste too much words on it, leaves more time for making love/frags to/with it.

I love the SVD, i pick it over any of the unlocks, but thats only when im not USMC. Works better than a pistol for me. Just love how you can drop someone and get 4 shots off in less than a second.

The bolt actions are the best...

Okay, I lied. The M95 isn't a LOT of the time (can be useful in some rare situations - M24 and L96A1 for myself. I'd even use a Type88 or SVD over the M95).

Well, at least you recognise the M95 as the worst sniper.. but the beauty of the semi-autos is that you dont need to wait between shots.. and the accuracy is only slightly worse (deal with it, 1/20 shots will go next to your crosshair)

Up close its like a beefed up pistol with a scope
Use it. Love it.

Hate the SVD. I'd love it if the Type 88 were available as an option though, that would be great to pick sometimes... Type 88 + city map = coolness, I'd bet.

If I'm on any side where the SVD is the default sniper rifle I'll pick the M95, begrudgingly; and actually the power can be useful if you're accustomed to the rifle/pistol combo, as even support and assault players will fall to a single pistol bullet if you can get it off in time. But in one's primary role, counter-sniper, the M24 users have a distinct edge and you feel it sometimes if the player knows what he's doing.

With an accuracy of 48% you might want to revise that total downwards just a scosh

SVD is only good cuz it's semi auto. M24, M95, and the L96 all beat it.

You mean you hate the SVD's scope. I admit the Type 88 has a better scope, but the chinese maps suck for using a semi auto. On a big map, you need a large zoom factor and good accuracy. But the SVD is available on city maps, where it gives you an advantage over bolt action.

The time between shooting someone with a bolt action, and switching to your pistol is almost as big as taking two shots with the sniper. So i dont see how bolt action beats semi-auto here. The SVD even has fine accuracy (about 1/20 shots are off target) so i dont see any problems their either.

Sigh. You underestimate semi-auto.

The only reason bolt action could be better is accuracy on large maps and availability.

Agreed. A PLA/USMC city map would have been great. Dalian Plant and Daqing Oilfield can give something like it but it's not quite the same.

Any advantage is with the individual, as I said in another thread: me > all the snipers using SVDs.

The SVD is fine if you're good with it (get headshots regularly on targets at longer ranges is what I mean by good here) but unless the user can compensate for the recoil it's not as efficient a killing machine. I can't tell you the number of times on Warlord that I've been pegged by an enemy sniper's first shot using the SVD, at maybe 70m and up to the limit of visibility, and I've either gotten away or actually killed the other sniper.

That's true. But if you can pop off a couple/three pistol shots and hit him with one he's dead. With the SVD if you can't get the enemy sniper in the head then you have to hit him twice more.

In the same situation against another class (spec ops for example, who may be using his zipline to get to similar vantage points on rooftops) then yeah, it's likely the sniper is going to come out on top. But against a decent sniper wielding the M95 or M24... not so much.

Yep, on paper it's exactly as accurate as the M95 and Type 88. But the scope is hard to get used to.

That's why there are few real masters of the SVD (thankfully) that one has to contend with, and I've never encountered one in the last hundreds of hours of sniping that I can recall, except for one or two aimbot users.

I've encountered very few snipers who can efficiently use the SVD. Personally I find that it works best as a scavenging rifle meaning that you look for the nearest firefight, and pick off the guys as they look for med packs and get revived. it does not work well in an anti sniper situation. the extended accuracy and range of the 24 and 96 render the semi autos useless. they work best in the game as they do in real life, as a squad marksman weapon, not a designated sniper weapon.

svd is not bad, but the L9 imo kicks the shit out of the svd.
personally i think if u master the L9, u could own more with it than the svd...
sniper is my fav kit so i think i would know what im on about. besides, if u stay still with an SVD and shoot 10 shots at target, and im the enemy on the other side, ur dead meat... fi u stand still for more than a sec, u would be dead... this is y i like the L9. it basically forces u to take cover or move around as u load for the next shot. in this time u can also see where the next target is. (so u spend a split second standing still for ur shot, then ur off, making u hard to get headshot by other snipers, or in general, any1)

iv'e also found that when i use the svd, i much more go for body shots, cause i think to myself that the first shot doesnt really matter, as i have heaps more the come. L9 also owns over long range compared to the SVD. and i presonally like it close range as well (prolly not as good as the svd at close) but since when is a sniper supposed to be close range?!?!?! :p

the type 88 and svd are good but only in an urban environment, for long range kills in open area it gotta be the m24/l96

Ok. Thats a little bit too much.
Good snipers usually use bolt action ones to begin with anyway. People who have bad aiming for the HS usually goes for semi-auto to cover for their lack of first shot accuracy.

You obviously shoot pretty close judging from your comment above. Of course semi-auto is usful in occasions when you want to go into action in solo fashion where you have to defend yourself up close. I also agree that it has decent accuracy in CITY maps. However, accuracy is NOT FINE when used in longer ranges other than city maps.

iPoon.be wrote:

I completely agree with you on that. Its much more efficient to kill someone up close with SVD (or Type 88 in that manner) than pulling out your pathetic 9mm side arm (why can't these soldiers use .45 like SOCOMs).

I agree.
However, I just love the way the scope of SVD looks like. Also if the scope was made using single arrow and a straight vertical line, instead of three arrow with vertical line way down there, it would be easier actually to aim.
