Hey im starting to wonder about the accuracy calculation and wanted to see if there's any decent snipers out there with over 1000 kills with a sniper rifle and sniper rifle accuracy of above 60% It alwasy seems like everyone decent is around 50% and Im wondering if its only counting the shot that kills since it so often takes us 2 shots to kill.

And on that note if you really are a decent sniper and have high accuracy for your rifle what do you prefer m24 or m95?

Please real sniper players only i hate when i see sniper advise from people who stats show they've never picked up the rifle.

Mine is innacurate by your standards because i shoot the helos alot, and about 25 percent of the time I shoot one down.


I say go with m24, from my experience, it is better for quick shots, and it has a better crosshair.

You shoot helos alot? then you don't use the m24 often? do you miss the helos often? i find it very easy to get those yellow hit indicators but i don't think those really count as hits in accuracy countings

I used to swear by the M95 and had a steadily climbing accuracy of around 41%. Now after switching to the M24, my accuracy is climbing all the time - after two uses up to nearly 44%. I hope to be one of the better Snipers out there.

I've seen one Sniper with an accuracy over 60%, however I reckon he spent his days shooting transport choppers, as he had a poor kill:death ratio.

ya i still dont know if that counts for accuracy points though. I guess the only way to know for sure is to start a new account and only shoot veicles and see what my accuracy is

I shoot the helo when it is fucking smoking dumbass.

Plus I shoot out passengers too, You are able to get gunners out with an m24, I have done it before.




I dont miss helo at all, I meant I get a kill every like one of 4 shots, since the helos are moving.

then your accuracy should be higher shouldnt it? im trying to figure out how its calculates if its kills or hits from your stats it looks like kills cuz you said you dont miss them often  ( which i believe its not hard to hit a helo its hard to kill though)

My sniper stats arent stellar but they are decent. I dont have an opinion on your accuracy question but I do perfer, as most do, the m24 over the m95. The m95 is still a great gun, but Ill take the better accuracy and thiner crosshairs over the armor/glass piercing.

60+ with over 1000? there's a couple...but 80% with over 1000, none.

I use to have like 65% accuracy when I had 200 something kills. but ever since I started using the M95, my accuracy has dropped. :cry:
It's really the game's fault. you aim right at their head and it misses. Can't wait til they fix the accuracy in the patch.

If you think about, even hitting once every two shots fired (50%), especially if you are firing at moving targets, or making quick snap shots, is still pretty impressive.

47.11%... and I've been playing with my friend lately (I typically do worse as a sniper when I do, since it's a lot easier to get spotted when he spawns around me all the time, hehe).

Yeah. 50% is about right. Sometimes people change directions, dive, etc. And sometimes you're just goofing off. I mean, even goofing off a bit will kill your accuracy if matched with the exact same amount of time played seriously, headshotting every shot. It's just mathematical truth.

Meh, I really don't look at my stats too much. So long as I'm enjoying myself. And putting bullets inbetween people's eyes... well hey, I'm enjoying myself.

Steadily increasing K/D ratio and accuracy at the moment. I love my M24, and cannot wait to try out the L96 in 1.2, have an unlock saved for it incase i can't get it straight out lol.

Lets see. I can have 100% sniper accruacy if I shoot still targets and clear targets, but I shoot difficult targets including sprinting horiontal. Most of the time I hit them the 2nd shot. Don't forget the server lag

I think im a shade over 52% at the moment, anyone over that must be very very frightening to come up agains in a game. I did start a new account for a couple of hours but it only improved my figures to around 60% and i suspect it would have just dropped over time untill it hit the 52% level anyway. I think im limited to around 50% because i take alot of risky shots for peoples heads, if i miss more than 2x hell they deseve to live

45% Acc here, but only 665 kills - probably over 50% by the time I reach 1000 kills.

I like both the M95 and M24 - best thing about the M95 is that if someone gets into a chopper or heli you can kill them before they even take off!!!

i use M95 in City maps
Reason : a lot of transport vehicules that are rollin around, so i can shoot the driver out of it, and at close range the chance to get a 1 hit kill is bigger.

M24 i use when in open maps, like Kubra, Fushe, Dragon, Zatar, etc etc
that just pure for accuracy of the gun.

PLA and MEC sniper : mostly i choose the M95 but in city maps i can go for the Semi auto as well

I enjoy sniping the most by far, that bein said, I may have good #'s but I'm far from the best in the game.

GDC]Shinfayne-Sniper Rifles   02:44:36      150      10      15.00      56.18%

[GDC]SinnFein-Sniper rifles    384:12:16      13,022   4,904  2.66      46.74%

In the beginning your %'s will just keep climbing with experience and memory target locations.

After a long time snipin'...Time with rifle + (the eventual desire to make THAT shot) = decreased accuracies.

Not so much, I mean aren't all of our % climbing with each day. Honestly about 2 months ago I had ~52%, until I started my love for Kubra dam..yas want to talk about some distance? That map has slowed down my drive for #1, but I don't even toss about it. The 290m-412m 'THAT' head shot will put a right smile on yer face. There's a learning curve tobesure for the 'BIG drop's' even with the m24 sometimes 2cm's above em'

I'm definately becomming a distance junky trying to push the envelope on headshots. Thankfully I'm back to almost snapshoting 300m shots all day, so Acc% just started its way out of the pub.

Tip: Be a snipe, a true A T &T man; get a partner, get on ventrillo/comms, start a squad 2 of yas. My dear friend, Books_DCDF and I can be found snipe whoring Kubra's every night  ~ mid-230amEST usa.
