I give up, i can go a round with 30 and 10 or 20 and 1 but its taking too long and those gay ass arty attacks are just frusterating

meh, just snipe somewhere you can see the enemy arty. i get a warm & fuzzy feeling when i see the enemy arty turn my direction and launch a barrage. usually the commander wastes it as i see it and run out of the area.

treat every arty firing you hear as if its coming for you..
cos 90% of the time.. if you're doing a good job.. then it IS for you...
either that or my kits all have electromagnets in the backpacks.. to attract 120mm Artillery Shells..

I don't seem to get as many arty's when I am sniping like other folks. Guess I am lucky or something.
im a fucking arty magnet.... u can have 10 ppl sniping from the same spot for half the map, then as soon as i show up. BOOM theres the arty
In case you guys don't know you can hear when arty is airborne if it will land on you, the whistle is much more pronounced, you can also see the trajectory of the shells when they are airborne.
2 KD with a sniper rifle is EASY as long as you know how to headshot. Make sure you have a good hide as well, so you can go unnoticed for longer periods of time. If you into the heat of battle which a sniper shouldn't do, despite what Nyte thinks, you will die more, its simple. When you die make sure to have your pistol out instead of your rifle too.
What your definition of what an effective sniper is may vary, but SR KD ratio is probably one of the biggest factors of effectiveness I believe.

STOKOE YOU SUCK! HAHAHAHA
We had a laugh though, we were all on vent. Sucked though, coulda gotten 40 kills without dieing easily that round,
thanks man but i'm not trying to get "better" than Nyte, I just want a good sniper reputation. I'm just so far away and there's some rounds where i kick ass but then Karma comes back and then i get owned, not by alot, but enough to make my K journey more frusterating. I've been playinng Wake Krackhouse alot as sniper and its sorta been working. I brough myself up from 1.53 to 1.59 in about a week but that's not enough. Tahadar has an amazing ratio but i'd settle to be like dont_hit_ss where i'm good enough on stats and amazing on the field.stryyker wrote:

At the risk of sounding immodest, I'll just say that I . . . umm . . . have a "pretty good" kill-to-death ratio as a sniper, both with the kit and with the sniper rifle . And I well understand your frustration--artillery has accounted for more than 80% of my deaths when the rifle was in my hands. The only thing I can tell you with regard to getting your ratio up is to develop a disciplined routine that you follow religiously as you approach and when you get to your hide/nest --note paths of access to-and-egress-from your desired location, plan a safe route of escape should you draw fire or should someone come up on you, scan the areas that you're most vulnerable to, check all points you would go to if you were a sniper, etc. Only after you've done all of this do you set claymores, and set them far enough apart that you allow yourself some room to shift location slightly and still be protected by the mines. Once this is completed, you're ready to start scanning for targets. I won't dictate how you should hunt from that point on--you'll find the style that works best for you--but the moment you hear a round stike near you, move as fast as possible to hard cover or a position of secure concealment. Too often novice snipers start to take fire and then look frantically for where it's coming from. That's usually a death sentence; your opponent knows exactly where you are and you haven't a clue where he/she is. While you're trying to find the location of the hostile fire, your opponent has reloaded and is carefully preparing to explode your head like a melon. Your goal should be to reach security and then stealthily relocate to a position where you can scan the field with relative safety.
Regarding artillery, I might suggest getting a watch/clock/timer. Artillery has a default recycle time of 60 seconds; if you live through an arty strike, you need to be relocating about 50 seconds later. Chances are that the enemy commander will try to hit you again, and by moving 50 seconds after the first arty strike, there's a very good possibility that you'll make him waste the salvo. Move before the 50 seconds have transpired and the commander will simply re-acquire you with a scan and hit you at your new location. I have a digital timer that I keep beside my keyboard, and as [GDC]SinnFein and ROlyPOly can attest, it's saved us on numerous occasions. This approach isn't foolproof, but it can help reduce your overall number of deaths to artillery.
Good luck.

ooh! add me to the list! lol i remember the day when i was sniping with this triumverate on Kubra and the enemy commander spent just about every artillery barrage to nail our sniping squad. i think he got me twice or thrice but Books, sinny and roly managed to evade it nearly every time..Books_DCDF wrote:

p.s i avoid arty by staying well away from the action, im usually between 300-400m away from a flag but you need a good view of the spawnpoints. i used to get nailed by the arty but it only happens now when im on arty island but i usually get enough kills from there to not screw up my k/d ratio for the rest of the round.
hi chillin, i dont know why i kill you after just luck nice shootout today lasted half of the round, lol.
