I was doing some testing in the editor and both thease guns and they feel rather weak against light vehicles.It takes almost a whole mag to blow up a jeep and 4-5 shots for a car,even when firing straight at the bonet from 20 yards...:eek:..I was just after some feedback and other peoples thoughts, maybe we should be able to switch to the explosive round? And take consideration we have have to leave the AT-AA in the armoury when using thease rifles, they are also limited on ammo compared to other sniper rifles.

Im just playing some coop hoping more PvP servers will appear when the game is released in the US:butbut:.I really hate bottle necked PvP games such as hold,where your forced to play a certain area of the map,it just becomes a huge lag infested spawn camp..Whatever happened to good old TDM with random spawn at two bases:(

This sounds great it's vision I had of Arma 2 before playing it.I would love to see some team deathmatch maps using the entire map with two huge bases with vehicles equipment ect...maybe a bit too hardcore for most though

The tosh on Delta Force guys is top class we need them in Arma!

What a great game it also had scope adjustment and wind direction to take into consideration before firing. ---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ---------- The grass is great for hiding not so good for shooting...go prone in the middle of an area of grass tell me what you can see in your scope grass!.Being able to prone in grass and move away would benefit every class.If your a medic you need as much cover a possible when trying to get to a downed man who has just been shot,the chances are the medic will be next in the firing line unless he uses a smoke,or finds some other form of cover to get to him. ---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ---------- People also forget that it can take upto 20 mins for a sniper to get into position,if he gets passed the spray weapons first time.Sometimes in a match you do alot of running and dying,other times you take up a good position and punish the other side.There is a number of ways to make snipers ineffective,team work being the best which you find is missing on most the PvP servers.

Personally I thought the full game patched up played better than the demo.

I Carn't wait for the US to get the game....hopefully then we may have more PvP servers.I thought you guys were getting it on the 7th?

LoL I don't know what you want me to do mate it's there in black & white.I don't claim to of fired one...It's just info from the web about what it's used for, your question about explossives is irrelevant to the topic.

1)I never said what they was I only gave the title of the video so it could be found on google. 2)"The round combines armor-piercing, explosive, and incendiary effects and uses a highly effective pyrotechnically initiated fuze that delays detonation of the main projectile charge until after initial target penetration-moving projectile fragmentation and damage effect inside the target for maximum anti-personnel and fire start effect. While the round can be used in sniper rifles similar to the Barrett M82A1/XM107, it has the equivalent firing power of a 20 mm projectile to include such targets as helicopters, aircraft, light armour vehicles, ships and light fortifications, and can ignite JP4 and JP8 military jet fuel." http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/mk211.htm 3)Go back under your rock:D

Yeah but thease rifles claim to be anti light vehicle/armour

Dude a UAZ is not a light armoured vehicle..it has as much armour as my Ford Transit van... ---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ---------- heh yeah if you want see some power check out google .50 cal sniper v taliban(it's too graphic to post)

Yeah I agree... but even after two mags fired into the bonnet you could still drive the UAZ perfectly, although the hit points had dropped to 50%.Im not really saying the game engine should be changed or anything like that, Im just saying that thease rifles should be more effective against light armour. Im not in the forces or anything im just a mere gamer reading info on the web about the rifles and thier effects on light armour.This thread is more about why take the M108 over a normal sniper rifle,when with a normal sniper rifle you can also carry AT/AA weapons.

While I cannot proove the video's or wiki links are true,I bought alot more to the table than you to backup my claims.It's a well know fact that the M107 is an anti-vehicle sniper rifle and it doesnt feel like it in game....end of story really. ---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ---------- Your lucky if it even breaks the glass on the window.. ---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ---------- Im not sure what trainer you use but I filmed me doing your test in the editor...guess what 2 mags and nothing :)

Here is a few videos of mine. Multiplayer AI/single

Basically there are features missing that was in the Novalogics Delta Force series which never even had 3dfx in 1998.If you read most of the posts on realism,you will see that post people are asking for small tweaks not an overhaul of the game engine.

Im alittle disappointed but the problem is there is so little choice and Arma is about the best of the bunch...The grass is the biggest problem for me right now and the fact that the AI can see through it.

The game states there anti-materiel sniper rifles look it up on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-materiel_rifle:) and they have the same effect as all other sniper rifles in the game after 2 or 3 hits on a vehicle it will stop.My real point here is what the points of even using them if you can have a normal sniper rifle and an AT/AA strapped to your back and about 6 more rounds of ammo... oh and the recoil is 10 times worse. People keep saying this game is a sim blah..blah..blah how many many snipers in ghillie suits have AA & AT weapons with them,why not just give them the right rounds for the anti-materiel rifles and let them have more of an effect on light vehicles. Just about every site on the net claims the can disable vehicles, aircrafts, and even radar/communications equipment... but believe what you want to believe my friend:cool:.Did you even watch the Iraq video I linked with the explosive round?,I think that's more than enough to take out a jeep if it was fired at the bonnet.

This is a good video of the M107 vs a vehicle and this is without the exploding rounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Toko3JDEQ&annotation_id=annotation_187125&feature=iv and a shot from Iraq And wiki on the explosive ammo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raufoss_Mk_211 I think its far to say with the commonly used mk211 round it would easily blow up a jeep or car:) and with a placed shot with a normal .50 cal bullet it should still do the job ---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ---------- If you shoot explosive rounds into a chopper like I showed in the video its only going to end up in one place my friend.If you check the M107 under Wiki all will become clear it's main targets are aircrafts and light vehicles.

The Para servers i find to be the best,the more Para guys on the better!

We need more servers to host veteran games, im all for some team killing aslong as it was a mistake.The best games I have played online have been Veteran games the AI really pins you down.

Yeah I have noticed alot of people geting automatically kicked on alot of the servers with that Mod.Im sure most people will run it soon but it will just take a while for people to catch up.

Here is a link to my video im very happy with the old 8800GT on Arma 2
