noxnoctum Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Do the scoped riflemen that are in some of the standard infantry squads in CMFI/CMBN (usually the team leader) have real advantages versus their standard rifle comrades in terms of accuracy or anything like that? Has anyone done testing on this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 This was tested out long ago. I don't recall the particulars, though. It does seem that if allowed to self-target a marksman will dispatch priority targets like heavy weapons crews and officers at a higher rate than regular infantry. I can't say that I see much of a difference with close-in battles where you're issuing the orders. The hit rate might be better, but at close range it would just go from high probability to slightly higher probability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG TOW Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Does the sniper rifle have better accuracy and range stats from a non scoped model? I thought that was where the marksmen advantage was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IME, the "squad marksman" or the "sniper" in one of the misnamed sniper teams (they're just the company's best shot given a scoped rifle, not Sniper-School-trained snake eaters) can be, if you'll pardon the pun, a bit hit and miss. Sometimes a Regular one will scratch out entire heavy weapons teams at 800m. Other times elite teams get spotted at 1200m in bocage and popped by DF mortars before they've scored any kills at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has been misnamed here. It's the guys with scoped rifles within a squad that are squad marksmen.
