Webwing Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 - Does anyone know the range of the sniper rifles in TOW? Specially the Russian ones. How does the Mosin compares to the SVT 40? EDIT: Stupid question, sorry! rus_sniper.jpg [ May 13, 2007, 08:06 AM: Message edited by: Webwing ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikoyanPT Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Basicaly, they can shoot anything the shooter sees , i guess.Great range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsobill Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 my sniper mosin 1942 tula can hit targets up to 300 feet at open range with little wind... 500 feet targets hard to see - scope has very little zoom ;D but i love the kick and loudness of my mosin.

What are you using as a target, thats not very far to shoot over open sights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webwing Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 I guess that was not such a stupid question after all!!! The range in the info window, 2000m, is the distance the bullet can reach but not that the sniper would be able to see and shoot at that distance.... I'll make some tests to see how close the target needs to be in game for the sniper to star shooting. It will definetly have to do with the skills too.

Freeboy Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 the ranges are way off, see tank gun ranges! Effective ranges for snipers are, sighting ranges, in the 250-500 mtr good luck hitting anything past that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharnvor Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The ranges aren't way off. Those are the maximum possible ranges that the gun can fire a projectile. Whether those are effective ranges or battlefield ranges is another question altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeboy Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 20k? Dude look at the tank ranges... those are in the SILLY catagory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankibanki Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Originally posted by Freeboy: 20k? Dude look at the tank ranges... those are in the SILLY catagory That's the theoretical range a projectile can fly and that's quite realistic. It's not the range you can effectively fire at a target. It doesn't have any significance for the game engine as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeboy Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 ok, I can theoretically kill you with a fart lit on fire, but it has no relevence, nor do these ranges.. if it was on the moon would it reach escape velocity, again no relevance!!!!!!!!!!!1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
