Sucky Snipers

I've already used the .50 cal sniper against BRDMs and BTR80s a couple of times and it can be effective if it hits the right spot on the vehicle. All the shots went through the armor but then they have to hit the right spot to do any real damage, otherwise you just get damage to things like the sights and weapons or no damage at all. You can penertrate BMP1/2 armor with the .50 cal sniper too.

Of course clearing houses / buildings is where many of the KIA/WIA happens..... But in CMSF....I see way too many KIAs from guys in buildings taking small arms fire from 100+ meters away.....

Total agree with you this is still one of the "not so good" things in CMSF.

Small Arms Fire is too effective against Infantery inside of buildings.

Soo... is the spotter idea out the window?

And I didn't see any sniper pictures in the v1.11 screenies. Did I miss them?

Syrian SF with SVD was there.

Apocal: I was referring to only being engaged by a sniper. To reference something easily recognizable, let's go with the sniper scene in Saving Private Ryan.

Ah ok, that makes a bit more sense. Not a situation I've yet seen in the game, since I tend to co-locate sniper teams with MG teams.
