Even if you don't like using sniper rifles, you can always use one of the general weapons in their place. M5K is a good one. It's a great class to use in Rush mode. The T-UGS and Spawn Beacon are great tools to haveOriginally Posted by Shooto
Although I recommend using the SKS with the flash suppressor and Holographic sight. It's like using a single shot assault rifle, only stronger, more accurate and better range. And the fire rate is higher than the other Sniper Rifles, so mid range, the things is a beast. Pop, pop, pop, pop, no one will survive it

I haven't used the SKS yet. I actually just unlocked that and the Barret. I guess I just got the hang of the L96 and then the M40A5, and I was doing so well with both, that I didn't want to get distracted. Using the SKS sounds like the way to go for Aftermath maps, and say Grand Bazaar.

There is so much **** to do. I LOVE that this game took sniping so seriously, and you have to work at it. Gotta figure out what rifles to work towards first though. I'll have to try the SKS when I can. Finally getting back into leading a target, and LOVE that it has gravity at a distance too. Is there a gamemode on the console that keeps the map size but gets rid of vehicles?
Not into the SKS. Maybe I've given up on it too fast (for now, at least), but it's about as frustrating using this rifle as the MK11. I didn't notice any one-shot-one-kill deaths, and got so accustomed to having to dispense two rounds, that I routinely fired twice because I no longer expected one shot to drop an enemy.
Maybe it was nerfed?
In any case, I'm loving sniping, and look forward to seeing how the Barret and the M39 stack up against the L96 (my favorite) and M40A5.

I really want the m98. As for the SKS, great with no score just iron sight on mid to close range. In having a bitch of a time ranging past 300 though with the snipers
Any tricks on ranging?
So I went and read up on the different scopes and the mil dots and the lines to determine distance, and the rough mark between each for each gun on each scope. Now I'm about 95% nailing the range at anything under 400, probably about 90%ish between 4-600. My problem now though is the lead time. Counter-sniping isn't a problem, but the bullets move so ****ing slow you need to lead them sooo ****ing much after 200 if you sniping a moving target.
Taking another break from sniping for some domination and working on my assault again, if I don't get distract by the awesome shotgun that is.
I've started attempting to become an aggressive recon, and I've found the M40 to work at the short/mid range better than the L96 given the faster rate of fire, and easily adjustable for slower velocity. L96 still my long-range rifle till I finally get the M98 tonight.
If none of you have seen it, there is a sight that shows weapon ballistics for the game. http://symthic.com/bf3-weapon-comparison#01-01-02-01
Finally got the slug for the SPAS, my KD Ratio just about doubled. Talk about easy mode.
