[AAR] Who said that snipers arent usefull?!
Ok so this was one of my best rounds ever, and I think I pretty much proved that sniper can be very usefull.
It was the pelitutka server on the Operation Barracuda map, I made a sniper squad along with my clanmate.
After I grabbed my sniper kit we took one of the unused trucks and used it to set up a FOB in a very good location, then the sniping began. We worked very closely with the *RR* and other infantry squads. They would tell us the grid and the possition of the enemy and we would move to take them out from a distance.
Eventually my spotter got killed so I was left alone, that is when the real action started.
Since my spotter was very far away, and there were allot of people in need of transport I told him to grab the truck and pretty much act as a taxi. I was just helping inf squads, providing support and relocating quite often. I prize myself on being a moving sniper and I never use the standart sniper spots.
Anyway, after some time while I was in one of the positions I heard gunshots behind me. I noticed that was an american gun so those must have been enemies. I came on top of the hill to see a medic healing his officer. I took out my pistol, came closer and executed a well aimed double tap thus killing both of them. I turned around just to see another US guy rushing me with a knife, I started firing with my pistol but the guy was like a terminator, I swear to god I put atleast 5 rounds in him. Anyway after my five fail rounds I pulled out my knife and decided to deal with him like that. We both failed so I pulled out my pistol again and finished him off. One of the *RR* guys actually witnessed that.
I then came back to my sniping duties, going around and helping friendly squads. As I was passing near one of the houses I saw someone inside. After I quickly checked the map I realized those guys were enemies. Took out my pistol again determined to get rid of them. I saw a medic healin a guy (again) killed them both with my pistol. I ran out of ammo so I ran around the house while reloading just to see a leg sticking out . I shot a couple of rounds and killed the poor *******. Then I went back to the main entrance just to see a guy camping, fortunately due to my reflexes I managed to kill him.
I then went inside to see a medic healing the guy I shot in the leg. I took the medic down and thus cleared the house.
After that I went back to my regular sniping duties and the round ended pretty soon.
We won with 200 against 0
Here is the final score.

Re: [AAR] Who said that snipers arent usefull?!
The way you play with that sniper kit, that is what I call unusefull, you might aswell grap an officer kit and rambo with your pistol, the chance was big that they killed you and took your sniperkit and they would have 3 sniper kits and if they used it well chinese wouldnt stand a chance
But nice score anyway, how many did you actually take out with your sniper from a long distance?

Re: [AAR] Who said that snipers arent usefull?!
No, no I didnt mean to go rambo, I was as you can read, reporting the intel, and providing fire support. This couple of rambo times happened when enemies were very close and I had to defend myself. I think 10 of those kills were sniper shots from a distance.

It sounds like you used the pistol more than the sniper rifle.

Re: [AAR] Who said that snipers arent usefull?!
Unfortunately yea almost, but I didnt do it on purpose I am not some pistol/rambo its just that theese situations were unavoidable, the first one when I spotted a medic and an officer, they were 5 m behind me. I was lucky they didnt see me, and the guys in the house were preparing to ambush our troops so I had to act. I did use my sniper rifle more though. I mean two of those situations in the whole round. I was reporting inteligence and providing fire support most of the time.503 wrote:It sounds like you used the pistol more than the sniper rifle.

Re: [AAR] Who said that snipers arent usefull?!
Talking about bad in the wrong hands, I despise people who just use them for the rifle. Obviously that's a mainstay of the class, but there are more useful ways to utilize the tools at hand. Whenever I'm Sniping, it's never in a sniper squad, half the time it's with a regular INF squad providing long range target aquisition and support, and the other half it's locating targets for choppers and AFV'S I can guarantee I left click more with the GTLD out than I do with the rifle out.

Re: [AAR] Who said that snipers arent usefull?!
Oh yea but I was on the chinese side. When Im on the BLUFOR I use the GTLD waaay more.
Lazing and typing in the team chat like crazy, giving approach vectors, reports of enemies...
I only fire when a squad asks me to help them, or if they are pinned down, or to take out HATs, Medics and such.
I ussually dont do this, this round was unique thats why I posted it here.
I dont like snipers in inf squads, cus most of them get owned in cqb and waste the sniper rifle, but then again not everyone is like that.

Re: [AAR] Who said that snipers arent usefull?!
When there is a sniper around helping out usually the friendly squads dont notice as well. During a round of muttrah i set up on the US side in a building a couple of 100m behind friendly lines and shot at AA AT and about everybody who set up on the roof. I doubt either side realized where I was. At the end of the round they only saw I got kills.

True - the best snipers should make a difference without any of the squaddies noticing!Cassius wrote:When there is a sniper around helping out usually the friendly squads dont notice as well.
