[AAR] Ultimate anti-sniper techinque...

[Minion508]

Okay, my squad was pinned down and we knew the enemy snipers position. It was quite far away, so we couldnt really see him, just the roof-top he was on. Our squad leader counted to 3 and we all popped up at the same time and just unloaded on the building. After a good 5 min. of rapid fire, we finally went to see what the result was. The enemy sniper's body was found. It was so awsome! To top it off, I got the kill.

What a horrible sniper. If he was good he would of picked one of you off because you were all stationary (and I assume he was still aiming at you)

I concur my good sir, you also just preyed and sprayed.

[Arnoldio]

Well, thats stupid sniper for you, nothing uncommon in PR. If i go sniping (well my mate has the sniper and i tell them when to shoot and everything), i usually relocate after a shot.

[CallousDisregard]

5 minutes seems like a long time
It is a good way to get away from a sniper, if you know his location that well but you were lucky to have hit him.
Suppression is great but it isn't perfect.

[Rudd]

good lad, people don't seem to realise the power of a whole squad unloading its weapons

on barracuda its usually enough to down a huey

even if you hadnt hit him, it would have scared him crapless, making him move and therefore give you at least 3 mins of peace

if I'm understanding the situation correctly, the sniper doesn't have an effective counter to this tactic, which is why he needs to relocate as often as possible. So don't be hard on the sniper, he was doing his job, but he was facing an enemy who was innovative

I like the tactics. Though you also have to consider yourselves a little lucky from that distance.

The thing was, we had an automatic riflemen on our squad. The sniper probably freaked out, got up to run then got caught by a bullet (which luckly was one of mine.) I think you guys are slightly underestimateing the tactic. Sure the sniper could be better, but the amount of supressive fire he had on him probably disabled him from aiming at all with the supressive effect.

Oh and yes we were lucky too have hit him, I'll admit, but it was still effective.

Once a guy in my squad single-shot a sniper back at .87...

Also, when we managed to kill a sniper some other time, I said on All Chat "SNIPER DOWN!!" Got kicked for taunting XD!

Yesterday on the ]H[ clan server, on Muttrah, there was a pesky US sniper in the moutains. He kept picking off random targets, and was hard to find. We eventually located him, and simply called in a motar strike.
No more pesky sniper.

Waste of mortar/couldn't BTR shoot it?

Waste of mortar/couldn't BTR shoot it?

The fighting never left the docks area (too many friendlies in the area to call it on the flag, and no other real stationary targets to call it on), meanwhile, BTR's were all dead, and the round was almost ending.

The sniper had 20 kills or so, and the team wanted revenge.

When faced with a tough opponent, use a bigger gun.

You were lucky, that sniper didn't shoot that good.

The best anti-sniper technique is firing inaccurate fire at them, it will scare them away because they don't want to lose their kit, otherwise in AAS, use the HAT kit, that kit 1337 N1nj4 p0wn$ !

[TheOldBreed]

i use smoke a lot. if i'm pinned, i drop smoke on my position, then another further out towards the other spot of cover i'm going to. or sometimes i just up and run, praying the sniper is a shit shot (which he usually is haha)

Fire at me usually just makes me get down because my spotter is always a medic. Besides, I'm usually never afraid of losing my kit, because if I happen to be dead dead, then my friend has the kit and hides till I get back, or if we both go down usually we're close enough to just run back and get it (referring to Muttrah of course). Of course, this doesnt happen often.

Hope u seen the movie: Enemy at the gate

I remember once the Soviet sniper said: Sniper who doesnt change his position is really 'strange'

I assume he mentions the 'strange' as:
1. That is a silly sniper dude.
2. He s having some plan or ambush to kill you.

[Gore]

nice one. poor cowardly sniper. the essence of anti-teamplay in video gaming. good kill.

[Zegel]

I'm cracking up at all of the comments that start off: "You gots lucky, he wuz a HORRIBLE sniper bcuz..." Minion, it sounds like your thread title managed to coax all of the snipers to come out of their holes in the ground.

Seriously though, I like the idea and it's definitely something I will consider employing when my squad comes up against a similar situation.
