This as well. In-game map also has that function, if you find one.

Personally, PU scope helped me to get a feel for calculating distance. FOV doesn't matter since the scope size is bigger or smaller depending on your FOV.

Put your medical supplies in a backpack and hide it someplace near before you go looting.

I play on 30+ servers and I've seen plenty of untouched areas, if I ignore military bases and airfields.

If it would be random, players would just kill themselves even more to get their desired spawn point.

Newsflash Primary weapons are not military building exclusive. I just can't fathom why anyone would go to a military area looking for loot. Especially in Elektro/Cherno/Balota. Unless there was a server restart recently, or the server is extremely low populated to begin with, chances are you won't find anything useful whatsoever. There's also a great risk of getting killed by other players. Stop going for the quick, easy and obvious loot spawns. You claim there are no point going outside E/C/B area. That is completely false. If you claim otherwise, you have not played the game long enough to know better. 1. Go inland. 2. Find a small/medium sized city. 3. Start looting. I would also recommend checking out buildings that have opened doors. Yes someone has been there, but there is a chance they didn't find what they were looking for, and there might be something of use left for you. There's no need to shout ALPHA in this thread, because OP is invalid to begin with even at this stage.

The thing is most players just rush for military bases and airfields while ignoring other places. Then they cry there's no loot left on the server and server hop.

If it's hard to repair/maintain and ammo for it is extremely sparse, then maybe.

Not sure. I've had one suspicious death at the construction site north of Lopatino. I heard someone hit me with an axe. My legs broke and I quickly checked my surroundings. I didn't see anyone. Few seconds later I got hit again which made me unconscious. Minute later I saw a player approach my body (turned up gamma and opened the menu). He had no axe, rifle or backpack on him. Just a .45 handgun which he used to finish me off. That made me suspicious but not suspicious enough to blame hacking/cheats. There was some lag on the server beforehand. He could've hit me with lag on his side, see me go unconscious, hide all his gear nearby and then loot my body.

Have you lost your whole inventory or a character? I've never heard of or experienced inventory loss myself so I bet it's character "loss". There are few possibilities I can think of: 1. You have joined a different server where your character data is not stored. Try checking out servers on History tab if you can find your character. 2. You have logged off in a dangerous area and were killed by either a zombie or a player. Your character stays on the server for 30 sec after you have logged off. 3. A bug. Whatever is the case you should never get attached into your gear.

They would most likely just ALT+F4 anyways, since most if not all combat loggers panic whenever they are attacked. They can't handle the heat.
