Spawnrate for as50 and m107, and dmr. Should be reduced.....A LOT. Funny thing. For every sniper the US army has we have 10000 assaslt rifles. I don't know if the cherno military does thing differently but I doubt there are this many snipers. I blame them dupers and hackers.

The thought of sitting on top the NEAF ATC tower and launching those rounds on Kras would be hilarious plus I am an advocate of high zombie kill score

I dont strive for a high kill count, player or zombie :) i have a different goal, see how long i can survive, i fire my gun when needed, but the best run so far was aprox 39 hours of game play, only 72 zombies killed, 1 murder, i didnt have anything fancy on me, as i prioritized getting the tools over weapons, close to the end i had the m1014 w/o flash from a deer stand xD someone either left it there or it spawned. before that for almost 30 hours i had used a double barreled shotgun and m9sd. Gotta say though, m1014 with pellets :D just destroys zombie hordes ^_^

Makes sense I dont kill players just heal'em however I have a personal vendetta against the infected so I walk into towns and take each gun kill as many as I can until I've emptied the town of ammo and move on rinse repeat. I was up to 680 in less than two hours before I crashed a chopper like the horrible vehicle operator I am.

hmm do i count as a horrible vehicle operator too if i have a tendency to try and crash the vehicle as spectacularry as possible when the gas gets low, and try and bailout xD I once managed to Glitch flip my ATV in the air 2 barrel rolls, i survived the crash, but i broke my leg and had to crawl for 50 minutes or so to the nearest hospital for some morphine xD

Soviet infantry doctrine (which all Warsaw Pact countries usually followed) was one SVD equipped sniper per rifle squad as the AK weapons family doesn't allow accurate point target fire out past 300 metres (with issued iron sights).

After early experiences in Iraq, where US forces where regularly engaged from over 500 metres away by enemies using SVDs or the locally licensed copy; the US (and the British) started equipping one man per rifle squad with weapons matching the SVD, although they were called Designated Marksmen instead of snipers.

Which is why you might well find the occasional M14, DMR, SVD or M24, but anti-material .50 cal rifles will be very rare.

Given that the M249 is found in Chernarus, I'm very surprised by the lack of the M240 along with ALL trace of any Soviet/Russian light or medium machine guns...

I'd also like to point out that I've been hitting military tents, deer stands and airfields for the last 4 days in game. So far, I haven't found ANY sniper rifles. I've come accross several AK, M4, m1014s but not a single sniper rifle. No MP5, no machineguns of any kind. I think the prevalence of AS50s is to blame on the dupers or ghosters that go to an airfield, log out, and go to a different server to try and raid it again. Its a bullshit, gamebreaking mechanic.

An interesting counter to that would be a physical limit on the number of a particular weapon that can exist on the server. Perhaps no more than 5 AS-50s can exist at any one time. That would greatly limit the amount of asshats in ghillies playing god. I dunno, seeing as I haven't even come accross these fabled weapons yet, I can't in good conscience say their spawnrate needs to be reduced.

I dont even prefer sniper rifles :P i prefer shotguns with a supressed M9 with SD rounds on the side, my buddy usually has a lee enfield or a sniper, and if need be, we switch our loadouts between us. sometimes the other has the shakes so he cant operate a sniper, so we switch up, having shakes inhibits less on the m1014 for example :P loaded with pellets.
