FrostDMG 398 Posted May 18, 2014 I wasn't gonna comment on the first post but LOL. This is the definition of noob.You play for a bit, use a gun once, you aren't able to kill someone with it...

gibonez 3633 Posted May 18, 2014 It is not underpowered, the damage system is just inconsistent at best. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taco86 156 Posted May 18, 2014 Depends on how bad of a shot you are.....More like how bad a shot the gun wants to be at the time you shoot it... SKS dispersion is horrendous, don't expect consistency beyond anything over 100m... The gun should be shooting in the 3-5 moa range, not the 25-30 moa range....

riskiestkiller 8 Posted May 18, 2014 SKS is underpowered, they should decrease recoil and increase damage. SKS is useless atm. The recoil/ accuracy is pretty realistic and i find the gun a 1 to 2 shot kill, unless someone has a vest but even then its a 2 to 3 shot most of the time to the chest. Only thing that bugs me is how the PU scope is able to be mounted on the sks so easy and how it actually holes a zero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only thing that bugs me is how the PU scope is able to be mounted on the sks so easy and how it actually holes a zero. Yea the Pu scope needs to go. As for the recoil its pretty spot on, the accuracy of the weapon is not that realistic though. sks is about a 4 moa gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibonez 3633 Posted May 18, 2014 i would have to disagree on the accuracy, can you explain little bit? I am just guessing the in game accuracy of the SKS is not even close to what it is in real life. Gews could probably tell you better as he has don the work and has measured the weapons in game accuracy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lipemr 160 Posted May 18, 2014 all weapons feel like a shotgun-pellet spitter right now, the only accurate weapons are the blaze and the mosin (the mosin shouldnt be much accurate at all, BTW). The entire damage/ballistics system must be redone, and it will take an entire year to do, following the speed that shit's getting worked right now. So get used to shitty and inconsistent firefights, people, they'll be around for a very good time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riskiestkiller 8 Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) I am just guessing the in game accuracy of the SKS is not even close to what it is in real life. Gews could probably tell you better as he has don the work and has measured the weapons in game accuracy. I own 2 sks, and i find the accuracy pretty close to being what it is in real life compared to in game, the gun can hit chest sized target pretty easy at 25 to 100 yards, with good ammo, past 100 yards you get into start missing the target, but it is more then capable at hitting out 300 yards but mind you it's not easy hitting reliable out at that range but it all comes down to how good of shot you are, type of ammo you, how good of bore you got, and if the gun is sited in. The 7.62x39 round is capable of hitting out alot farther then 300 yards but you prob are't going to do well cause the 7.62x39 round it self isn't that accurate and the sks is just not that accurate of a gun. But i find it's pretty easy to hit people in game up to about 100 yards then i start missing, but mind you i not the best shot in game as it is :P Edited May 18, 2014 by riskiestkiller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One can dream anyways. But i would also hope anything like that would be ubber rare to find. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applejaxc 2500 Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) How much do you suck? The SKS needs to be nerfed, if anything, especially vs its real life counterpart. The muzzle blast isn't nearly bright enough at night. Edited May 18, 2014 by Applejaxc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
