Add more sniper tools

There has to be a more realistic more common double shot rifle that is common in Russia right ?

Well IZH-94 and Baikal MP-221 for two:

I was always hoping for Kozlice though.

Would you like a FLIR sight, AN-PSQ 20, and an M107A1 with Raufoss Mk 211 ammo too so you can be the ultimate sniper in a zombie survival horror game?

 

 

False. I'm no sniper, but every marksmen I've ever worked with or shared stories with prefers to handle their rifle with their bare hands or cut the fingers off their gloves to handle the parts of their kit better.

 

Unless you use gloves with a fold back trigger finger like mine, so ideal :).

Well, from what I've seen online, the great majority of owners have mounted scopes on them. Is there a need gameplay-wise? No, it would be worse if anything. But "authenticity"-wise, ignoring any "balancing" concerns... yes, there should be a scope.

 

 

I mean, the Blaze itself isn't really authentic anyway, but your point is that in an environment where Blaser B95 rifles appear in significant quantities, optics are no stranger to them. I can absolutely agree with that.

 

Balance is something I only concern myself with for the most game-changing issues. But on anything that's two steps lower than revolutionizing the game, I try to steer clear. I WANT an asymmetric experience, and I like the idea that it's possible for some people to have a distinctive advantage over another. The only time I'd ever bring it up is for issues like having the AKM spawning as the most common rifle, and possibly gun, in the game. In the real world, it probably would exist in the largest quantities over any other guns in Chernarus (it'd be far more common than the AKM is relative to guns ingame now.) However, you can see how this would be a pretty significant issue, even though it would be breaking the realism. I guess I'm just into "authentic balance", because even though it's not necessarily the most realistic, it doesn't "feel" wrong that military weapons are rarer as a whole.

 

That's all besides the point. I have said that I have no problem with the Blaze getting a scope, for whatever reason. The only reason I'm not in full support is because in order to make it realistic it'd need either its own scope or a separate mount, whereas the CR-527 and Sporter-22 would need far less work. I simply don't believe it's worth the time on the developers' behalf to make one when it'd likely hardly ever see any use.

 

Granted, I am intrigued by Gibonez' idea of having the scope and the mount/rings being separate, so in order to use the scope to begin with you'd have to find the mounts. I'm not sure how in depth they'd want to take this, though, because they'd have to revamp many of the optics in game already, and you'd also start seeing people asking to take apart Aimpoints and put them on the Ruger.

I'd love to see wind, but does somebody know, how complex it would be at add wind? Because that would make a 2D flying curve into a 3D fyling curve of the bullet, wouldn't it?
