What would you do?

[Nightice 4]

So I was playing in the early hours of the morning and its still slightly dark in game, casually creeping my way along the tree line North of Prig so I can start to scout out the 2 Medium value/ 1 High Value barns possibly for a scoped rifle/ammo and in the distance I can see 3 dark shapes slowly moving, At the time I only had a Lee Enfield and an Ak-74(in my pack) so i didn't particularly want to get into a firefight with 3 people with little cover.

However, they cut straight towards the barns I wanted to loot and too far to communicate with direct comms I moved into a position to take them down while they crossed the low ground from the bridge towards the first cluster of houses. I shot the first guy at around 300 Meters with the Enfield, He died instantly too a headshot and the two others instantly leapt up and sprinted. What was weird though, instead of making for the cover of either 3 barns, several houses or even the low lying shrubs and stone fences, they sprinted across from me directly to the trees with no return fire even though it was pretty obvious I was along the the nearest Tree line somewhere. I put the second guy down at about 220 meters as he was sprinting with a shot to the legs( He eventually bled out, he must of fallen unconscious) and the third guy continued his strange line to get out of my field of fire... directly into the trees, I put a few shots into the trees behind him but didn't chase, I'd gotten them out of the way with the benefit of possibly more medical supplies from the bodies and free reign too loot the barns after one more sweep of the area.

My questions for you guys though:

a ) Would you of shot them, are three barns worth blowing away 2 survivors?

b )Should I have chased the last guy (His loot was unknown at the time, he moved too quick to get a good view)

c ) If a sniper in an unknown position takes a shot at you, first reaction? and tree line or a nearby barn that's fully enclosed?

Whenever I see someone running and they have no clue I am there I will

- Not take a shot and ignore them

- Give them a warning shot

- Move to a different area

- Try to get close and communicate without them noticing me

Unlike you and 90% of the population on this game I treat other players as actual human beings trying to survive in a fucked up world.
