AS50 Range Finding?

[oled123@hotmail.co.uk 66]

I'm aware of the calculation of 1.8*1000/height in mildots but if you know anything you would know that for the AS50 the mildots are wrong so my question is, is there another calculation especially for the AS50?

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 guys - 100 meters apart.

See how it feels, practice on there is going to give you far better results than someone telling you a calculation :)

Shoot once, see where bullet hit, make adjustments, Fire again.

I've been told to do this by a friend however I suck at using the editor, I can't even figure out how to get myself an AS50.

With the alt+f4 faggotry this is not an option.

Go into the editor or the armory and shoot stuff.

I wish there was some tutorial for every sniper in DayZ and how to successfully "range finding".

I am using M24, and got pretty decent with it but when I had M107 it was totally different thing because of "two-zooms", also from my testing on different servers DMR center zeroing can be both 300 and 400 which is also big thing when you want to be accurate.

Sniping in DayZ is hard on veteran servers. :D

/me being noob and don't know how to get to "armory/editor" and test stuff.

If you want a cheat sheet to get used to it then just alt tab and look at the DayZDB map. The squares are 1km square and you can accurately range find from those without any effort.

EDIT: Sniping really is easy in DayZ, the bullet time is fair, the droppage is fair and completely countered by insta-zeroing (I snipe and would prefer an 8 second delay for zeroing myself). It's just that the guns are different.

One tip - under zero if in doubt and aim for the top of the head - far better a bullet drops into your target's knees/lower stomach than over zerod and shooting over your target and missing.

Thanks for answer mate.

I do understand sniping is easy in DayZ and probably should be "nerfed"/made harder but for someone who is not experienced DayZ player and even less experienced sniper player it's not that easy because of range finding. And it's not that it is hard process or time consuming, it is that I have no idea how to effectively do that and I can't find any resources to learn how to.

At this moment I have M24 and I always play on Veteran servers without built-in range finder, it's kinda hardish to guess how far my target is.

P.S.

Your proposition to use DayzDB map is clever but I would like to be able to estimate range in-game, just gotta figure out how mildots work or what is "formula" for it. :)
