How easy is it to snipe someone on a motorcycle?

[Megasha 0]

The other day I went on my motorcycle to go look for helicopter crash sites and I got sniped somewhere in the open field between Lopatino and Vybor. I was going full speed off the road and and then I instantly died by a single clean bullet. When I looked at my blood in the debug menu, it said I had -6000 blood. So how easy is it to snipe someone on a motorcycle? I can't imagine that it would have been as simple as one shot. Could the player be hacking?

Its not hard to snipe someone on a motorcycle. I've sniped someone on an atv. It depends on desync and server. For all you know you were driving right at the guy who sniped you from 400+ meters away. Though I'd rather just hve a machinegun and spray at the guy.

It depends a lot on the angle, if they were somewhere infront or behind you then lining up a shot is extremely simple and 50 cal is one shot kill.

It's not hard at all

It is hard with a sniper rifle at full deflection, since you'd need to lead so much that the target would be out of your sights if he's going faster than about 20km/h. If the angle is small though, it's not hard at all.

(speed of target + desync - aiming skills) * random hickup = % chance of missing a hit

Are you certain you were killed by the bullet, or did the bullet miss and the hacker got pissed then killed you with a kill script?

To my knowledge there isn't an aimbot script. Of course, in these set of circumstances it's possible that the shot was legit - you got really unlucky and the sniper got really lucky.

kids saying its not hard to hit a guy moving at 60km/h rofl

i bet 99.9999% of these failures cant even hit a guy running in a field let alone one driving a vehicle

All i can say is that you where not hit by a 50 as your blood would have been lower then -20000. Can i ask what kind of server you happened to be on? Was 3rd person on / crosshairs? If Yes to those it would make shooting you pretty easy.

I play on expert servers for a reason, everything in this game is a double edged sword.

dmr or m14 has 20 rounds... if you were riding at him or close to being at him would have been an easy shot... but if you were riding perpendicular to him it would have been a bit of a gamble..

Then agian M14 is only 8k dmg per shot
