You will never be able to shoot a target at 1000m

[Angel Knight 427]

I have 67 confirmed kills at 3,200 meters with my CZ550.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

I have a confirmed kill of a moving cow at roughly 150m. I forgot to Fraps it though so you'll just have to take my word for it. I confirmed it myself and I think a zed was watching too.

That makes it legal then :P

miday+clear fog

[Inception. 9443]

I just did it earlier, and I have people that can vouch for me.

You obviously haven't hit one. it's not that hard.

[sostronk 334]

I killed a Zombie at point blank range. Im no pussy.

isnt draw distance 1600m ?

nope, its 1000m. look out with rangefinders and see for yourself :(

[Toft 61]

View distance is defined in server settings. Stop telling people bullshit to adjust the visibility. Go ingame, join a server and try adjusting the visibility setting. You will see no effect at all be it 500m or 10km. Again, this is server defined settings.

maybe so, but atleast i aint QQ'ing about ppl not being able to hit from 1000+ meters, and saying its impossible.. when it clearly is..

either way.. i have no problem seeing over 1000 meters in game.. if its server settings or setting in the game.. i dont really care :)

maybe ppl should just get a proper pc :)

[x13x 5]

i have had a range finder on a player that i later killed with a AS50, the distance was over 900m, after a 2 "Practice Shots" B) i hit the guy. so all i can say on this matter is that 900m is possible on dayz with a AS50.

They really need to implement more realistic sniping.

Right now its far too easy for someone to pick up a high-calibre weapon and take out people from ages away with very little experience.

ACE's wind dynamics would be a great addition.

[U.G.N - Jedi Panda 1319]

over 1000m is realistic, longest confirmed killshot in RL is over 2500m (by a British sniper I might add!) :)

but yes, wind and some other variables would be nice and more realistic, :)

To internet-heroes abound,

Troll harder please. I didn't know that the visibility was Server-dependent. It's Ok folks, sometimes people still learn stuff, and not everyone knows everything. The server I play on must be limiting visibility to about 600 meters. That's pretty cool I think because it equalizes the .50 cal to some degree.

@ Double_Back

STFU NOOB. But no, seriously, Fog of War, as you're talking about is what you just read on Wikipedia. The term Fog-of-War, in the GAMING sense is a very old term meaning past the visibility of the player. Fog of War is often mentioned in RTS type games like Starcraft 2 or dota-style games.

You are arguing semantics my friend, do you have to always be right about what a phrase or word means? The term 'Fog of War' has the exact meaning Double_Back referred to, your meaning is a cultural reference surrounding old video games. I don't think viciously attacking him was necessary.

See, I'd be perfectly ok with you lashing out like this if:

1 ) You hadn't made the thread

2 ) you called everyone full of 'bullshit' if they had accomplished what you said was impossible.

You invited this on yourself, friend. Next time, try posing a question rather than a declarative statement when you admit that you still have 'stuff to learn'.

[Depletion 0]

I've seen a couple of posts before about people wanting and/or accomplishing the 1km shot on a target.

To all of them I say BULLSHIT.

How is it that you take down targets at 900-1000meters when the Fog of War kicks in around 500-600meters. There's absolutely NO way you can hit something 1000 meters out. You cannot see it.

**edit: before you troll this, look at response below**

I'v gotten several kills at 900+ meters with my AS50. And the fog varies on other factors.

Maybe instead of posting a thread about how everyone in all the other threads is a complete moron and you know better, you should have your facts straight. You know, so you don't go looking like a huge fucking jackass who's doubling down on his jackassness with more yelling at people.
