Gopher (DayZ) 5 Posted September 2, 2012 Don't bother, any sniper with zeroing is far better than an SVD Camo. You can just do the easy mildot math for range or use the range marker on your map for distance. It's a very cool gun in terms of looks, but it's just a status symbol because it's rare. I had the choice to choose between an SVD, and an AS50. I regretted choosing the SVD. Mostly because of the poor damage and accuracy. I know how to use the range finder built into the SVD and am pretty good with it too. But when it's real time and you gotta act fast before your target gets away, by the time you have gotten the adjustment on the scope, they may have been long gone. Where as the AS50 or any other sniper with zeroing, you could just get the range, plop it into your zeroing, and your done within seconds. TL;DR AS50 is more accurate (better zeroing+scope), stronger (one shot kill, anti material). SVD is weak (compared to as50 and m107) and accuracy is lacking, if not trained well to use.

noobsmcgee@gmail.com 52 Posted September 2, 2012 the svd is easy to use and the only thing that would make an as50 more visible is the sound it makes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amaROenuZ 144 Posted September 2, 2012 The SVD isn't comparable to the AS-50. The DMR and M24? Sure. Not the anti-materiels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
