St. Vith: Forgotten Hope 2 Update

[evhgear]

It's K98 not K89

[Ts4EVER]

Don't take my word for it, but I'm pretty sure they got G43 zfs. They also have G43s for the scouts and ncos.

[hyperanthropos]

Ohhhh that would mean no serious sniper battles on Vith and somewhat unfair for the Germans snipers.

Devs shoud really think about it again or did German snipers mostly use G43 in the Ardennes? I as far as Iknow this is not the case.

[Ts4EVER]

Pfft the map has like what, 400m view distance? at that range the magnification of sniper scopes makes absolutely no difference. In fact that is the case on pretty much every FH2 map.

[hyperanthropos]

400m is similar to what map?

G43 is only really good on Brest. The zoom makes a huge difference as I said the G43 with its low zoom and the bad German crosshair make it useless an even medium ranges.

Please give the Germans K98 ZF atleast to stand a chance against Allied snipers. Not everybody thinks snipers are useless...

[Musti]

As far as i know, the best sniper rifles are...regular rifles. Thats because you don't have to compensate so much for the bullet drop. So less zoom = better.Besides, not everything has to be mirror balanced.

[Ts4EVER]

Also, I don't think more than 5% of all kills oyu get with your sniper rifle are enemy snipers. It's not like you are directly pitted against the enemy sniper. And even if that is the case, the zoom level means jack shit, at that point it's all about who sees the other guy first.

[hyperanthropos]

Yeah Musti of course why not completly drop sniper rifles you can do everything with a regular rifle, since its much better to shot on big ranges with less zoom. Why didnt I come up with this.

ALso its not about mirror balancing its about having the right gear for teh right situation. And German sniper almostalways choose the K98 over the G43, so yet again G43 where its usefull (city terrain) otherwise K98. Also makes for historical corectness.

@ TS4ever: True the sniper duel is a weak argument. And as someone who plays as a sniper a lot I can tell that zoom makes a big difference, its a lot harder to even find the guy with a G43.
