A Sniper rifle

Game discussion Germany and Italy
1

What kind of sniper rifle. can you recommend for each side and for each br

2

For br 1 use carcano mod 38. The extra round is nice and the weapon looks cool. For br 2 use kar 98k prewar. It has slightly higher firerate than normal kar. The rest br 2 snipers are quite bad
For br 4 g43 is the only option but it has very high dispersion and i would personally prefer kar 98k
For br 5 use sniper stg or sniper mkb. They are really powerful if you use them correctly

M38 BR 1,2, g43 BR3,4, fg42/2 BR 5

I use Carcano 38s for both BR1 and 2, sometimes when I run a sniper squad I mix in a K98K for BR1 and a pre-war K98K for BR2.
I don’t use any sniper rifles on BR3, not having a semi-auto sniper rifle or a high rof bolt-action sniper rifle sucks. Flamethrower squads become available at this BR which mix super well with VG1-5s, I highly recommend this build.
For BR4 it’s obviously sniper G43
On BR5 I usually use sniper StG44, my sniper squad used to have 2 sniper StGs and sniper FG, but after the sniper FG42 finally gets unnerfed I might switch.

I have tried most of the Sniper rifles and IMHO, the BR1 1903A3 Springfield is the best sniper rifle. You can really reach out and touch someone brain pan from a long ways away. A scope is much better, but you dont have to have it fully upgraded. Semi auto sniper rifles don’t have as good of a range and make it easier to get you spotted.

That is how I get a lot of people with my tank. Usually more than one with an anti-infantry shell.

Too tempting to keep pulling that trigger. I can find a good perch and pick people off for a long time. You just can’t be greedy, especially when you find a rally point. They just cant see where you are unless the use binoculars or a sniper scope. I’m giving most off my troops that as a secondary weapon so you can always snipe if you run into a good perch.

here are the top 3 sniper in the game:

  1. Germany (Rank II): Fast reload, bolt action, good scope, fastest firing speed

  2. USA (Rank III): fast reload, 10 bullets mag, bolt action

  3. Germany (Rank I): Fast reload, 6 bullet, bolt action, low zoom scope
    image

I wouldn’t recommend any sniper above Rank III, because they don’t do enough damage to one shot and lots of enemy start to have the Life bonus perk after Rank III. While sniper soldier can’t have life bonus perk themselves.

Special mention:
Japan (Rank II): Not a sniper, but amazing gun with a scope and more useful than any Japanese sniper.

USA (Rank III): At tier III, not a lot of people got the life bonus perk, so the M1 Garand can one shot very often. And unlike the USSR, USA is the best nation for a Rank III army (with weapons like Browning M1918A2, M1 Garand, M1928A1 Thomson, P-51 D-5 Mustang, Lee-Enfield No. 4 MKI(T), M1 Garand Sniper)

USA (Rank I): Very similar to the the Kar98k pre-war

You can note that no sniper from the list are in USSR.

The devs should add an upgraded version of the Mosin M91/30.
It’s too slow to reload (6,6s), close to double the time of a Kar98k prewar (3,4s)

Because this is an AXIS discussion :kissing_heart:

Axis:

  • G98. Hardest hitting scoped rifle there is. Deadly accurate and also elegant. Available at low br.
  • carcanos mod38 scoped. If you wish to shoot fast, AND reload fast. Low hit power.
  • fg42II scoped for late br. The dispersion will be fixed like scoped m1 Garand.

Allies:

  • low br(1) Springfield basic version. Cheap and reliable.
  • mid br Lee Enfield sniper. Probably the game’s best scoped rifle hands down.
  • scoped m1 Garand at late br. Deadly accurate, hard hitting, and semi so good at that br.

Japan.

  • there’s really just the starter scoped rifle… but it has a great scope.

Soviets

  • starter scoped Mosin br1. Hard hitting and accurate. Slow to reload.
  • scoped SVT at later br. SVT are the game’s best semi autos. There’s now a scope on it. Beautiful.
  • alternatively, scoped AVS. Hits hard, 15 rounds, can go full auto in a pinch (but only use semi to snipe)

Note:
Firing fast when trying to snipe, is not an important factor and should be disregarded. UNLESS you attack in close range.

Im kinda like an assault sniper.

So carcanos mod38 are good for you as axis.

I prefer the elegant G98 for GUARANTEED (seriously that one hits hard!) kill at long range… and trusty pistol in close :slight_smile:

I respect you for your dedication in the game and in the forum.
But Sir, I have to firmly disagree with your analysis because you are objectively wrong.

  • The Gewehr98 do 23.8 damage at 300m. It’s a One shot from a very long distance.
  • The Kar98k still do 21,1 damage at 300m. So it’s still a one shot.

But at 300m the Gewehr98 is unusable because the scope magnification is too low to be used.

Therefor your argument is invalid and the Kar98k is still the best sniper of the game.
