3 Sniper, 2 différent scope x4, but the ingame zoom are all different.
What about a little standardisation?
The Gewerh used to be the best and polyvalant sniper. Now the fire rate is nerfed by 50%, it is less usefull in short distance. Yet it got the smaller zoom.
The FG42 is the less accurate, and can go full auto. Yet it fot the biggest zoom, and therefor is useless in short.
What about choosing the scope and the zoom lvl?
Th FG42 II just got an (major?) accuracy buff, I played it just in one match but damn, it feels so accurate now!
Here is the footage (timestamped)
I agree, FG42 sniper was pretty useless before: a sniper you can not snipe with…
Now it’s very good for long distance, but when the ennemy get closer the zoom make it disturbing to fire, and the full auto is irrelevant.
That’s why I think it’s more efficient to use a simple gewehr. It’s more polyvalant.
In my opinion the easiest way to solve the problem should be to get the kar98 the stronger zoom, and the FG42 the weakest. Since one is design for long range, and the other can go full auto.
The less the fire rate, the bigger the zoom.
On long range! On medium to short range it was a beast, but the zoom was inconvenient at that ranges.
Absolutely agree, would probably make sense.
I always guessed that they gave the FG42 II sniper a higher magnification as it is “top tier”.
Do you know you can take that scope out? When you are selecting soldier loadout and weapons just drag the scope away. As I unlocked sniper III I went to practice range to try FG 42 II and after a while I realized that the scope is useless as that weapon is not accurate enough to benefit from it.
