This is a topic for sniper advice there was another topic like this but i cant seem to find it. I wanted to post this advice there but dont know where the topic is if u do please post the thread here.
thanks!

In the demo you change the scope elevation by using the ctrl key + the wheel on the mouse. Auto elevation doesnt work in the demo as far as i know. In FV elevation is changed by pressing ctrl key + +/-

but you've gotta have the scope on in order to change the elevation>

some good sniper advice would be:

1. stay out of site
2.Make sure you can hit them before firin
3.dont stay in on place to long
4.snipe in 2's so that you have someone watchin your back
5.if you are sniping atop a building that you gained access to via lader place some claymors on the lader
6.use the sniper rifle you are comfortable with
7. have an onobstructed (clear) view of the target
8.dont try to take on more then 2 ppl at a time with the sniper rifle, believe me i have tried it, I died
9.Select random spots
10.lie prone, so you are harder to hit
11. wait for the target to stand still
12.dont give away your position with unneeded shots

that is all I can think of for now. Do you have any other advice?:P

I would have most prob the highest snipe kills and accruacy around
Acc around 45% 3 shots per kill in a map is bad for me.

1/dont use s snipe weapon like a auto matic weapon, 1 shot 1 kill, they have trouble finding u.
2/limit your feild of veiw, large feild more ppl can see u to.
3/stay off ridges
4/crouch dont prone.
5/fire, kill duck down
6/be very patient
7/Always have 2 alternative 'outs' and plan of advoidance
8/When they come for u, think like them, understand where they are going to hit u from
9/When they get close, give them a climpse of u, choose the timing, draw them up, then lay a clay, so when they drop over the ridge karboom!!!
10/If u can arrange a medic to go out with u all the better.

When you know a map well enough, you probably have favorite sniping spots, in maps, try to find 2 sniping spots that is comfortable with you that are adjacent to each other.

1. Do not hide behind a tree, or go on to rooftops. Or stay on top of a hill. Those are the most obvious sniping spots.

2. Cover your body as much as possible from the direction of enemy fire.

3. If you must snipe from a rooftop, move very slowly and use your scope to find boogies before you expose more of your body.

4. Avoide sniping with 1+ people, with more people on a hill, they expose more of themsevles, with their shooting, and muzzle flash.

5. When sniping in a big map, take a very long route, so you dont run into other enemy snipers.

The best sniper is one with 0 deaths.

that is true commando 385, there is one map i like to play online it is ctf, and i think it is called groundhog dayA if im niot mistakin, while anyways there is a long street in it that the other team always comes down, i hide in the bushes at the end of the streeet and shoot them in the head as they come running down, as they as go running down it in a straight line, and if at all possible in a map where you want to snip, then try to find an area with bushes, and conseal yourself with the bushes.:P
