So I’m pretty upset after the patch. I think the Martini sniper is gone and I don’t really understand why they “fixed” it.
So here is my question which is the best sniper to use at the moment?
I know it is a personally question but i need new ideas of sniping.
I would be glad to know why you think “that” sniper is good.
Thanks.
I am using the Gewerhn 95 for aggressive scout playstyle. All the other rifles are incosistent due to fact that the enemies arms blocks the bullets so even when you are in sweep spot distance and aim for the chest, most of the times you wont OHK.
Its so funny how people were crying about the sweet spot mechanic and it doesnt even work properly most of the times. Now Dice will have to patch it for every sniper rifle because you guys cried too much about the Martini. And those who said the Martini is still a viable weapon never used it after the patch. Its just a scout Selbstlader 1906 now.
Thanks dude will definitely try that sniper now!
Be aware that it doesnt have a sweet spot so it will never OHK unless you hit the head. What is good about it is that it will always do beetween 79-90 damage and have a straight pull mechanic so you will be able to land a follow up shot easily. Remember to always spot your targets so even if you hit the enemy just once, a teamate may finish him of and you will get an assiste counted as a kill.
Cool dude thanks for the tips!
You’re probably about the .95.
I have used, and found the Martini viable (or maybe not nonviable), but I don’t feel particularly powerful with it anymore, you need your teammates to help you get kills now a lot of the time because it’s rare to get the 100 damage shots. I got about 30 kills with it today but a good half of those were assists counts as kills. So yeah, you’re probably right, might as well just use the .95 if it’s going to be like that since it fires so fast.
Everyone should give M.95 a fair shot. Fun and fast rifle.
yup
Yes. Like I said I feel like the Martini is like the Selbstlader 1906 now. Can it kill? definitely but you will be stuck on its reload animation without getting kill more often than not and there is now reason to use it over the .95 or the SMLE the same way there is no reason to use the 1906 over the Mondragon or the 1916. the small benefit doesnt compensates for its huge drawbacks. I was surprised that my KPM was better with the .95 than with the Martini. I have 20 services stars with the Martini and only 170 kills with the 0.95 so I cant tell you exactly how good it is. I played 2 games with it today and I was pretty good so I will try to play more with it.
An “aggressive” scout should be to down any enemy with any rifle. Fast firing means nothing in the face of precision.
My favorite ironsight bolt action is the Gewehr 95 (even before the latest changes to the Martini)
You might want to give the SMLE MKIII infantry a chance too. It has an interesting sweet spot.
Dead…
Going for headshots consisntently with that gun is impossible. It has 20 RPM, can only be used with iron sights and have the slowest velocity of any primary gun. Chest shots most of the times doesnt OHK even in the sweet spot range because the arms block the shots.
It’s sad all of us MH users are forced to look for another gun, I have not tried the MH since patch, but it sounds like DICE just removed the lvl 10 gun from the game. I hope it’s not as bad as all the reports.
It is. Get used to hitting guys and watching them run off to heal.
I just countersniped some long range scope glowstick sniper with the 95 marskman. Felt so good
Gewer 95 is a good choice for aggressive recon. I’ll miss the Martini. T-T
Martini Henri is still the best as it has the biggest and closest sweet spot, only difference is you get (as with all weapons in the game) the legs/arms multiplier (which is just normal). So I’d recommend that. Personally I don’t like iron sights in general and use the SMLE (second closest sweet spot).
I consider myself an aggressive recon player. I like to be within 40-100m of the objective and pick people off as they spawn in to try and defend the flag. That said, my favorite rifles are the SMLE Carbine, Gewehr M.95 Carbine/Marksman, and the Russian 1885 Infantry. The Carbine and Infantry variants are nice because you don’t have to scope out to re chamber the round so you can stay on target. And the Gewehr M.95 marksman comes with a straight pull bolt. So it basically operates like a BF4 rifle. I never much cared for the martini because the rate of fire was so slow.
Did you read the patch notes the martini is still just as good as it was, the only thing they changed was that you can’t shoot someone in the foot or arm and get a ohm.
