…with the new expansion more than ever. Nearly all maps are open field, ofc 60% of the team and enemy players are sniper. -.- Its rly not fun, especially bcs sniping is that easy, even a ape wo hit his head onto the keyboard can do headshots without problems. Pls set a sniper cap and would be nice if u could make sniping harder. In BF4 (a modern setting) the bullet has a bullet drop and in BF1 (WW1 setting) the bullet has no drop and fly straight ahead like a laser? -.- Cap should look as follow: 64 player: Max 6 sniper per side 48: 5 sniper 40: 4 sniper 32: 3 sniper 24: 2 sniper 16: 2 sniper 10: 1 sniper thank you and best regards ---

It really doesnt need a cap. If you cap one class, its only fair you cap them all. ---

There’s definitely a bullet drop. Not as severe as BF4 but it’s there. What would be the point of the range adjuster otherwise? Also I think your overplaying the sniper headshot card just to prove a point. ---

Bullet speed has increased overall making drop less noticeable. There is bullet drop. And I can run from F to A straight on Sinai Dessert evading any “sniper” using dunes alone. There is cover. ---

The only thing that needs a cap is these stupid threads. How dare bolt actions be present in a ww1 video game. The muzzle velocity is bascially realistic to its real life counter parts not BF4 airsoft edition. Sniping in real life isn’t really hard; it’s all about patience more then actual marksmanship plus your spotter calls your shots ---

Does this mean we need to cap camping support players too? I see more sniping support players while scouts are capping objectives. ---

DIce made sniping both easy and satisfying in BF1, and then went and made maps that encouraged more sniping. People like sniping, that’s why there’s lots of snipers. Why would DIce want to put a limit on them? ---

well, the problem is the really unbalanced squads that you get, no medic etc. The system should be, for example: You create a squad as assault. The next person entering the squad need to pick one missing class. Once the squad have 4 people with 4 different classes, the 5th can choose any. On a 32x32 server, the max squads per team would be 8. ---

But there’s already a cap for Scouts. 32 players per team, as the rest of the classes. Isn’t that fair? ---

On a 32x32 server, the max squads per team would be 8. Players should be able to sort his out themselves though. If you have a squad of 5 scouts, then all those players are quite happy to be in a squad of 5 scouts. ---

Totally agree with capped sniperslots. Other games have implemented it as well, Americas Army, Chivalry (Archerslots here). It greatly improves the gamingexperience. ---

I’m not against it as long as it is just on some servers well marked. Personally I avoid sniper limited servers as all it tends to lead to is people sniping with other types of weapons (LMGs and SLR are very capable of the same thing). The bullet drop in BF4 mostly comes from that you can shoot at much longer distances than you can in BF1 because of the scopes (20x and 40x scopes in particular). With an 8x scope in BF4, there is basically no bullet drop either within ‘comfort range’ + you can zero distances in an effective way in BF4. I found sniping easier in BF4 than in BF1 but then again I never bother about sweet spot range but always go for head shots which was easier in BF4 just because of the better scopes.
