    "Sniping is not difficult"

    Yeah okay, show me a video of you reliably hitting moving targets then.

    Why would you snipe moving targets in the first place..? Just wait for them to stand still.

    I for the most part agree with you, so I don't want you to think I am completely arguing your point. However, in the scenario that you or a teammate miss or mess up, and the guy then starts to run to hide or alert other ppl, it would be nice to have a chance to snipe him before that happens. But once he starts moving, it is extremely difficult. And I am not a complainer about the bullet drop or sniping or anything. I love it, just saying that it is hard in this scenario.

    I've hit moving targets on a few occasions. 2 targets consecutively in the first link.

    http://xboxclips.com/CHIEF+FIREBIRD/...9-bb47fb90a2ef

    and here is another kill on a stationary target at approx 680m

    It can be difficult, but it's not impossible. I like the fact that sniping actually requires skill. If it were easy whay would be so impressive about anyone's shots?

    Don't mean to sound insulting here but 1: you have aim assist on a console and 2: you're at incredibly close range for most of those.

    " If it were easy whay would be so impressive about anyone's shots?"

    I couldn't give a singular f*** about people's "impressive" shots, I care about playing effectively with realistic ballistics, not this airsoft bullcrap we have now where we're dealing with less than half of a real bullet's velocity and a dramatically reduced engagement range.

    If I wanted to see impressive shots I'd watch people play modded ARMA3 with wind making +1500m shots.

    Or Sniper Elite 4 on 'Sniper Elite' difficulty, or hardcore. Some truly impressive shots there.

    I can also imagine that sniping will be considerably easier in Wildlands once you unlock/find a proper sniper scope, and not the Acog we had to use for the betas.
