Why use any sniper other than Tac 50? | Forums

EXACTLY, I'm level 252 and the good bulk of that was using an Mk 14, my ole rifle made virtual, there's a reason many still use it today, speed, power and versatility all rolled into one.

in BP... why do I find the HTI to be better than TAC-50... Do I have it set up wrong?

Unless I'm reading the stats wrong (I may very well be), the tac50 has a better range and the drop off is less.

I agree as long as you don't need a suppressor the Zastave is hardest hitting choice.I usually take 3 rounds + to take down a chopper with TAC50 but 1 for the Zastava.Got so good I started a competition with myself how many choppers I can down in the 2 minutes of defending an objective.Sad I know but with the state of the game,ubi stripping my solo playtime,coop playtime and my story completion from me I don't see the point of grinding out the same faction missions daily for 3 weeks at a time.

I tend to use the HTI more as it seems to do slightly more damage to vehicles. Also the FOV is a decent size.

At longer range (ie far enough that they cant hear the shot), I tend to use the zastava.

A lot of people overlook the m82, mostly because if it's high recoil, but if you stack up handling and can manage the recoil it's a semi auto sniper rifle, with a decent ROF without the need to chamber a round each shot. I've had some good 2 shot follow ups in ghost war with it.

True, though in Afghanistan, Iraq and other locales, this rifle is still used, especially with the USMC, it's very reliable and most engagements are not the so-called one mile shot scenarios, LOL, they're within 100-500 yards, the Mk 14 excels in these constrained environments. Don't get me wrong, there are a ton of folks that have transitioned and moved on to new generation gear, though there's still more than a few rocking the ole trusty.

The reason some snipers use other rifles is because it is just simply variety like one poster said he challenges himself that only made him better with that sniper rifle in either a specific situation or all around, case and point I have a specific loadout that I call "Deep State Sniper" and that's the 5.7: great range and accurate, G28: modified accurate, powerful damage, 85-90% range good handling, excellent DTD and semi-auto rate of fire is great for multiple engagements, either the Tac 50 or Scorpio Scout because of already stated for a camp of drones,sentinel and wolves;

Each sniper rifle has its own unique qualities for a unique set of circumstances/situations scorpio scout perfect for putting down drones, Tac 50 or M82 usually those are used for vehicles both land, air and sea but they aren't actual .50cal but anyways just because it seems like one rifle will get the job done it is just that seems like it until put in a situation that requires you to shift/adapt reason why the saying goes "stay ready and you don't gotta get ready" also why snipers are directly related to reconnaissance as some snipers would also say "i always know who and what I am dealing with before I go into a situation" that's really for everyday life but most don't prepare like that same goes for the game.

My sniping is closer in thus I prefer the RECON A1

Well I took shots towards 600 m with the A1. Also, the shorter size looks a lot better when hung on your rucksack while kneeling down.........not poking the ground. LOLLLL

Wildlands it's BDC all the way unless I want something that doesn't blow sh*t up.

I took all three 50-cal rifles to the range (Auroa Airport) and the biggest differences between them, regardless of how you set them up (which is limited) was the recoil. Take a shot and observe how far the reticule moves off the target and how long it takes to settle back. It’s insane with the M82, better with the HTI and best with the TAC. The semi-auto action advantage of the M82 is completely lost due to the massive recoil.

I may be mistaken, but I believe the M82 can’t equip a bipod which further disqualifies it.

Also the TAC can equip a 10 round magazine. I’m not sure about the other two.

But as I said earlier, the RoF of the Scorpio Scout makes it the king of TTK on drones. But there are a lot of other factors that affect TTK on drones such as perks, suppressor use, sharpshooter bullets, and most importantly where you hit the drone. But in my experience the Scorpio Scout is the best for rapid follow up shots and getting lead on target.
