First of all, I've shot probably more rifles than you will ever do in your lifetime, Secondly, I'm joining the Army next year, so I make it my purpose to find out about weapons, how to shoot them, techniques with which how to shoot them and different breathing techniques to STOP, yes STOP the movement of the gun completely.
You are ignorant if you think that when a sniper is shooting his rifle it is moving. Pffft, ok smart ass, tell me this, how the fuck can a sniper hit a target at a range of in excess of 1000 yards if the rifle is swaying ?? Huh ?? Simple fact of the matter is the fucking rifle DOES NOT MOVE. The reason a sniper becomes a sniper is because he has a VERY HIGH proficiency in weapon handling. These guys are trained so that when they are are lining up for a shot, they regulate their breathing so as to control the rifle and stop it's movement. If the rifle is swaying, you're simply not going to hit a target out too 1000 yards, simply put it would be impossible.
I'm not referring to when the guy is running, ofcourse the fucking scope is going to sway if he's running, I'm not that fucking stupid. I'm referring to when the guy is actually lining a shot up using the scope. As KOG suggested that was "realistic", I'm simply stating it is FAR from realistic to have the scope moving when you are using the scope to hit a target while you are NOT moving.

Going to the Army soon, the keyword is soon !! firing a rifle standing or crouching at a shooting lane is simple enough, during combat is a completely different issue... You run, you duck, you swicth from rifle to grenades and back... Every tried running just 100 meters and the trying to shoot something thats just 50 meters from you ??? Its next to impossible the first 20 secs... And the sniper you're talking about that hits a target at an excess to 1000 yards ?? the your probably talking about the browning 50. cal rilfe... Im a Konstable in her majestys royal army of Denmark, and spent 6 months in Kosovo. We spent alot of time with the americans during our shooting training down there, and we saw the browing sniper rifle used plenty of times... First of all... the "sniper" or gunner is laying prone, probably have been for about 5 minutes before shooting, and his spotter is laying besides him with binoculars. It took 3 shots to hit a man sized target at 700 yards, and that was i a valley with little wind... So dont tell me that a WW2 sniper with a inferior rifle, and whos been running around up and down stairs, can stop dead in his tracks, take aim standing, and hit a man thats running with his side to the sniper... thats VERY unrealistic...
And about the realism in MOHAA, I was saddend to see that this is just a Q3 mod... All the hype and the interviews and reviews gave everybody the impression that this would be an realistic FPS, and not a boring fragparty mod...
Also sad to see that the servers being played on are all backed up with rocket jockeys and sniper-wanna-be's...
Hope the singleplayer game will be better
